An Evening I Will Not Forget

               C
When love was found
          G
I kept my hope just like I'd hoped to
                 Am               G        F
Then sang to the sea for feelings deep blue
             C
And coming down
                    G
And we've had problems that we've grown through
               Am                G         F
But I bet you dream of what you could do

       F       G         Am
At seventeen, I was alright
           F               G        Am
Was like nothing I could feel inside
     F                G          Am                    F  G  Am
And wishing you were here tonight is like holding on
             F                  G         Am
But I still get to see your face, right?
                  F                G          Am
And that's like nothing they can take, right?
                       F                   G
So there won't be no feeling in the firelight
 Am
Hoping this'll be right
 F                  G          Am
Time to show your worth, child

                     F
I remember when her heart broke over stubborn shit
           G
That's no way to be living kid
     Am
The angel of death is ruthless
                         F
And I'm always thinking summertime with the bikes out
     G
Pushing our luck, getting wiped out
  Am
Days with nothing but laughing loud
                              F
Underneath my coat, won't you tap my shoulder, hold my hand
  G
Nights with nothing but dark in there
 Am
You could be my armor then

 F
Island smiles and cardigans
     G
The nights that we've been drinking in
               Am
We're here to help you kill all

of this hurt that you've been harboring
  F
Confessions should be better planned
   G
Alone, that night, I'm surely damned
 Am
Run away, I'll understand
                          F
What's important is this evening I will not forget
 G
Purple, blue, orange, red
        Am
These colors of feeling

Give me love, I'll put my heart in it
         F
And I think about it all the time
       G
Lights went out, you were fine
     Am
You kinda struggle not to shine

                        F
I still love you, though
                        G
I still love you, though
                        Am
I still love you always
                        F
So hold me when I'm home
                       G
Keep the evenings long
                        Am
Crack and break and part ways

                        F
I still love you, though
                        G
I still love you, though
                        Am
I still love you always
                       F
So hold me when I'm home
                       G
Keep the evenings long
                                  Am
Let's not crack and break and part ways

                                     F G Am
And I wonder if I could let her down

( F  G  Am )
( F  G  Am )
( F  G  Am )
( F  G  Am )

                              F  G  Am
It's for real, it's for real
                            F  G  Am
It's for real, it's for real
