All the nights we stayed up talking

and listening to 80's songs;

         D                                 F#m
quoting lines from all those movies that we love.

It still brings a smile to my face.

I guess when it comes down to it...

and eventually you'll finally get it right.

and wreaking havoc on our world.

illuminate the blackest nights.

Cherry cokes under this moonlight summer sky.
