VERSE 1:
Here’s to the twilight
Here’s to the memories
These are my souvenirs
My mental pictures of everything
VERSE 2:
Here’s to the late nights
Here’s to the firelight
These are my souvenirs
My souvenirs
CHORUS 1: (The chords are right, but I haven’t tabbed this yet)
I close my eyes and go back in time
I can see you smiling, so alive
We were so young
We had no fear
We were so young
We had no idea that life was just happening
Life was just happening
VERSE 3:
Here’s to your bright eyes
Shining like fireflies
These are my souvenirs
The memory of a lifetime
PRECHORUS: (play RIFF)
We were wide-eyed with everything
Everything around us
We were enlightened by everything
Everything
CHORUS 2:
So I close my eyes and go back in time
I can see you smiling, so alive
I close my eyes and go back in time
You were just a child and so was I
We were so young
We had no fear
We were so young
We had no idea
BRIDGE 1:
That nothing lasts forever
Nothing lasts forever
Nothing lasts, nothing last
You and me together
Were always now or never
BRIDGE 2:
G (let ring)
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
INTERLUDE:
CHORUS 3:
I close my eyes and go back in time
I can see you smiling, you’re so alive
I close my eyes and go back in time
You were wide-eyed
You were wide-eyed
We were so young
We had no fear
We were so young
We had just begun
A song we knew but had never sung
It burned like fire inside our lungs
Life was just happening (Nothing lasts, nothing lasts forever)
Life was just happening (Nothing lasts, nothing lasts forever)
OUTRO:
G-RIFF
I wouldn’t trade it for anything
