C                       Am
Not gonna say I've been okay
              Em      F
Haven't been okay without you
 C                         Am
Sorry, it's late, are you awake?
                  Em            F
It's been eighty-seven days without you

       C               Am              Em   F
Those weekends on the lake on top each other
  C               Am                   Em   F
Freckles on your face from spring and summer

Chorus:
                C  Am
Going way, way back
         Em  F
Way, way back
                C  Am
Going way, way back
         Em   F
Way, way back

Getting real drunk off of stale wine
Hoping I'll erase your face off my pillow
I've said a lot, maybe too much
You know how I fuck it up

Those weekends at the beach made me feel ugly
But now all I can see is how you loved me

Chorus

F                  C
Won't you take me back
           Am                Em
To summer '09 and slow dance fights?
                      F   C
I just wanna make it right
                     Am             Em
It was love at first sight, Jesus Christ
                        F
I could have been your wife

C                             Am
We've been making some memories
                   Em
with a lot of regret
                   F                        C
Not a storybook ending, but I'm fine with that
                        Am               Em
We've got so many reasons to push it away
                     F
Can we go back to zero? Can we go back?

C           Am
Back, back, back, back
Em           F
Back, back, back, back
C           Am
Back, back, back, back
Em           F
Back, back, back, back

Chorus:
Won't you take me back?
Back, back, back, back
Back, back, back, back
Won't you take me back?
Back, back, back, back
Back, back, back, back
