Chords

G                                 D
when i was very young my neighbor would give me klondike bars

G                                          D
i would climb in the tree that someone had planted in my back yard

G                                D
everything had felt infinite and i know it sounds cliche

G                                       D
but i have to admit it sometimes i wish i could still feel that way


Chorus:
C                         D
but no one was home, yeah everyone was gone

G                             Em  
and i never went back because i knew all along 

C                               D
that you were never coming home, i knew it from the start

G                           Em

G                                             D
when i was a little bit older i heard that my neighbor had passed away

G                                       D
a few years later i had a klondike and it didn't taste the same

G                                      D
i moved away from the house i lived in when i was five years old

G                                       D
