[Intro]
Em D
[Verse 1]
EmDesert, middle of winter
GMy feet, they know America
DMy cheek, frozen window
CMy eyes eat up a handful
EmGaining and then I'm leaving
GJust as it starts to happen
DSometimes I feel the distance
CBut then I remember being kids
[Chorus]
And Emswinging in the light of the Gdisco ballC  
Shut my eyes, I'm still Emswaying in the light of the Gdisco ballC  
[Verse 2]
EmOld part is all melting
GMy friend shows me everything
DWe run around inside our high school
CThe hoop in my stomach gets dunked
EmOver and over, think of my boys
GThey're in class stirring up another continent
DRight now I feel the missing
CBut then I remember being held
[Chorus]
And Emswinging in the light of the Gdisco ball
CSwinging in the light of the disco ball
AmTime to go
Back there now, I'm Emswaying the light of the Gdisco ball
I'm still sCwinging in the light of the disco ball
AmBack there now, I'm Emswaying in the light of the disco ball
[Outro]
GThought I'd be forever in the light that way
CThought I would be swaying now
EmThought I'd be forever in the light that way
AmThought I would be swaying now
GThought I'd be forever in the light that way
CThought I would be swaying now, be swaying now
AmThought I'd be forever in the light that way
DThought I would be swaying now
GThought I'd be forever in the light that way
CThought I would be swaying now
EmThought I'd be forever in the light that way
AmThought I would be swaying now
GThought I'd be forever in the light that way
CThought I would be swaying now, would be swaying now
AmThought I'd be forever in the light that way
DThought I would be swaying now
GThought I'd be forever in the light that way
CThought I would be swaying now
EmThought I'd be forever in the light that way
AmThought I would be swaying now
GThought I'd be forever in the light that way
CThought I would be swaying now
GThought I'd be forever in the light that way
