capo 1st fret
[verse 1]
I saw John, he looked so sad
I want you to know that I feel bad for not making our dreams come true
We had so many dreams me and you
I want you to know I love you
You're my favorite thing from the past
And all of those nights we spent together
I never had such a blast....
[chorus]
Anyone could tell you were my instrument
he said I understand you. You wanna play me
Everything about us had an innocence
but everything around us was changing
[verse 2]
It's hard to believe so much happened so fast
Remember the way we always laughed
While thinking of things to do
We were kings of the world, me and you
I wish it has stayed like that forever
But everyone was dropping off like flies
I had so many friends in rehab,
A couple who practically died
[chorus 2]
Anyone could tell you were my instrument
he said I understand you. You wanna play me
Everything about us had an innocence
but everything around us was changing
[bridge]
And my mistake was being already married
I wanna make a leap of innocence to you
[verse 3]
I guess when you were living the high life
It's one of those things that just can't last
Kind of like love in California
But I never had such a blast
[chorus 3]
Anyone could tell you were my instrument
he said I understand you. You wanna play me
Everything about us had an innocence
but everything around us was changing
[outro]
My mistake is thinking I'd already made it
I wanna make a leap of innocence
My mistake is thinking you and I can change it
I wanna make a leap of innocence to you
