Intro 
G              
And we drink and get older 
C              
And some of us even try to get sober 
G 
Now here's to the assholes and the last calls 
D 
Well, city kids, you get what you ask for 

Bridge 
G                                   
And acquaintances turn to friends, I hope those friends they remember me 
C 
Hold the night for ransom as we kidnap the memories 
G 
Not sure there is a way to express what you meant to me 
D 
Sit around a table and use those years as the centerpiece 

Hook 2x: 
G                  Cadd9     G 
Sounds of the city on Capitol Hill 
C 
Where I question if what I'm seeing here is real 
G                  Cadd9     G 
Cowboy boots doing lines at the bar 
D                                     
Where the time goes slow when you're drinking PBR 

Verses repeat : G C G D 

verse 1 
Hold on to what you were, forget what you're not 
The streets were ours that summer, at least those two blocks 
Reminisce on those days, I guess that's OK, you wonder why 
Some grow up, move on, close the chapter, live separate lives 
The twenty-something confusion before the suit and tie 
Strangers become mistakes but those mistakes made you feel alive 
Hindsight is vibrant, reality: rarely lit 
Memory's a collage pasted to the glue that barely sticks 
Good Lord, they broke all my shields 
Locked bathroom doors, graffiti, and high heels 
Until you felt that altitude you don't know how high feels 
Party mountain, some don't ever come down from around here 
To be young again, I guess it's relative 
The camel lights, the whiskey rye, sink into the skin 
I fantasize about a second win 
Grow a moustache, pick up another bad habit and let the games begin 

Hook 2x 

verse 2 
So here's to the nights, dancing with the band 
Strangers into girlfriends from a one night stand 
Brought a little liquor and turn up the Johnny Cash 
You could bring a receipt to Heaven but you cannot take it back 
And this is life, this is real, even when it feels like it isn't 
I'd be a goddamn liar to say at times I didn't miss it 
So deuces, I turn my back as I walk into the distance 
Dip my feet in every once in a while, just to say I visit 
Come and hold onto these nights 
Trying to find our way home by the street light 
Over time you figure out this is me, right 
Learn a lot about your friends right around two A.M
