[Intro]
B A E  x2


[Verse 1]
    B
Sometimes I try to
                A
find you In the air
          E
before it rains and
    A
the hiss of cassette
E             A
tapes And the way I
               E
pause before I say your
               B
name Cause I remember
everything But the
A
sound of your voice
E
Fading from the
           B
back Of my mind


[Refrain 1]
        A
And we stayed
up all night talking
      B
after everybody went
to sleep I
A
realized how
things can
          E (hold)
change so quickly


[Chorus 1]
        B
We were singing that
              E
record at the top of
          C#m
our lungs Drinking
until we couldn’t
     E
even fill our cups
         B
When the threads of
our conversation
E
tangled up You
     C#m
said hey can I
 E
stay I said why not?
        B
We were singing that
              E

     E

         B
When the threads of
our conversation
E
tangled up You
     C#m
said hey can I
 E (hold)           B A E
stay I said why not?


[Verse 2]
B
  I found a couple
           A
things you left
In the pocket
E
of my jeans
     A
Some messages
    E
you sent That
  A
I can’t bear
     E
to delete A
B
note on my arm
   A
In permanent
marker From
when we were
 E
standing outside
      B
Of the bar


[Refrain 2]
        A
And we stayed
up all night talking
      B
after everybody went
to sleep I
A
realized how
things can
          E (hold)
change so quickly


[Chorus 2]

[Bridge]
B
  When we woke up we
            A
were at the beach
We ran into the
         B
water smiling
I’m not sure what

there is that
      E
comes after this
B
  If there’s not
            A
anywhere to go
But darkness all
 B
alone Please know

my heart will
       E
always be your home


[Refrain 3]
        A (hold)
And we stayed
up all night talking
      B (hold)
after everybody went
to sleep I
A (hold)
realized how
things can
          E (hold)
change so quickly
