[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
Summer sand stuck to my fingers
CSummer song stuck in my head
GSleeping out in half-built houses
CFireworks bursting above our bed
I Dfelt like a king on IndeCpendence Day
[Chorus]
GWe faced the future, eyes wide open
CCrossed all our hearts before they were broken
GSaid our goodbyes, nothing was spoken
You Dcan't go back
                                      C    G    D    E   C~ ~
You were the best intention I ever had
[Verse 2]
GIn the glow of graduation
CTook the stage and sat back down
And Gafter that we knew so little
CPosing in your cap and gown
you Dsmiled, no one is imCmune from change
[Chorus]
GWe faced the future, eyes wide open
CCrossed all our hearts before they were broken
GSaid our goodbyes, nothing was spoken
You Dcan't go back

You were the best intention I ever had
[Bridge]
EmWe came Gtoo late
Broke Ddown the door and faced the outcome
And Emyou stayed Gso still
AmTook you in and turned their lights on
CWe stood staring from your front lawn
[Chorus]
GWe faced the future, eyes wide open
CCrossed all our hearts before they were broken
