Looking Back Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Dm]Looking back at public s[G]chool
Reading [C]playboy [G]magazine[Am]
[G]Insis[Dm]ting that the articl[Em]es
Were [Dm]the only things we'd [G]read
[Am]Thinking then that love was meant to
Con[F]quer
And if [Am]a girl said she liked you
Then [F]you'd bonk her
Don't try to lay that mush on [G]me

[Verse 2]
[Dm]Looking back a [G]high school
Getting drunk [C]for the loc[G]al [Am]dance
[Dm]Lonely boys
[Em]Nervous girls
[Dm]Grappling with ro[G]mance
[Am]Thinking then that love
Meant something [F]frightening
A sud[Am]den end as brutal
As bolts [F]of lightening
Don't know what it
[Dm]was, but [F]it scared [G]me

[Verse 3]
From [Dm]one night stands
to wed[G]ding bands
To strug[C]gling [G]to stay [Am]free
[Dm]Watching time [Em]move faster
As hold [Dm]on helplessly
[G]As [Am]love smolders waiting to be tam[F]ed
We grow [Am]older staying much [F]the same

[Verse 4]
[Dm]Looking back a college[G] life
Seemed [C]like such a com[Em]prom[Am]ise
Un[Dm]sure of my direc[Em]tion
Using [Dm]brains as my dis[G]guise
[Am]Thinking then that love meant to
Re[F]member
[Am]You only felt it's warmth
When you sur[F]rendered
[Am]Don't know what it was, but [F]it scared [Am]me
