   Bridge: Em, D


Lyrics:


          
Blue jeans, Wh

ite shirt

Walked into th

e room you kno

w you made my 

eyes burn
             
It was like, J

          
ames Dean, for

 sure

You so fresh t

o death and si

ck as ca-ca-ca

ncer
            
You were sorta

            
 punk rock, I 

grew up on hip

 hop
    
But you fit me

 better than m

y favourite sw

eater, and I k

now
            
That love is m

    
ean, and love 

hurts
    
But I still re

member that da

y we met in De

cember, oh bab

y!


            
I will love yo

             
u till the end

    
 of time

I would wait a million years
            
Promise you'll

             
 remember that

        
 you're mine

Baby can you see through the tears
            
Love you more,


 than those bi

tches before

Say you'll rem

ember, oh baby

, say you'll r

emember
            
I will love yo

             
u till the end

    
 of time


          
Big dreams, Ga

ngster

Said you had t

o leave to sta

rt your life o

ver
            
I was like: "N

           
o please", "St

ay here"

"We don't need

 no money we c

an make it all

 work"
            
But he headed 

              
out on Sunday,

 
 said he'd com

e home Monday

I stayed up wa

iting, anticip

ating and paci

ng but he was
       
Chasing, Paper

"Caught up in 

the game" that

 was the last 

I heard


            
I will love yo

             
u till the end

    
 of time

I would wait a million years
            
Promise you'll

             
 remember that

        
 you're mine

Baby can you see through the tears
            
Love you more,


 than those bi

tches before

Say you'll rem

ember, oh baby

, say you'll r

emember
            
I will love yo

             
u till the end

    
 of time



He went out ev

ery night, And

 baby that's a

lright
              
I told you tha

              
t no matter wh

              
at you did, I'

            
d be by your s

ide

Cause I'm a ride or die, Whether you fail or fly,

Well shit at least you tried.
              
But when you w

              
alked out that

 
 door, a piece

 of me died

I told you I wanted more, but that not what I had in mind
              
I just want it

      
 like before, 

We were dancin

g all night

Then they took you away, - stole you out of my life

You just need to remember...


            
I will love yo

             
u till the end

    
 of time

I would wait a million years
            
Promise you'll

             
 remember that

        
 you're mine

Baby can you see through the tears
            
Love you more,


 than those bi

tches before

Say you'll rem

ember, oh baby

, say you'll r

emember
            
I will love yo

             
u till the end

    
 of time
