[Verse 1]
E F#m D
There's a place off Ocean Avenue
E
Where I used to sit and talk with you
F#m D
We were both 16 and it felt so right
E F#m D
Sleeping all day, staying up all ni-iiiight
E F#m D
Staying up all ni-iiight
[Chorus]
E F#m D
There's a place on the corner of Cherry Street
E
We would walk on the beach in our bare feet
F#m D
We were both 18 and it felt so right
E F#m D
Sleeping all day, staying up all ni-iiight
E F#m D
Staying up all ni-iight
E F#m
If I could find you now
D
Things would get better
E F#m
We could leave this town
D
And run forever
E F#m
I know some where, some how
D
We'll be together
E F#m
Let your waves crash down on me
D
And take me away, yeah-i-yeah-ehyeah
[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1)
Theres a piece of you that's here with me
Its everywhere I go
It's everything I see
When I sleep
I dream and it gets me by
I can make believe that you're here tonight
That you're here tonight
[Chorus]
(same chords)
If I could find you now
Things would get better
We could leave this town
And run forever
I know some where, some how
We'll be together
Let your waves crash down on me
And take me away, yeah-i-yeah-ehyeah

We look up at the same night sky
F#m
We keep pretending the sun will not rise
E
We'll be together for one more night

Some where
A
Some how
[Chorus]

If I could find you now
Things would get better
We would leave this town
And run forever

Let your waves crash down on me
And take me away, yea
