Verse Arpeggiated 
Em                   C 
Beating the drum all night 
G 
Dancing naked around a fire 
Em              C 
Leaving trouble behind 
G 
Swimming in the water 
            Em             C 
We found the tent with the flashlight 
        G 
We were looking for a hideout 
            Em             C 
When you’re praying for no strings 
    G 
Sometimes you get tied down 


Chorus {Arpeggiated 
Em    C                             G 
And I never thought that this would happen 
Em      C                       G 
And you got all weird after the weekend 
Em        C                    G 
Sometimes you make out with an old friend 
Em      C                      G 
And I’m rounding first and I’m sliding into second 

Verse Arpeggiated 
Em                       C 
She could never hold her tongue much 
G 
And when I bit her lip hard 
Em             C        
Expecting some review like 
G 
2 out of 5 stars 
       Em                    C 
But in a moment she revealed that 
G 
She was no different 
            Em             C 
We were just kid’s nervous breathing 
G 
Showing some forgiveness

Verse Palm-muted strums 
Em                      C 
In your wooly socks and Birkenstocks 
G 
What would they say about us 
Em                 C 
At the hour of the evening 
G 
The night will carry on without us 
Em                    C 
But if we had to play one card 
G 
And say we both blacked out 
Em                      C 
And my friends seems to trust us 
G 
They believe this silly kinda of cop out 
Let me tell you now
