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

[Pre-Chorus]

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]

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 compromise
                     F
For the life of me,  I cannot believe
     Am                 G    F
We'd ever die for these sins we were merely freshmen

[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

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...

[Pre-Chorus]

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]

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 compromise
                     F
For the life of me,  I cannot believe
     Am                 G    F
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...

[Pre-Chorus]

Am   G     F
         I can't be held responsible
