[Intro]
C Dm A# A#


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


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


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

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


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


[Bridge]
F F  

  Dm  C  A# F                                   Dm
I remember that look in your eyes
                                   C
When I told you this was good bye

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

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


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