[Verse 1]
  Am
I wait for you
              Csus2
Lying on your side
Am
Tell me the truth
      Csus2                   Am   Csus2
It's okay it'll be alright, alright
         Am
That New Orleans night
             Csus2
You told me everything
      Am
But I said I stayed
      Csus2
And I only say what I mean


[Pre-Chorus]
G
Called you on the phone from the city tonight
F                                              Em
Called you on the phone just to tell you that I won't
  Dm
I won't give up on you


[Chorus]
C                    Am7
Carolina, I want you close
Fadd9                                               C    G
I've been waiting for you, I've been waiting up all night
C                      Am7
Carolina, we're losing time
Fadd9                                               C  G
I just gotta tell you the first love never says goodbye


[Instrumental]
| Am     | Csus2  |


[Verse 2]
    Am
You hurt the most
                     Csus2
The ones we most let in
          Am
If I knew every future sorrow
           Csus2
That you'd brеak my heart again


[Pre-Chorus]
G
Called you on the phonе from the city tonight
F
Called you on the phone from the city tonight
