         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
