Verse 1:
E minorEm D MajorD
Oh, we met on a summer night
C majorC G+G D/F#D/F#
On a park bench in my hometown on the 4th of July
E minorEm D MajorD
I played you that '73 Springsteen song
C majorC G+G D/F#D/F#
I'd been staring at the stars with my lonely angel all night long
E minorEm D MajorD
And you played these six strings like they were part of my soul
C majorC G+G D/F#D/F#
On from then it was all about guitars and getting stoned
E minorEm D MajorD
We watched those church bell blues go up in smoke
C majorC G+G D/F#D/F#
Just rolling along when the good times rolled
Chorus:
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC G+G D/F#D/F#
We were gonna meet in that town by the sea
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC G+G D/F#D/F#
There was a promise of salvation, its echoes reaching out into our dreams
C majorC D MajorD
There was wine on our lips and there was smoke on our breath
E minorEm D/F#D/F# 
C/GC/G
Brought down my guards just to let you in
C majorC D MajorD
We were like lovers in those songs, who'd have thought that's what we'd become
E minorEm D/F#D/F# C/GC/G
When we had dreams and songs to sing
G+G D/F#D/F# C/GC/G
we had everything
Verse 2:
E minorEm D MajorD
The night sky became a solitude
C majorC G+G D/F#D/F#
As I watched the beat of those big engines side by side with you
E minorEm D MajorD
You told me some of your stories and I told you some of mine
C majorC G+G D/F#D/F#
And I found that harmony somewhere in your longing eyes
E minorEm D MajorD
Countless cups of coffee, countless cigarettes
C majorC G+G D/F#D/F#
Countless days and nights and smiles I swore not to forget
E minorEm D MajorD
Countless times we fucked the law and then fucked some more
C majorC G+G D/F#D/F#
Countless times I cursed the distance to the one to come back for
Chorus:
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC G+G D/F#D/F#
We were gonna meet in that town by the sea
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC G+G D/F#D/F#
There was a promise of salvation, its echoes reaching out into our dreams
C majorC D MajorD
There was whiskey on our lips and there was smoke on our breath
E minorEm D/F#D/F# C/GC/G
Brought down my guards just to let you in
C majorC D MajorD
We were like lovers in those songs, so sure that that's what we'd become
E minorEm D/F#D/F# C/GC/G
When we had dreams and songs to sing
G+G D/F#D/F# C/GC/G
we had everything

Verse 3:
E minorEm D MajorD
You held me close on New Year's Eve
C majorC G+G D/F#D/F#
Those shooting stars granted me my wish for you to save me
E minorEm D MajorD
You kept my head spinning and you made my heart sing
C majorC G+G D/F#D/F#
Singing 'Hey there, lonely angel, where have you been?'
E minorEm D MajorD
I took you to that bar where my lost harmonies roam
C majorC G+G D/F#D/F#
And I played you all these songs so I wouldn't have to spend the night alone
E minorEm D MajorD
Come morning the winter air was filled with snow
C majorC G+G D/F#D/F#
Kissed you a thousand times goodbye and still it broke my heart to go
Chorus:
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC G+G D/F#D/F#
We were gonna meet in that town by the sea
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC G+G D/F#D/F#
There was a promise of salvation, its echoes reaching out into our dreams
C majorC D MajorD
There was smoke on our lips and we were out of breath
E minorEm D/F#D/F# C/GC/G
Brought down my guards just to let you in
C majorC D MajorD
We were like lovers in those songs, but that was all we would become
E minorEm D/F#D/F# C/GC/G
When we had dreams and songs to sing
G+G D/F#D/F# C/GC/G
Once we had everything
