Am G
I don’t remember much about that time,
D
Just the smell of the air and your hand in mine.
Am G
Riding the strip, sittin’ on my lap
D
In the back of the truck with the only friends I had.
Am G
It was spring break, we were out late,
D
And I though goodness for heavens sake.
C
When I saw you…
D
And then I kissed you…
Chorus:
C G
On a balcony over the sun
D Em
In a chair by the rail, high above everyone
C G
We made love as the waves rolled in
D
And we owned that town for one weekend.
C G
Like the tan on my skin, our names in the sand
D
Like the sound of the boat
Am
Starting up, heading out of the bay
C Am G D
Girl you… faded away.
Am G
I still taste the shots on your lips that night,
D
And the smoke from the club still burns my eyes
Am G
Feel of your body takin’ off your dress,
D
Waking up that morning in a tangled mess.
Am G
So if I’da known, I’da held on…
D C
A little bit longer and stronger with nothing to lose,
D
Cause I still see you…
C G
On a balcony over the sun
D Em
In a chair by the rail, high above everyone
C G
We made love as the waves rolled in
D
And we owned that town for one weekend.
C G
Like the tan on my skin, our names in the sand
D
Like the sound of the boat
Am
Starting up, heading out of the bay
C
Girl you… faded away.

C G
On a balcony over the sun
D Em
In a chair by the rail, high above everyone
C G
I watched you drive through the gate
D
Without saying the words I needed to say.
C G
Like the tan on my skin, our names in the sand
D
Like the tears on your face
Am
And the sun going down that day
C Am G D
Girl you… faded away.
Am G D
You faded away.
