Verse 1:
Gm7                                    Eb
 Meeting up like we’re seventeen again
                                     Bb
Solo cups but now we put beer in 'em
                            F
Laying back and daring me to
                      Gm7
Dive into the deep end
                                      Eb
Reaching out, how you been holding up
                                        Bb
'Cause I heard you’d recently broken up
                                 F
With the boy you grew apart from
                            Gm7
So much for your first love

Pre-chorus:
                             Eb
And we laugh like little kids
                            Bb
Bad jokes for the hell of it
                                        (nc)
Mom says "Come inside," we say "In a minute"

Chorus:
But I wish that I could
Gm7              Eb
Close my eyes, ignore the sirens
Bb                  F
Watch the sun leave the horizon
Gm7           Eb
We won’t go unless we’re dying
    Bb                                   F
But we both know that time was never kind
    Cm
And you know in July
                   Eb
Those summer nights belong to you and I

Verse 2:
(nc)
Moving out and counting the miles
    Eb                                           Bb
This little town takes all of your breath with it

Fatal flaw I’m sick of it all
    F
But now that I’m leaving
               Eb
I'm missing all the late nights in
            Gm7
Let our deepest secrets slip
        Bb                               F
Holding tight, this was nice, wasn’t it?

Chorus:
      (nc)
But I wish I could
Gm7              Eb
Close my eyes, ignore the sirens
Bb                  F
Watch the sun leave the horizon
Gm7           Eb
We won’t go unless we’re dying
    Bb                                   F
But we both know that time was never kind
    Cm
And you know in July
                   Eb
Those summer nights belong to you and I

Bridge:
Gm7                     Eb
 Hold on a little longer
                                  Bb
You’re slipping through my fingers
                           F
The tide will pull us under
                              Gm7
What’s left of you will linger
Gm7                     Eb
 Hold on a little longer
                                  Bb
You’re slipping through my fingers
                           F
The tide will pull us under

What’s left of you will linger (but I wish that I could)

Chorus:
Gm7              Eb
Close my eyes, ignore the sirens
Bb                  F
Watch the sun leave the horizon
Gm7           Eb
We won’t go unless we’re dying
    Bb                                   F
But we both know that time was never kind
    Cm
And you know in July
                   Eb
Those summer nights belong to you and I
