Verse 1
A A 
 
Sunlight comes creeping in
Illuminates our skin
C#m C#m 
 
We watch the day go by
Stories of all we did
D D 
 
It made me think of you
A A 
 
It made me think of you

Verse 2
A A 
 
Under a trillion stars
We danced on top of cars
C#m C#m 
 
Took pictures of the stage
So far from where we are
D D 
 
They made me think of you
A A 
 
They made me think of you

I just wanna be by       your side

If these wings could fly

For the rest of our lives

Verse 3
A A 
 
I'm in a foreign state
My thoughts they slip away
C#m C#m 
 
My words are leaving me
They caught an aeroplane

Because I thought of you
A A 
 
Just from the thought of you

We'd remember tonight
