The Freshman

D G Bm A G

verse 1:

D G

When I was young I knew everything

Bm A G

And she a punk who rarely ever took advice

D G

Now I'm guilt stricken sobbing with my head on the floor

Bm A G

Stop a baby's breath and a shoe full of rice (no)

Prechorus:

Bm A G

I can't be held responsible

Bm A G

'Cause 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 D

What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise

G

For the life of me, I cannot believe

Bm A G

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

D G Bm A G

verse 2:

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 G

And now he's guilt stricken sobbing with his head on the floor

Bm A G

Thinks about her now and how he never really wept, he says...

verse 3:

D G

We've tried to wash our hands of all of this

Bm A G

We never talk of our lacking relationships

D G

And how we're guilt stricken sobbing with our heads on the floor

Bm A G

We fell through the ice, when we tried not to slip, we'd say it...
