Intro:
Verse:
A cherry bomb, you are a mystery
Exploded, sparkling quiet nights
My teenage heart packed all my misery, baby
To fingertips that might ignite
And all along you knew my story, didn't you
And all night long I carried yours
Your blood was mixed wine and robbery, baby
And left us always wanting more
Riff played once:
Chorus:
So don't sing me your songs about the good times
Those days are gone and you should just let them go
And God help the man who says if you'd have known me when
Old haunts are for forgotten ghosts
Old haunts are for forgotten ghosts
Intro played once
Cherry bomb, your love is surgery
Removing what you don't regard
And every breath felt like a funeral, baby
While you were packing up your car
And with the window down I hear your tired mouth
You borrowed everything and wore all your old welcomes out
And shame on you, my love you sold your youth away
Memories are sinking ships that never would be saved
Riff played once
Chorus:
So don't sing me your songs about the good times
Those days are gone and you should just let them go
And God help the man who says if you'd have known me when
Old haunts are for forgotten ghosts
Old haunts are for forgotten ghosts
Bridge:
And shame, shame, shame, shame on you
You kept your mind and heart and youth
Just like a tomb
And shame, shame, shame, shame on you
You kept your mind and heart and youth
Just like a tomb
Just like a tomb
Just like a tomb
Just like a tomb
Instrumental part:
Chorus:
So don't sing me your songs about the good times
Those days are gone and you should just let them go
And God help the man who says if you'd have known me when
Old haunts are for forgotten ghosts
So don't sing me your songs about the good times
Those days are gone and you should just let them go
And God help the man who says if you'd have known me when
And God help the man who says if you'd have known me when
And God help this man My baby, if you'd have known me when
Em7 Cadd9 G D( slide like in the intro) G
Old haunts are all we've ever known
That's it
