[Intro]
E F#m D D


[Verse]
E                   F#m          D
There's a place off Ocean Avenue
                    
  Where I used to sit
               E
and talk with you
             F#m 
  We were both 16
               D
and it felt so right
                  
  Sleeping all day,
               E   F#m    D
staying up all night
              E  F#m  D
Staying up all night


[Verse]
E                      
  There's a place on the
  F#m                    D
corner of Cherry Street
                     
  We would walk on the
                       E
beach in our bare feet
             F#m 
  We were both 18
                    D
and it felt so right
                  
  Sleeping all day,
               E   F#m  D
staying up all night
              E  F#m D
Staying up all night


[Chorus]
           E        F#m
If I could find you now
                 D
Things would get better
         E          F#m
We could leave this town
           D
And run forever
         E           F#m
Let your waves crash down on me
    D
And take me away, yeah


[Interlude]
E F#m D D


[Verse]
E                     
  Theres a piece of you
        F#m
that's here with me
    D
Its everywhere I go
                  E
It's everything I see
        F#m
When I sleep
                       D
I dream and it gets me by
                        
  I can make believe that
            E  F#m  D
you're here tonight
                E  F#m  D
That you're here tonight


[Chorus]
           E        F#m
If I could find you now
                 D
Things would get better
         E          F#m
We could leave this town
           D
And run forever
           E          F#m
I know somewhere, somehow
           D
We'll be together
         E           F#m
Let your waves crash down on me
    D
And take me away, yeah

A A  

  F#m  E  D A                                   F#m
I remember that look in your eyes
                                   E
When I told you this was good bye

You were begging me not tonight
        D
Not here
        A
Not now
   A                               F#m
We look up at the same night sky
                   
  We keep pretending
                      E
the sun will not rise

We'll be together for one more night
          D
Some where
         A
Some how


[Chorus]
           E        F#m
If I could find you now

Things would get better

We could leave this town
           D
And run forever
           E          F#m
I know somewhere, somehow
           D
We'll be together
         E           F#m
Let your waves crash down on me
    D
And take me away, yeah
