Verse 1:
BB
There was a place in Maine,
not that long ago
AbmAbm
Where we would hide away,
for several months or so.
E MajorE
Tucked beneath the pines,
BB
and under summer skies,
GbGb
a bunch of twenty somethings running barefoot every night.
BB
And some of us were new,
and some had been for years.
AbmAbm
And a few of us found love,
all of us had fears.
E MajorE
But every single night,
we'd gather by the fire,
GbGb
and sing away the night.
Chorus:
BB E MajorE BB GbGb
And oh, when the fire burns out and the embers all die,
AbmAbm E MajorE
we still have all our stories,
BB GbGb
like stars in the sky.
AbmAbm E MajorE BB GbGb
And we will always remember how we lit up the night.
AbmAbm E MajorE
Oh, summers by the lake,
BB GbGb BB E MajorE BB GbGb
like a million twinkling lights...
Verse 2:
BB
And the days were only measured by the sun's rise and fall,
E MajorE AbmAbm
and we spent our nights out searching for the meaning of it all.
E MajorE
Falling deep in love,
sneaking out at night,
GbmGbm
somehow it just felt right.
Chorus:
BB E MajorE BB GbGb
And oh, when the fire burns out and the embers all die,
AbmAbm E MajorE
we still have all our stories,
BB GbGb
like stars in the sky.
AbmAbm E MajorE BB GbGb
And we will always remember how we lit up the night.
AbmAbm E MajorE
Oh, summers by the lake,
BB GbGb BB E MajorE BB GbGb
like a million twinkling lights...
BB E MajorE BB GbGb
Twinkling lights...
Verse 3:
BB GbGb
Well I never saw it coming,
BB
but now I'll always know,
AbmAbm
that summer is more than freedom,
and love will come and go.
E MajorE
We may not have it now,
BB
but we had it then.
GbGb
We will never be the same,
no matter how it ends.
BB
Because when we've all grown old,
living far away.
AbmAbm
On our darkest days,
we will remember Maine.
E MajorE
Cuz there's something about a fire,
BB
and a couple rounds of beer.
GbGb
And we'll tell em all our dreams,
love for all to hear.
Chorus:
BB E MajorE BB GbGb
And oh, when the fire burns out and the embers all die,
AbmAbm E MajorE
we still have all our stories,
BB GbGb
like stars in the sky.
AbmAbm E MajorE BB GbGb
And we will always remember how we lit up the night.

Oh, summers by the lake,
BB GbGb BB E MajorE BB GbGb
like a million twinkling lights...

Twinkling lights...

Twinkling lights.
