🎸 Verse:

Db
There's a time that's always so fitting
Gb
Where the sites and sounds were just the beginning
         Bbm                            Ab
I didn't know that years ago I'd find myself



In ways that warped my brain
     Db
And I knew that everything would be better
      Gb
If we only had more time
           Bbm
But in the moment I found simpler things
             Ab
Yeah, in the moment I found mine
           Bbm           Ab
But it's a long way down after the other
Gb                   Ebm
Twelve long months until I recover
       Bbm           Ab                Gb
It's a long way down after the other one

🎸 Chorus:

Db                                         Gb
Those days are long gone but we can all pretend

Our love was so strong
                 Bbm               Ab
Let's do it all again and make new scars
                   Gb                  Ab
We'll fly into the night like shooting stars
Db                                  Gb
Faster, go faster so we can finally breathe
                                  Bbm
Turn up the stereo and let us all sing
             Ab                          Gb
Our favorite songs, the ones that keep reminding us
     Ab                      Db
That we were the kids of the summer


🎸 Verse 2:

Db                                         Gb
Those days, I remember them hitting like a tidal wave
                              Bbm
Wrapped up in a pretty little face
                         Ab
Covered me entirely with sun and rain through summer days
Db                                         Gb
And oh, my heart grew bigger back then somehow
                                             Bbm
I got the feeling I wanted but it's all gone now
                                        Ab
Thought it would last forever inside my chest

Let's keep it beating together
           Bbm           Ab
But it's a long way down after the other
Gb                   Ebm
Twelve long months until I recover
       Bbm           Ab                Gb
It's a long way down after the other one
