The Freshman

The Verve Pipe

E A C#m B A (x2)
         E                                            A
            When I was young I knew everything
                   C#m                          B  A
            And she a punk who rarely took advice
                           E                                                 A
            Now I'm guilt stricken, sobbing with my head on the floor
            C#m                           B        A
            Stop a baby's breath and a shoe full of rice, now

            C#m  B  A
                        I can't be held responsible
                        Cause she was touching her face
                        I won't be held responsible
                        She fell in love in the first place

                               (Same as verse)
                                      For the life of me, I cannot remember
                                      What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise
                                      For the life of me, I cannot believe we'd ever die for these sins
                                      We were merely freshman

            My best friend took a week's vacation to forget her
            His girl took a week's worth of valium and slept
            Now he's guilt stricken, sobbing with his head on the floor
            Thinks about her now, and how he never really wept he says

                        I can't be held responsible
                        Cause she was touching her face
                        I won't be held responsible
                        She fell in love in the first place

                                      For the life of me, I cannot remember
                                      What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise
                                      For the life of me, I cannot believe we'd ever die for these sins
                                      We were merely freshman
                                                       *Interlude*    Ab A E  (x2)

            We've tried to wash our hands of all this
            We never talk of our lacking relationships
            And how we're guilt stricken, sobbing with our heads on the floor
            We fell through the ice when we tried not to slip, we'd say

                        I can't be held responsible
                        Cause she was touching her face
                        I won't be held responsible
                        She fell in love in the first place

                                      For the life of me, I cannot remember
                                      What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise
                                      For the life of me, I cannot believe we'd ever die for these sins
                                      We were merely freshman

                                      For the life of me, I cannot remember
                                      What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise
                                      For the life of me, I cannot believe we'd ever die for these sins
                                      We were merely freshman
                                             We were merely freshman
                                                   We were merely freshman
                                                          We were merely freshman...
