[Intro]
D

[Verse I]
D
Way before I grew up, baby I mean last year
G
Funny how a good summer flies into a fast year
D
We were in the low down, we were in the deep cut
G
Runnin’ from wildfires, burnin’ all the trees up

F#m
You know that I got regrets, but I burn them down like cigarettes
G
Because something’s out of place, something’s out of place
F#m
I wish we could just reset, can we pick up back to where we left?
G
Can we put the pieces back together, now?

[Chorus]
D
Back in the summer, when we were lovers
G
And we had real big dreams in our heads
D
We were together, called it forever
G
Even though all good times have an end
Wish that I could go back again
D G

[Verse II]
D
We were watchin’ reruns, listenin’ to Coldplay
G
Singin’ out “Yellow”, never farther from a cold day (never farther from a cold day)
D
Cereal for breakfast, sippin’ on refreshments
G
Even though I’m drivin’ slow, I always miss the exit

[Pre-chorus]
F#m
You know that I got regrets, but I burn them down like cigarettes
G
Because something’s out of place, something’s out of place
F#m
I wish we could just reset, can we pick up back to where we left?
G
Can we put the pieces back together, now?

[Chorus]
D
Back in the summer, when we were lovers
G
And we had real big dreams in our heads
D
We were together, called it forever
G
Even though all good times have an end
F#m
Wish that I could go back again
G
Wish that I could go back again
F#m
Wish that I could go back again
G
Wish that I could go back again

[Outro]
Bm Em
Oh-oh-oh, oh
G
Oh-oh-oh, oh
D
Oh-oh-oh, oh
