[Intro]
C F Am (3 beats) G (1 beat) F

[Verse 1]
C F
when I was young I knew everything
Am G F
and she a punk who rarely ever took advice
C F
now I'm guilt stricken sobbing with my head on the floor
Am G F
stop a baby's breath and a shoe full of rice (no)

Am G F
I can't be held responsible
Am G F
'cause she was touching her face
Am G F
I won't be held responsible
Am G F
she fell in love in the first place

[Chorus 1]
C F
for the life of me, I cannot remember
Am G F C
what made us think that we were wise and we'd never compro-mise
F
for the life of me, I cannot believe
Am G F
we'd ever die for these sins we were merely freshmen

[Bridge]

[Verse 2]
C F
my best friend took a week's vacation to forget her
Am G F
his girl took a week's worth of valium and slept
C F
and now he's guilt stricken sobbing with his head on the floor
Am G F
thinks about her now and how he never really wept, he says...

Am G F
I can't be held responsible
Am G F
'cause she was touching her face
Am G F
I won't be held responsible
Am G F
she fell in love in the first place

[Chorus 2]
C F
for the life of me, I cannot remember
Am G F C
what made us think that we were wise and we'd never compro-mise

we'd ever die for these sins we were merely freshmen

[Verse 3]
C F
we've tried to wash our hands of all of this
Am G F
we never talk of our lacking relationships
C F
and how we're guilt stricken sobbing with our heads on the floor
Am G F
we fell through the ice, when we tried not to slip, we'd say it...

Am G F
I can't be held responsible
Am G F
'cause she was touching her face
Am G F
I won't be held responsible
Am G F
she fell in love in the first place

[Chorus 3] (x2)
C F
for the life of me, I cannot remember
Am G F C
what made us think that we were wise and we'd never compro-mise
F
for the life of me, I cannot believe
Am G F
we'd ever die for these sins we were merely freshmen

[Outro]
C F
We were merely freshmen
Am G F
We were only freshmen
