[Verse 1]
D                            G
 When I was young, I knew everything
    Bm
And she,
                  A    G
a punk who rarely ever took advice
        D
Now I'm guiltstricken,
                G
sobbin' with my head on the floor
Bm                      A     G
Stopped a baby's breath and a shoe full of rice,
no

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm A G
     Can't be held responsible
Bm A G
     She was touching her face
Bm A  G
    I won't be held responsible
Bm A            G
    She fell in love in the first place

[Chorus]
D                   G
 For the life of me, I cannot remember
Bm                        A       G
  What made us think that we were wise
                     D
And we'd never compromise?
                   G
For the life of me, I cannot believe
     Bm                 A
We'd ever die for these sins,
G
we were merely freshmen

[Verse 2]
D G Bm A
G        D                      G
 My best friend took a week's vacation to forget her
    Bm                 A        G
His girl took a week's worth of valium and slept
             D
And now he's guiltstricken,
                 G
sobbin' with his head on the floor
      Bm                  A      G
Thinks  about her now and how he never really wept,
he said

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm A G
     Can't be held responsible
Bm A G
     She was touching her face
Bm A  G
    I won't be held responsible
Bm A            G
    She fell in love in the first place

[Chorus]
D                   G
 For the life of me, I cannot remember
Bm                        A       G
  What made us think that we were wise
                     D
And we'd never compromise?
                   G
For the life of me, I cannot believe
     Bm                 A
We'd ever die for these sins,
G
we were merely freshmen

[Verse 3]
D                                 G
 We tried to wash our hands of all of this
           Bm            A       G
We'd never talk of our lacking relationships
              D                              G
And how we're guiltstricken sobbin' with our heads on the
floor
   Bm                   A       G
We fell through the ice when we tried not to slip,
we'd say

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm A G
     Can't be held responsible
Bm A      G
    Cause she was touching her face
Bm A           G
    And I won't be held responsible
Bm A            G
    She fell in love in the first place

[Chorus]
D                   G
 For the life of me, I cannot remember
Bm                        A       G
  What made us think that we were wise
                     D
And we'd never compromise?
                   G
For the life of me, I cannot believe
     Bm                 A
We'd ever die for these sins,
G
we were merely freshmen
D                   G
 For the life of me, I cannot remember
Bm                        A       G
  What made us think that we were wise
                     D
And we'd never compromise?
                   G
For the life of me, I cannot believe
     Bm       A
We'd ever die for these sins,
G
we were merely freshmen

[Outro]
D  G
 We were merely freshmen
Bm A  G
    We were only freshmen
D G Bm A G
