A# D# Gm We were sun-burned and shoeless kids F A# It was the dead of July D# Gm F A# We were skippin' stones in the failing light D# Gm I smelled the fire place F A# Although we were miles away D# Gm We were infinite F There was no time in those days Chorus: F D# When all we knew wasn't stolen A# F There was nothing real to lose D# When our heads were still simple A# F We'd sleep beneath the moon You were something D# A# F That would always be around D# A# When regrets were nowhere to be found Lost out among the trees Our hands scraped the bark You still had bloody knees From your spill in the dark We were both laughing then While carving bad words in the wood We had no need to speak Chorus: Night, down by the shore We were down by the shore When the skies opened up And all the stars fell into the lake When the water was warm Walked in over my head But you pulled me out by the collar of my shirt Dirt in our ears, sun in our eyes Shirts hung in rags, head in the clouds Our fears had no teeth, hearts were still blind You barely talked and I didn't mind You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#  D#  F  Gm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
