Selection chords: Katie Paterson

Intro: Am C G D

Verse:
Am
 Meeting up, like weʼre 17 again
C
 Solo cups, but now we put beer in them
G
 Laying back and daring me to
D
 Dive into the deep end

Am
 Reaching out, how you been holding up?
C
ʼCause I heard youʼd recently broken up
G
 With the boy you grew apart from
D
 So much for your first love

Pre-chorus:
Am
 And we laugh like little kids
C
 Bad jokes for the hell of it
G
 Mom says come inside, we say "in a minute"

 But I wish that I could

Chorus:
Am               C
Close my eyes, ignore the sirens
G                   D
Watch the sun leave the horizon
Am            C
We wonʼt Go unless weʼre dying
    G                                D
But we both know that time was never kind
    Am
And you know in July
             C
Those summer nights belong to you and I

Verse:

Moving out and counting the miles, this
C
 Little town takes all of your breath with it
G
 Fatal flaw, Iʼm sick of it all
    D
But now that Iʼm leaving, Iʼm missing

Pre-chorus:
Am
All the late nights in
        C
Let our deepest secrets slip
        G                              D
Holding tight, this was nice, wasnʼt it?

But I wish that I could

Chorus:
Am               C
Close my eyes, ignore the sirens
G                   D
Watch the sun leave the horizon
Am            C
We wonʼt Go unless weʼre dying
    G                                D
But we both know that time was never kind
    Am
And you know in July
             C
Those summer nights belong to you and I

Bridge:
Am
 Hold on a little longer
C
 Youʼre slipping through my fingers
G                         D
 The tide will pull us under

 Whatʼs left of you will linger
Am
 Hold on a little longer
C
 Youʼre slipping through my fingers
G                        D
 The tide will pull us under

 Whatʼs left of you will linger

 But I wish that I could

Chorus:
Am               C
Close my eyes, ignore the sirens
G                   D
Watch the sun leave the horizon
Am            C
We wonʼt Go unless weʼre dying
    G                                D
But we both know that time was never kind
    Am
And you know in July
             C
Those summer nights belong to you and I
