Verse 1:
C
I was in Austin
G G/F# Em
Hanging with my old friends
C
They’re showing me pictures
G G/F# Em
Bonfires and cigarettes
C
So now the guilt is starting
G G/F# Em
Cause I wanted to be there
C
And I got what I wanted
D
But I wanna be a kid again
Chorus:
G C Am7 D
I should've lingered a little more
G C
I should've stayed up
Am7 D
Watching the stars from the patio floor
G C
I traded shoes on a wire for jet planes
Am7 D
Head’s in the clouds but I’m back in the old days
G C Am7 D
Where I linger a little more
Verse 2:
C
Stumbling through Nashville
G G/F# Em
Not a soul on a sidewalk
C
My friends used to call me
G G/F# Em
My friends used to wanna talk
C
But now I’m too busy
G G/F# Em
Or at least that’s what they’re telling themselves
C
Went from "How are you doin’ "
D
To "I hope that your well"
Chorus:
G C Am7 D
I should've lingered a little more
G C
I should've stayed up
Am7 D
Watching the stars from the patio floor
G C
I traded shoes on a wire for jet planes
Am7 D
Head’s in the clouds but I’m back in the old days
G C Am7 D
Where I linger a little more
[Instrumental]
G C Am7 D
Bridge:
F
And maybe I’m still in the back of their minds
D
Cause I keep them all at the front of mine
Chorus:
G C Am7 D
I should've lingered a little more
G C
I should've stayed up
Am7 D
Watching the stars from the patio floor
G C
I traded shoes on a wire for jet planes
Am7 D
Head’s in the clouds but I’m back in the old days
G C Am7 D
Where I linger a little more
Outro:
G C Am7 D
Yeah, I linger a little more
G C Am7 D
I linger a little more
G C Am7 D
I linger a little more
G C Am7 D G
I linger a little more
