[Intro]
G

[Verse 1]
A
I still miss you, am I allowed to say?
C#m
I just second guess you, spend the night in Monterrey,
D
Is what i gave you not enough? I don’t need that other stuff,
E
Maybe it’s just not for me to underastand
A
Burn the midnight, all out with our friends*
C#m
It doesn’t help it, I’ll go pay em with a dance*
D
Like a roaming vagabond, in my hometown and beyond,
E
I dont know what corner you’re gonna be around

[Chorus]
F#m E D
Where are you now?
F#m E D
Is your brother still the man?
A C#m
Drowning in your love, cause you’re taking me above,
F#m E
And I know it’s not allowed, hanging off your cloud
A C#m
The city never sleeps, we’re going in too deep,
F#m E
And I know it’s not allowed, hanging off your cloud

[Verse 2]
A
You still phone me, knowing I wont be asleep,
C#m
But cause you know me, you know I’ll struggle when I see
D
You made me go LED*, and you know I guarantee,
E
If I answer no good is gonna come of it
A
Are you thinking, if things hadn’t gone this way,
C#m
Would we grow older, and we’d each get lead astray,
D
Like when we were 17, and your daddy wasn’t keen,
E
I’d spend three nights a week wondering what we’re gonna be

[Bridge]
A C#m D E

[Outro]
A C#m D E
