Intro
D#m C# B F# C#/F x3
[Verse 1]
D#m C#
Oh, we met on a summer night
B F# C#/F
On a park bench in my hometown on the 4th of July
D#m C#
I played you that '73 Springsteen song
B F# C#/F
I'd been staring at the stars with my lonely angel all night long
D#m C#
And you played these six strings like they were part of my soul
B F# C#/F
On from then it was all about guitars and getting stoned
D#m C#
We watched those church bell blues go up in smoke
B F# C#/F
Just rolling along when the good times rolled
[Chorus]
D#m C# B F# C#/F
We were gonna meet in that town by the sea
D#m C# B F# C#/F
There was a promise of salvation, its echoes reaching out into our dreams
B C#
There was wine on our lips and there was smoke on our breath
D#m C#/F B/F#
Brought down my guards just to let you in
B C#
We were like lovers in those songs, who'd have thought that's what we'd become
D#m C#/F B/F#
When we had dreams and songs to sing
F# C#/F B/F#
we had everything
[Verse 2]
D#m C#
The night sky became a solitude
B F# C#/F
As I watched the beat of those big engines side by side with you
D#m C#
You told me some of your stories and I told you some of mine
B F# C#/F
And I found that harmony somewhere in your longing eyes
D#m C#
Countless cups of coffee, countless cigarettes
B F# C#/F
Countless days and nights and smiles I swore not to forget
D#m C#
Countless times we fucked the law and then fucked some more
B F# C#/F
Countless times I cursed the distance to the one to come back for
[Chorus]
D#m C# B F# C#/F
We were gonna meet in that town by the sea
D#m C# B F# C#/F
There was a promise of salvation, its echoes reaching out into our dreams
B C#
There was whiskey on our lips and there was smoke on our breath
D#m C#/F B/F#
Brought down my guards just to let you in
B C#
We were like lovers in those songs, so sure that that's what we'd become
D#m C#/F B/F#
When we had dreams and songs to sing
F# C#/F B/F#
we had everything

D#m C# B F# C#/F x4
[Verse 3]
D#m C#
You held me close on New Year's Eve
B F# C#/F
Those shooting stars granted me my wish for you to save me
D#m C#
You kept my head spinning and you made my heart sing
B F# C#/F
Singing 'Hey there, lonely angel, where have you been?'
D#m C#
I took you to that bar where my lost harmonies roam
B F# C#/F
And I played you all these songs so I wouldn't have to spend the night alone
D#m C#
Come morning the winter air was filled with snow
B F# C#/F
Kissed you a thousand times goodbye and still it broke my heart to go
[Chorus]
D#m C# B F# C#/F
We were gonna meet in that town by the sea
D#m C# B F# C#/F
There was a promise of salvation, its echoes reaching out into our dreams
B C#
There was smoke on our lips and we were out of breath
D#m C#/F B/F#
Brought down my guards just to let you in
B C#
We were like lovers in those songs, but that was all we would become
D#m C#/F B/F#
When we had dreams and songs to sing
F# C#/F B/F#
Once we had everything
