[Verse 1]
Fm D#
Oh, we met on a summer night
C# G# D#/G
On a park bench in my hometown on the 4th of July
Fm D#
I played you that '73 Springsteen song
C# G# D#/G
I'd been staring at the stars with my lonely angel all night long
Fm D#
And you played these six strings like they were part of my soul
C# G# D#/G
On from then it was all about guitars and getting stoned
Fm D#
We watched those church bell blues go up in smoke
C# G# D#/G
Just rolling along when the good times rolled
[Chorus]
Fm D# C# G# D#/G
We were gonna meet in that town by the sea
Fm D# C# G# D#/G
There was a promise of salvation, its echoes reaching out into our dreams
C# D#
There was wine on our lips and there was smoke on our breath
Fm D#/G C#/G#
Brought down my guards just to let you in
C# D#
We were like lovers in those songs, who'd have thought that's what we'd become
Fm D#/G C#/G#
When we had dreams and songs to sing
G# D#/G C#/G#
we had everything
[Verse 2]
Fm D#
The night sky became a solitude
C# G# D#/G
As I watched the beat of those big engines side by side with you
Fm D#
You told me some of your stories and I told you some of mine
C# G# D#/G
And I found that harmony somewhere in your longing eyes
Fm D#
Countless cups of coffee, countless cigarettes
C# G# D#/G
Countless days and nights and smiles I swore not to forget
Fm D#
Countless times we fucked the law and then fucked some more
C# G# D#/G
Countless times I cursed the distance to the one to come back for
[Chorus]
Fm D# C# G# D#/G
We were gonna meet in that town by the sea
Fm D# C# G# D#/G
There was a promise of salvation, its echoes reaching out into our dreams
C# D#
There was whiskey on our lips and there was smoke on our breath
Fm D#/G C#/G#
Brought down my guards just to let you in
C# D#
We were like lovers in those songs, so sure that that's what we'd become
Fm D#/G C#/G#
When we had dreams and songs to sing
G# D#/G C#/G#
we had everything

[Verse 3]
Fm D#
You held me close on New Year's Eve
C# G# D#/G
Those shooting stars granted me my wish for you to save me
Fm D#
You kept my head spinning and you made my heart sing
C# G# D#/G
Singing 'Hey there, lonely angel, where have you been?'
Fm D#
I took you to that bar where my lost harmonies roam
C# G# D#/G
And I played you all these songs so I wouldn't have to spend the night alone
Fm D#
Come morning the winter air was filled with snow
C# G# D#/G
Kissed you a thousand times goodbye and still it broke my heart to go
[Chorus]
Fm D# C# G# D#/G
We were gonna meet in that town by the sea
Fm D# C# G# D#/G
There was a promise of salvation, its echoes reaching out into our dreams
C# D#
There was smoke on our lips and we were out of breath
Fm D#/G C#/G#
Brought down my guards just to let you in
C# D#
We were like lovers in those songs, but that was all we would become
Fm D#/G C#/G#
When we had dreams and songs to sing
G# D#/G C#/G#
Once we had everything
