[Verse]
DLet's take it back
To the sAummer of the end of the F#mworld
The first thoughts would be
FEriends, east tDour, and a girl
With sleepless nAights and meaningless fights
About my rEestless legs
DStealing tents anAd hopping fencesF#m  
Wasting oAur heads with no tDime to lose
Because it's  too more yeaArs until the best 
Part of me is the Epast part of me Aand yoDu
[Chorus]
And it's Dnights like tonightA  
When the sF#mtars shine brighter aEnd 
They speDll your namAe
I think derogatorEily because I know
It won't ever be the sameD  
FAorever is a cinder blEock on string
A broken hAeart seems a necessiDty 
But AI'm tired of losinEg sleep 
[Verse]
DI'm still breathingA  
But please rest aF#mssured
I'm left with an "x" amount of feelings A  
Of the nights never heard
DWhen I was torn between the hF#meart on my sleeve 
EThe stone cold dilemma that kept mBe neck deep 
On tDhe long drive home
When yoAu said you were fine
And the sF#mongs so slow
To helEp you think over time
But baby Dwe both kAnow we'll never let this go
Just keep your fEriends out of your ear 
While I keep mine out of miAnd 
[Chorus]
And it's Dnights like tonightA  
When the sF#mtars shine brighter aEnd 
They speDll your namAe
I think derogatorEily because I know
It won't ever be the sameD  
FAorever is a cinder blEock on string
A broken hAeart seems a necessiDty 
But AI'm tired of losinEg sleep

One thaAt you shouldn't takeD  
But if the outcome fAeels okay
To turn the paEge, Ato wF#malk awayA  
Then have Dno choice but to keep
Sad, straight glanAces 
When I'm out Ethe door
I'll take my chDances

DWith blank stares F#and sideways glancesE  
To keep it up would be to take it for grantedD

A F#m E

D A E

[Verse]

Let's take it back

A F#m

To the summer of the end of the world

The first thoughts would be

E D

Friends, east tour, and a girl

With sleepless nights and meaningless fights

About my restless legs

D A F#m

Stealing tents and hopping fences

A D

Wasting our heads with no time to lose

Because it's too more years until the best

E A D

Part of me is the past part of me and you

[Chorus]

D A

And it's nights like tonight

F#m E

When the stars shine brighter and

D A

They spell your name

I think derogatorily because I know

It won't ever be the same

A E

Forever is a cinder block on string

A D

A broken heart seems a necessity

A E

But I'm tired of losing sleep

[Verse]

D A

I'm still breathing

F#m

But please rest assured

I'm left with an "x" amount of feelings

Of the nights never heard

D F#m

When I was torn between the heart on my sleeve

E B

The stone cold dilemma that kept me neck deep

On the long drive home

When you said you were fine

F#m

And the songs so slow

To help you think over time

D A

But baby we both know we'll never let this go

Just keep your friends out of your ear

While I keep mine out of mind

[Chorus]

D A

And it's nights like tonight

F#m E

When the stars shine brighter and

D A

They spell your name

I think derogatorily because I know

It won't ever be the same

Forever is a cinder block on string

A broken heart seems a necessity

A E

But I'm tired of losing sleep

D E

A F#m

A F#m

[Bridge]

A range of four days

E A F#m Bm D

Is a long and unexpected holiday

A D

One that you shouldn't take

But if the outcome feels okay

E A F#m A

To turn the page, to walk away

Then have no choice but to keep

Sad, straight glances

When I'm out the door

I'll take my chances

D F#

D F# E

With blank stares and sideways glances

To keep it up would be to take it for granted

F#m

To be the one to try and keep us afloat

But the part of me that wants it picks fights

With the part of me that won't

(x2)

D E F#m

So carve my name in the palm of your hand

Squeeze your fist until you understand

That we were something special

You were one of those girls

F#m

I was your Gosling

E A

You were my world
