[Verse 1]
          
My yesterdays 

             
are all boxed 

          
up and neatly 

    
put away
            
But ev'ry now

Cause you were

           
 always waitin

 to play the g


ame

name was calle

            
d you found a 

           
place to hide
            
When you knew

 man you thoug

      
ht I'd be
            
Too afraid to
