Verse-
We watched the [D5]sunset
And we told ourselves to never [Gsus2]forget
Just how good it felt to be sur[D5]rounded
By a town that we knew like the [Gsus2]back of our hands
We felt a[B5]live,[A5] home for the [G5]very first time.
(Intro/Chorus) x2
(Post-Chorus) x2

Verse-
It's been a [D5]year now
But I still appreciate the [Gsus2]sundown
It reminds me somehow things will [D5]work out
And I'll fall to your arms just [Gsus2]like I'd always do
It felt so [B5]good,[A5] it was the [G5]very first time I felt a[B5]live[A5]
Yeah, so a[G5]live
(Intro/Chorus) x2
(Post-Chorus) x2

[D5]If I could sing this out loud I'd scream it to the clouds
[G5]And everyone in this town would know what I'm about
[B5]I'd rather die than feel this pain take me over again
[G5]It's so hard to let you go
[D5] [G5] [D5] [G5]
[D5] [G5] [B5] [G5]
Is it safe to say?
[D5] [G5] [D5] [G5]
Outro-
Is it [D5]safe to say in the [G5]morning you'll come back
And things will [D5]be the same?
'Cause [G5]since the day you left you know I've[D5] had a hard time
And I [G5]want you to know if you [D5]hear these words
[G5]Please just come back
[D5]Oh oh ohh oh [G5]Oh oh ohh oh oh [D5]Oh oh[Dmaj7]h ohh oh[G5]
