G   Em C 

            G              C 
I packed my car and headed west 
     Em    D            G             C      Em     D 
With my guitar and some things to get off of my chest 
    G          C                    Em       D 
And lately the weather can't get me down anymore 
       G         C           Em             D 
I just close the door and pretend I'm not a mess 
   G       C             Em            D 
And me and Matt, we just talked in the driveway 
 G            C              Em         D 
About how everyone just likes to stay inside 
    G         C               Em          D 
And listen to songs that make them feel nostalgic 
    C                            D 
But I won't let those dumb songs ruin my night 

    G            C              Em      D 
And Duncan broke down as it was getting late 
        G         C                Em         D 
And the night was great, but it can always be better 
   G               C               Em        D 
We won eight hundred bucks playing dice that day 
      G           C          Em         D 
And we picked him up down by one-twenty-eight 
       G    C           Em         D 
And it felt like we talked all night 
         G      C         Em         D 
And we watched bad movies, but some were alright 
      G            C           Em         D 
And I felt more at peace than I have in a while 

G     D     Em     C 

G                                     D 
Sometimes I think the best nights are only spent with best friends 
Em                                C 
Sometimes I'd like to be alone. I guess it gets depressing 
G                       D 
As these days stack up, as these nights fly by, 
Em                C 
it's good enough. It's good enough 
G                   C      Em      D 
We're all passing out for about an hour 
G               C              Em          D 
To give the world a chance to get its shit together 
G        C      Em     D 
Hiding out here in the shower 
G                 C              Em             D 
Cause it's safe and secure and I can't get hurt no more 

       G        D         C 
And in light of all these dark, dark days 
    G            D            C 
Sometimes I come down here to give me space 
    G            D         C 
And when we're together, I feel stronger 
       G      D           C 
That's why memories can't go away 

       G     D     C 
And we sat down under that playground  
G         D             C 
under the bridge and as I looked up,  
G         D       C 
these words, they came together finally 
    G         D         C 
And I saw the sign that takes me home 
         G       D         C 
And that parking lot still stands and we laugh 
  G       D            C 
I can't remember all the crazy nights 
            G         D          C 
We all the missed the times that made us get here 
     G           D        C 
It's funny cause I'm not sure we arrived 
        G     D        C 
And when we fall down, we get back up 
     G         D          C 
It's what I've learned when I feel alone 
        G          D       C 
And the songs that made us lose our voices 
      G         D       C 
Those songs can take us home 

G   C   Em   D 

          G        C      Em        D 
There's a piece of you in every song I sing 
G      C          Em                   D 
Not to mention my intentions when they get the best of me 
          G       C         Em             D              
There's a place I go when I can't find the strength break  
G       C            Em      D 
myself away, but I'm getting better every 
G             C           Em         G 
day, and if I survived, then you can too
