Verse 1:
Gm7                  Eb
 Meeting up like we’re seventeen again
                   Bb
Solo cups but now we put beer in 'em
              F
Laying back and daring me to
           Gm7
Dive into the deep end
                   Eb
Reaching out, how you been holding up
                    Bb
'Cause I heard you’d recently broken up
                 F
With the boy you grew apart from
              Gm7*
So much for your first love

Pre-Chorus:
               Eb*
And we laugh like little kids
              Bb*
Bad jokes for the hell of it
                    N.C.
Mom says "Come inside," we say "In a minute"

Chorus:

But I wish that I could
Gm7       Eb
Close my eyes, ignore the sirens
Bb         F
Watch the sun leave the horizon
Gm7      Eb
We won’t go unless we’re dying
  Bb                  F
But we both know that time was never kind
  Cm*
And you know in July
          Eb*
Those summer nights belong to you and I

Verse 2:
N.C.
Moving out and counting the miles
  Eb                      Bb
This little town takes all of your breath with it

Fatal flaw I’m sick of it all
  F
But now that I’m leaving
        Eb
I'm missing all the late nights in
      Gm7
Let our deepest secrets slip
    Bb                F
Holding tight, this was nice, wasn’t it?


Chorus:
   N.C.
But I wish I could
Gm7       Eb
Close my eyes, ignore the sirens
Bb         F
Watch the sun leave the horizon
Gm7      Eb
We won’t go unless we’re dying
  Bb                  F
But we both know that time was never kind
  Cm*
And you know in July
          Eb*
Those summer nights belong to you and I


Bridge:
Gm7           Eb
 Hold on a little longer
                 Bb
You’re slipping through my fingers
              F
The tide will pull us under
               Gm7
What’s left of you will linger
Gm7           Eb
 Hold on a little longer
                 Bb
You’re slipping through my fingers
              F
The tide will pull us under

What’s left of you will linger (but I wish that I could)


Chorus:
Gm7*       Eb*
Close my eyes, ignore the sirens
Bb*         F*
Watch the sun leave the horizon
Gm7      Eb
We won’t go unless we’re dying
  Bb                  F
But we both know that time was never kind
  Cm*
And you know in July
          Eb*
Those summer nights belong to you and I
