I Amdon't remember much aGbout that time,
Just the Dsmell of the air and your hand in mine.
   AmRiding the strip, sittin' Gon my lap
In the Dback of the truck with the only friends I had.
It was Amspring break, we were Gout late,
And DI though goodness for heavens sake.
When I Csaw you...
And then I Dkissed you...
Chorus:
  COn a balcony Gover the sun
In a Dchair by the rail, high aEmbove everyone
  CWe made love as the Gwaves rolled in
And we Downed that town for one weekend.
Like the Ctan on my skin, our Gnames in the sand
Like the Dsound of the boat
Starting up, heading out of the Ambay
Girl youC... faded away.Am  G  D  
I Amstill taste the shots on your Glips that night,
And the Dsmoke from the club still burns my eyes
 AmFeel of your body takin' Goff your dress,
Waking Dup that morning in a tangled mess.
So if AmI'da known, I'da Gheld on...
A Dlittle bit longer and stronger with nothing to Close,
Cause I still Dsee you...
  COn a balcony Gover the sun
In a Dchair by the rail, high aEmbove everyone
  CWe made love as the Gwaves rolled in
And we Downed that town for one weekend.
Like the Ctan on my skin, our Gnames in the sand
Like the Dsound of the boat
Starting up, heading out of the Ambay
Girl youC... faded away.

Am G

I don't remember much about that time,

Just the smell of the air and your hand in mine.

Am G

Riding the strip, sittin' on my lap

In the back of the truck with the only friends I had.

Am G

It was spring break, we were out late,

And I though goodness for heavens sake.

When I saw you...

And then I kissed you...

Chorus:

C G

On a balcony over the sun

D Em

In a chair by the rail, high above everyone

C G

We made love as the waves rolled in

And we owned that town for one weekend.

C G

Like the tan on my skin, our names in the sand

Like the sound of the boat

Starting up, heading out of the bay

C Am G D

Girl you... faded away.

Am G

I still taste the shots on your lips that night,

And the smoke from the club still burns my eyes

Am G

Feel of your body takin' off your dress,

Waking up that morning in a tangled mess.

Am G

So if I'da known, I'da held on...

D C

A little bit longer and stronger with nothing to lose,

Cause I still see you...

C G

On a balcony over the sun

D Em

In a chair by the rail, high above everyone

C G

We made love as the waves rolled in

And we owned that town for one weekend.

C G

Like the tan on my skin, our names in the sand

Like the sound of the boat

Starting up, heading out of the bay

Girl you... faded away.
