C                                 Am
I'm so glad that we stayed out tonight
C                                Am
I'm so glad that we stayed out until
                      C Am
the streetlights came on

I'm so glad that we stayed out until
the streetlights
Turned off again and we watched all
the businessmen in coats and ties
File out of filing cabinet houses with
their morning eyes

I'm so glad that we stayed out tonight
I'm so glad we have each other telling
one another it's alright
I'm so glad that I have you telling me
its always been alright
Telling me that I will die one day
And that will be okay

Chorus:
Em                  G              C
And it hurts me to say it just as much
as it hurts you to hear it
     Em           G           C
But darling I assure you that if
I knew the answer
      F
Then you'd receive a letter written
Am
in my finest cursive saying
C              Am
Oh oh oh I am yours
C              Am
Oh oh oh I am yours

I'm so glad you tell me when I'm wrong
I'm so glad that we know all the words
to all of the same songs
I'm so glad that you found a new home
But I hope that you come back
And I hope you don't wait too long

Chorus

And I've been saving unspoken words
For the day I find their definitions
And I broke all of my mirrors
Despite your beliefs in superstitions

Oh, I was lost but now am found
But I can't turn this ship around
Oh, I was lost but now am found
But I can't turn this ship around
