G#                         D#/G
Friday night beneath the stars
                        C#
In a field behind your yard
                      A#m               D#
You and I are painting pictures in the sky

And sometimes we don't say a thing
Just listen to the crickets sing
Everything I need is right here by my side

    C#           Fm
And I know everything about you
A#m            D#
I don't wanna live without you

Chorus:
    G#
I'm only up when you're not down
       D#                                A#m
Don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground
      C#     G#      C#    D#
It's like no matter what I do
G#
Well you drive me crazy half the time
    D#
The other half I'm only trying to
 Fm       C#        G#    C#       D#
Let you know that what I feel is true
        C#           D#        G# D# A#m C#
And I'm only me when I'm with you

Just a small town boy and girl
Living in a crazy world
Tryna figure out what is and isn't true

And I don't try to hide my tears
My secrets or my deepest fears
Through it all nobody gets me like you do

And you know everything about me
You say that you can't live without me

Chorus

Fm
When I'm with anybody else
C#                    A#m
It's so hard to be myself
              C#
And only you can tell

Chorus:
That I'm only up when you're not down
Don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground
It's like no matter what I do
Well you drive me crazy half the time
The other half I'm only tryna
let you know that what I feel is true
And I'm only me
Who I wanna be
Well, I'm only me when I'm with you
With you
