 Verse-
                D5    
 We watched the sunset
                                Gsus2 
 And we told ourselves to never forget
                                D5     
 Just how good it felt to be surrounded
                                 Gsus2            
 By a town that we knew like the back of our hands
 
          B5   A5            G5              
 We felt alive, home for the very first time.

 Verse-
             D5      
 It's been a year now
                            Gsus2  
 But I still appreciate the sundown
                                   D5      
 It reminds me somehow things will work out
                                 Gsus2             
 And I'll fall to your arms just like I'd always do
 
            B5   A5          G5                      B5  A5 
 It felt so good, it was the very first time I felt alive
           G5  
 Yeah, so alive

 D5                                                       
 If I could sing this out loud I'd scream it to the clouds
 G5                                                 
 And everyone in this town would know what I'm about
 B5                                                   
 I'd rather die than feel this pain take me over again
 G5                        
 It's so hard to let you go
 
 D5 G5 D5 G5 
     
 D5 G5 B5 G5 
     
 Is it safe to say?
 
 D5 G5 D5 G5 
     
 
 
 Outro-
       D5                 G5                      
 Is it safe to say in the morning you'll come back
                 D5          
 And things will be the same?
        G5                                  D5              
 'Cause since the day you left you know I've had a hard time
       G5                      D5              
 And I want you to know if you hear these words
 G5                    
 Please just come back?
 
 D5 A G5 D5 A G5 
       

 Oh- oh oh- ohh Oh- oh-oh oh-oh oh Oh oh-oh oh oh
