Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Must have been sleeping
 Must have been drinking
 Haven't been dreaming  about you
 for years
 There was a sharp  turn
 and a sun burn
 I was too cool  for
 high  school that year
 Must have been new years
 no one invited you
 you took things too far
 but I missed you
 and your antics
 you were lonesome
 blue eyed and
 so special to us
You  should have taken a long  break
 insted of a long  drop from a high  place
Ten  years I never spoke  of your name,  now it feels
 good to say it, you're  my friend again
 He said he forgave you
 I said I hated you
 He was the bigger man
 I was sixteen
 All the innocence
 it took for
 you to finally make your yearbook
 that year
You  could have taken some  time  away
 insted of a leap  of faith
Ten  years I never spoke  of your name,  now it feels
 good to say it, you're  my friend again you're  my friend again
 I was angry
 I was a baptist
 I was a daugther
 I was wrong
