E 
Give me a second I, I need to get my story straight 
    C#m7 
My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the empire state 
    A2 
my lover she's waiting for me just across the bar 
               B4 
My seats been taken by some sunglasses asking 'bout a scar 

E 
and I know I gave it to you months ago 
C#m7                                A2 
I know you're trying to forget but between the drinks and subtle things 
                               B4                             
the holes in my apologies you know I'm trying hard to take it back 
              A2           B4             E        E/D#     C#m7 
so if by the time the bar closes and you feel like falling down 
     A2         B4 
I'll carry you home 


E          E/D#  C#m7                                
Tonight We are  young So let's set the world on 
A2                                 B4   
fire We can burn brighter than the sun  
E          E/D#  C#m7             
Tonight We are  young So let's set the world on 
A2                                B4  
fire We can burn brighter than the sun 


      E                                E/D#  C#m7 
Now I know that I'm not all that you got 
                                                                   A2 
I guess that I, I just thought maybe we could find a ways to fall apart 
                                               B4                                         
But our friends are back So let's raise the toast 

Cause I found someone to carry me home
