A E
I remember all them summers

Playing 'til my fingers bled

I hate to sleep alone

That you need me, let me know
πΈ Chorus:
A
'Cause it's just two hours to get there, babe

I can make it back about an hour or so
Bm
Hold you close against my skin
D
I need a little warmth on a night so cold
A
Singing songs you used to sing
E
The one about the lady in the long, black veil
Bm
Should've seen the warnings signs
D
But I loved to hear you wail

High and lonesome, hard and strong

Even if it was a little out of tune

Hotter than socks on a Jersey Giant

Lord
I thought you hung the moon

I miss those nights of reckless glory
