[Intro]
BbRemember we sat in the cold, no money in my Trio
Underneath that waterfall nobody else ever saw
I pDmacked up everything except those memories
That only I can see, and can't get rid of
[Verse 1]
BbI still remember the first, your body hit every nerveF  
BbUsed to wake up in my shirt, that's the one I had to burnF  
DmTrying not to stare, but you are everywhereF  
DmYou're everywhere that FI Gmev Amer kGmnown
[Chorus]
BbYou feel like Brooklyn in the summFer
BbBeen hiding, had to wait for so lFong
DmAnd it's the subtleties, you've only eFver seen
DmBringing the mess of me bFack  Gmto Amge tGmher
BbYou feel like Brooklyn in the summFer
BbBeen stumbling, half awake for so lFong
DmGotta forget that feeling, give into soFmething rDmeal
I've got, IF've goGmtta lAmet yGmou  Bbgo
Gotta let you Dmgo
[Verse 2]
This mBborning I walked to the train, just like you did every dayF  
BbEveryone else is the same, I wonder if you're the sameF  
And Dmdo you lay your head in someone elsFe's bed
    Dm                     N.C.
To help you bury it? Just like you always did
And Bbnow you're in all of my words, only way I can returnF  
MemoBbries fade in reverse, but you will always be heardF  
WherDmever I can sing, you'll be right there wFith me
The nDmotes and melodies that oFnlGmy   AmI   Gmcan see
[Chorus]
BbYou feel like Brooklyn in the summFer
BbBeen hiding, had to wait for so lFong
DmAnd it's the subtleties, you've only eFver seen
DmBringing the mess of me bFack  Gmto Amge tGmher
BbYou feel like Brooklyn in the summFer
BbBeen stumbling, half awake for so lFong
DmGotta forget that feeling, give into soFmething rDmeal
I've got, IF've goGmtta lAmet yGmou  Bbgo
Gotta let you Bbgo
[Bridge]
But maBbybe I'm not really ready to give Fup Bbyou
'Cause nBbobody ever mattered to me lFike you Dmdo
'Cause you're Dmso up here, FI cDmaught that feeling
And tFouch tGmhe AmceilGming, oBboh

Remember we sat in the cold, no money in my Trio

Underneath that waterfall nobody else ever saw

I packed up everything except those memories

That only I can see, and can't get rid of

[Verse 2]

Bb F

This morning I walked to the train, just like you did every day

Bb F

Everyone else is the same, I wonder if you're the same

Dm F

And do you lay your head in someone else's bed

Dm N.C.

To help you bury it? Just like you always did

Bb F

And now you're in all of my words, only way I can return

Bb F

Memories fade in reverse, but you will always be heard

Dm F

Wherever I can sing, you'll be right there with me

Dm F Gm Am Gm

The notes and melodies that only I can see

[Chorus]

'Cause nobody ever mattered to me like you do

Dm F Dm

'Cause you're so up here, I caught that feeling

F Gm Am Gm Bb

And touch the ceiling, ooh

Bb F Bb

I wish I could describe it with words just ain't enough
