 D         A
Said some things I ain't proud of

 I wish I could take back

So when it's late at night and

When you hear somebody

VERSE:
 D       A
Picture that night in Portland
E               F#m
We drank three bottles of wine
D         A
I said I love you
          E       A
about a million times
 D           A
And then we drove to Seattle
E           F#m
And Just to kiss in the rain
 D        A
Now when it's pouring
        E      A
do you see my face

BREAK:
 D                       A
Think of the way that I started to
              E
shake when I held you
              F#m
for the first time
     D                   A
And every kiss that our lips made
           E                    F#m
feel like New Year's Eve at midnight
 D              A
Think of the 3 AM conversations,
 E                    F#m
all of the big dreams that
                 D
we were chasing down
    A                     E
And if I ever cross your mind somehow

CHORUS:
           D       A
When it's late at night
                  E     F#m
and you're still wide awake
           D         A
If you're with your friends
           E
or you're lonely
          D        A
When you hear somebody
          E      F#m
start to say my name
             D       A
Oh when you think of me
            E          A
I hope you think good things
