C#m B D A
When the night is young in the land I'm from, the seasons ghost away
C#m B D A
The stars at night obscured by light, can still lead me through this
G#m F# A G#m F# A
Don't know where I want to be but I'm glad that you're with me
G#m F# A
And all I know is it'd be easy to leave
Do this walk down on the D string before that main riff:
D|-14-13-11-9-|
And that's basically it!
And in my mind I can't see the street
Where you and I will live
You still can't see the stars at night
But we're not primitive
Don't know where I want to be
Oh but I'm glad that you're with me
And all I know is it'd be easy to leave
