C#m C#m 
 
(prefer)  Hands down,
A A 
 
this is the best day I can
E E 
 
Ever remember,
B B 
 
I'll always remember the sound
C#m C#m 
 
A A 
 
Of the stereo, the dim of the soft lights
E E 
 
The scent of your hair
B B 
 
that you twirled in your fingers
C#m C#m 
 
And the time  on the clock
A A 
 
when we realized it's so late
E E 
 
B B 
 
And this walk that we shared together
C#m C#m 
 
The streets were wet,
A A 
 
and the gate was locked
E E 
 
B B 
 
So I jumped it and I let you in
C#m C#m 
 
And you stood at your door
A A 
 
with your hands on my waist
E E 
 
B B 
 
And you kissed me like you meant it
C#m C#m 
 
A A 
 
And I     knew that you meant it
E E 
 
That you meant it
B B 
 
That you meant it
C#m C#m 
 
A A 
 
And I     knew that you meant it
E E 
 
That you meant it
