DNow (xx0232@1)the nights turn colder
AYour (x02220@1)head's on my shoulder
Em (022000@1)                         GWe (320003@1)do our best to pretend 
DWaves (xx0232@1)get louder

D (xx0232@1)                          A (x02220@1) 
We drew hearts there, in the sand
                              EmLaughed (022000@1)when waves erased our plans
                     GThough (320003@1)we never knew they told the truth
D (xx0232@1)                           AI (x02220@1)can still hear our laughing friends
                          EmAs (022000@1)we sneak off again and again

No we never cared
    GToo (320003@1)young to be scared
