Intro:
Am7	Fadd9	C	Gsus4    x4

Verse:
Am7	Fadd9		C	
A cherry bomb, you are a mystery
Am7/E	   Fadd9	C
Exploded, sparkling quiet nights
Am7	      Fadd9		C
My teenage heart packed all my misery, baby
Am7/E	   Fadd9	C
To fingertips that might ignite

Am7	Fadd9		   C
And all along you knew my story, didn't you
Am7/E	   Fadd9	C
And all night long I carried yours
Am7	Fadd9		   C
Your blood was mixed wine and robbery, baby
Am7/E	   Fadd9	C
And left us always wanting more

Chorus:
Am7	  Fadd9		C	G
So don't sing me your songs about the good times
Am7	  Fadd9		C	G
Those days are gone and you should just let them go
Am7	  Fadd9		C	G
And God help the man who says if you'd have known me when 
Am7	  Fadd9		C	G
Old haunts are for forgotten ghosts
Am7	  Fadd9		C	G
Old haunts are for forgotten ghosts

VERSE
Am7	Fadd9		C
Cherry bomb, your love is surgery
Am7/E	   Fadd9	C
Removing what you don't regard
Am7	Fadd9		C
And every breath felt like a funeral, baby
Am7/E	   Fadd9	C
While you were packing up your car
Am7	Fadd9		C
And with the window down I hear your tired mouth
Am7/E	   Fadd9	C
You borrowed everything and wore all your old welcomes out
Am7	Fadd9		C
And shame on you, my love you sold your youth away
Am7/E	   Fadd9	C
Memories are sinking ships that never would be saved

And God help the man who says if you'd have known me when

Old haunts are for forgotten ghosts
