G   Em C

            G              C
I packed my car and headed west
     Em    D            G             C      Em     D
With my guitar and some things to get off of my chest
    G          C                    Em       D
And lately the weather can't get me down anymore
       G         C           Em             D
I just close the door and pretend I'm not a mess
   G       C             Em            D
And me and Matt, we just talked in the driveway
 G            C              Em         D
About how everyone just likes to stay inside
    G         C               Em          D
And listen to songs that make them feel nostalgic
    C                            D
But I won't let those dumb songs ruin my night

    G            C              Em      D
And Duncan broke down as it was getting late
        G         C                Em         D
And the night was great, but it can always be better
   G               C               Em        D
We won eight hundred bucks playing dice that day
      G           C          Em         D
And we picked him up down by one-twenty-eight
       G    C           Em         D
And it felt like we talked all night
         G      C         Em         D
And we watched bad movies, but some were alright
      G            C           Em         D
And I felt more at peace than I have in a while

G     D     Em     C

G                                     D
Sometimes I think the best nights are only spent with best friends
Em                                C
Sometimes I'd like to be alone. I guess it gets depressing
G                       D
As these days stack up, as these nights fly by,
Em                C
it's good enough. It's good enough
G                   C      Em      D
We're all passing out for about an hour
G               C              Em          D
To give the world a chance to get its shit together
G        C      Em     D
Hiding out here in the shower
G                 C              Em             D
Cause it's safe and secure and I can't get hurt no more

       G        D         C
And in light of all these dark, dark days
    G            D            C
Sometimes I come down here to give me space
    G            D         C
And when we're together, I feel stronger
       G      D           C
That's why memories can't go away

       G     D     C
And we sat down under that playground 
G         D             C
under the bridge and as I looked up, 
G         D       C
these words, they came together finally
    G         D         C
And I saw the sign that takes me home
         G       D         C
And that parking lot still stands and we laugh
  G       D            C
I can't remember all the crazy nights
            G         D          C
We all the missed the times that made us get here
     G           D        C
It's funny cause I'm not sure we arrived
        G     D        C
And when we fall down, we get back up
     G         D          C
It's what I've learned when I feel alone
        G          D       C
And the songs that made us lose our voices
      G         D       C
Those songs can take us home

G   C   Em   D

          G        C      Em        D
There's a piece of you in every song I sing
G      C          Em                   D
Not to mention my intentions when they get the best of me
          G       C         Em             D             
There's a place I go when I can't find the strength break 
G       C            Em      D
myself away, but I'm getting better every
G             C           Em         G
day, and if I survived, then you can too
