VERSE  

C                         Fmaj7 
Better days are held in a photograph 

   C 
Of summer escapes 

                 Am7 
Of daydreams and tourist traps 

G 
Take me back 

      C                        Fmaj7 
I was never alone to carry the melody 

       C 
It was never my own 

                Am7 
It was always a part of me 

     G              C 
Everything I need 

 

G                                  Em  Am 
You said the words and you didn't even speak 

                      Em F 
Baby let, let me down easy 

                                       C 
I see the tide, it's coming to get me 

G                                  Em Am 
And I don't know who you wanted me to be 

                             Em  F 
I gave a lot, but never what you need 

                                     C 
Winter comes, and summer forgets me 


 VERSE 

C                               Fmaj7 
I know your face in millions of different ways 

        C                              Am7 
There's no escape from the memories of warmer days 

       G            C 
Ones I won't erase 



G                                  Em  Am 
You said the words and you didn't even speak 

                      Em F 
Baby let, let me down easy 

                                       C 
I see the tide, it's coming to get me 

G                                  Em Am 
And I don't know who you wanted me to be 

                             Em  F 
I gave a lot, but never what you need 

                                     C 
Winter comes, and summer forgets me

F 
Blind from the flash 

    Am          G 
I'm frozen in time 

               C 
Everything was perfect 

Em             F 
Everything was right 


Now I'm lost in this world 

        Am          G 
All the colors seem wrong 

               C      Em 
Give it just a moment 

       F 
Just a moment 
 

G                                  Em  Am 
You said the words and you didn't even speak 

                      Em F 
Baby let, let me down easy 

                                       C 
I see the tide, it's coming to get me 

G                                  Em Am 
And I don't know who you wanted me to be 

                             Em  F 
I gave a lot, but never what you need 

                                     C 
Winter comes, and summer forgets me 

 ENDING 

C                         Fmaj7 
Summer days are held in a photograph 

     C 
It's never the same 

   Am7 
We can't go back...
