Verse:
E
I picked up an old acoustic
Abm
Thought my hands knew how to use it
B A
But these days aren't like the old ones
E
Or the songs we sang on the long way home
Verse:
E
I sat back down beside that girl who was texting
Abm
And laughed out loud over obsessions with next things
B A
And how every good song has the words
BREAK:
Dbm
Tonight
A
Take back
F#m
And burn
Dbm
By your side
A
Miss the way
F#m B
And I will never learn
Pre-Chorus
B
So if there's nothing new to say
E
Then let's just say it all again tonight
E Dbm Abm
We had the best times of our lives
A
Let's do it all again
E Dbm Abm
Take back my place there by your side
A
And never let it end
E
The hours passed like days
Dbm
The nights were our escape
Abm
We held onto our friends
A F#m E
And made a couple million mistakes
Dbm Abm
We were so reckless and young
A
Go get your CD case
B F#m
Let's drive around this town
A E
Sing Dashboard at the top of our lungs
Verse:
E
I still remember my parents divorcing
Abm
It took 10 long years of the back and forth thing
A B E
Finally I saw it in my mother's eyes
Verse:
E
A road you can choose that you can't come back from
Abm
And the words you can say to add some traction
Dbm A
But it's what you didn't say
F#m B
That keeps you awake
Pre-Chorus
B
So we tell ourselves it's late
And we save it all for another day
E Dbm Abm
We had the best times of our lives
A
Let's do it all again
E Dbm Abm
Take back my place there by your side
A
And never let it end
E
The hours passed like days
Dbm
The nights were our escape
Abm
We held onto our friends
A F#m E
And made a couple million mistakes
Dbm Abm
We were so reckless and young
A
Go get your CD case
B
Let's drive around this town
A Ab
Sing Dashboard at the top of our lungs
BREAK:
Ab
I want to go back
E
I want to go back tonight
Dbm
Could it be that we're one and the same
A
The world never showed but it gave us a name
E
That hole in your heart is the same shape as mine
B
The piece has gone missing that filled up our lives
Dbm
I'll stand here and I'll take the worst
A
But the song was my own and I sang every verse
E
I'm giving myself up there's nowhere to run
B
If just for one night...
F#m A
Forget all our pride
B
And have fun
E
I want to go back
F#
To the life of the party
B E
I want to go back
B E
I want to go back tonight
E Dbm Abm
We had the best times of our lives
A
Let's do it all again
E Dbm Abm
Take back my place there by your side
A
And never let it end
E
The hours passed like days
Dbm
The nights were our escape
Abm
We held onto our friends
A F#m E
And made a couple million mistakes
Dbm Abm
We were so reckless and young
A
Go get your CD case
