Twinkling Lights

Verse 1:
B
There was a place in Maine,

not that long ago.
Abm
Where we would hide away,

for several months or so.
E
Tucked beneath the pines,

and under summer skies,
    Gb
a bunch of twenty-somethings

running barefoot every night.
        B
And some of us were new,

and some had been for years.
           Abm
And a few of us found joy

and all of us had fears.
        E
But every single night,

we’d gather by the fire,
        Gb
and sing away the night.

Chorus:
                 Abm        E
And oh, when the fire burns out and
       B       Gb
the embers all die,
          Abm          E
we still have all our stories,
     B               Gb
like stars in the sky.
            Abm          E
And we will always remember how we
B              Gb
lit up the night.
             Abm        E
Those summers by the lake,
          B          Gb      Abm E B Gb
like a million twinkling lights…

Verse 2:
              B
And the days were only measured by

the sun’s rise and fall,
             Abm
and we spent our nights out

searching for the meaning of it all.
E
Falling deep in love,

sneaking out at night,
Gb
somehow it just felt right…

Chorus:
                 Abm        E
And oh, when the fire burns out and
       B       Gb
the embers all die,
          Abm          E
we still have all our stories,
     B               Gb
like stars in the sky.
            Abm          E
And we will always remember how we
B              Gb
lit up the night.
             Abm        E
Those summers by the lake,
          B          Gb      Abm E B Gb
like a million twinkling lights…
             Abm E B Gb
Twinkling lights...

Verse 3:
        B
Well I never saw it coming,

but now I’ll always know,
         Abm
that summer is more than freedom,

and love will come and go.
        E
We may not have it now,

but we had it then.
               Gb
We will never be the same,

no matter how it ends.
                B
Because when we’ve all grown old,

living far away.
Abm
On our darkest days,

we will remember Maine.
E
Cuz there’s something about a fire,

and a couple rounds of beer.
                 Gb
And we’d tell em all our dreams,

love for all to hear.

Chorus:
                 Abm        E
And oh, when the fire burns out and
       B       Gb
the embers all die,
          Abm          E
we still have all our stories,
     B               Gb
like stars in the sky.
            Abm          E
And we will always remember how we
B              Gb
lit up the night.
             Abm        E
Those summers by the lake,
          B          Gb      Abm E B Gb
like a million twinkling lights…
             Abm E B Gb
Twinkling lights...
             Abm E B Gb
Twinkling lights...
             Abm E B Gb
Twinkling lights...
             Abm E B Gb B
Twinkling lights...
