I [Bm] drove up to the city at night and found [G] the place where [A] you [G] grew up
And then there [Bm] you stayed and we stayed [G] up late under city lights
I [Bm] spent the night next to you in the house where you [G] grew up
Next to you I miraculously [Bm] woke up
In your parents' house I lied [G] in bed with you
I [B] went back to feel [G] all in [D] there
I [B] went back to wipe [G] it clean
Took [Bm] the lights and radio towers out [G] of my game
[Bm] And we went all the way up to the small town where [G] I'm from
With [A] foggy air and the wind [G] and the mountain top
[Bm] We climbed to rocks and we [G] looked off and you [A] held my hand
You almost got [Bm] to start feeling me
Finally felt [G] like I was breathing free
[Bm] Under swinging trees we fell asleep and we had the [G] same dreams
The [A] stars were bright, [D] we dreamed the [Bm] same every night
On my island home I'd spend [G] some time with you
[D] I [Gb] went back [B] to feel [G] all in [D] there
I [B] went back there by [G] myself
[D] I [B] gave up on everything that [G] we'd found
We [Bm] found a precious place in the sand, dry out in [G] the wind
We lied under a blanket and heard the [Bm] furious sound
The roar of waves that pointed, served two bodies on [G] the earth
[D] It was intense just getting to [Bm] be there next to you
[D]
You were trying [Bm] to get me then
And I was happy [G] to let [D] you in
I went [Bm] back and wished I [G]
had and
[Bm] Went back and felt regret
[D] I [G] [D] went to the [Bm] beach and I just [G] stared west
And [Bm] every night when the sun went down
On the town [G] where we lived the empty streets were lit
I reflected [Bm] light from a distant sun
Bouncing off [D] a glowing ball of rock
We just lied [Bm] on the roof and watched
The [D] [G]
[Bm] moon, the moon, the blue light of the moon
We [G] didn't talk and silently we both [Bm] felt powerful
And like the moon [G] my chest [D] was full
Cause we both knew we were just floating in space
Over molten [G] rock and we felt [D] safe
And we discovered that our skin is soft as nothing
Left except certain [G] [D] death
And I was comforting at night out under [Bm] the moon
[G] [D]
I [Bm] went out last night to [G] forget [D] that
Went [Bm] out and stared it down
But the moon just stared [G] back at us
[D] [Bm] And it's light I saw my two feet on [G] the ground
[Eb]
