Back when we were still changin' for the better
            Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
Wanting was enough
Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
For me, it was enough
                FF
To live for the hope of it all

Canceled plans just in case you'd call
Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
And say "Meet me behind the mall"

So much for summer love and saying "Us"
