D/A     D       D/C#  Bm7+(11)    
    Tonight, we are    young     
                 A4        G6     
So let's set the world on fire     
  G         G7+                 A4  A     
We can burn brighter A Than the sun     

     
      
Verse 1:     

D     
Give me a second     
                       D/C#    
I need to get my story straight     
     Bm7+(11)     
My friends are in the bathroom,     
                                A4    
Getting higher than the Empire State.     
    G6                         G    
My lover, she is waiting for me     
G7+    
Just across the bar     
               A4      
My seats been taken by some sunglasses     
                A     
Asking about a scar and,    
     



verse 2:    

D                                  D/C#    
I know I gave it to you months ago     
Bm7+(11)                          
I know you're trying to forget     
A4       G6                          G    
But between the drinks and subtle things     
     G7+                               
The holes in my apologies, you know     
A4                                 
I'm trying hard to take it back     


Pre-Chorus:     

                  
A             Em7          D/F#    
So if by the time The bar closes              
        Bm7+(11)      A4        G7+     
And you feel     like falling down     
       Em       A4     
I'll carry you home...

D                                      D/C#    
Now I know that I'm not All that you got     
Bm7+(11)     
I guess that I  I just thought     
                                A4      G6                              
Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart     
G                       G7+    
But our friends are back So let's raise a toast     
A4                                 A     
Cause I found someone to carry me home
