VERSE 1:
 
G       Dsus4     Em7         Dsus4          Cadd9   Dsus4 
We laid under the stars, fell asleep in your backyard 
                   G                   Dsus4 
You said you could fly but you'd never need to 
            Cadd9                  Dsus4 
'Cause with us you never tried too hard, and you never will 
Cadd9    G         Em7      Dsus4 
On a lonely night, you will see 
Em7           Cadd9        Dsus4 
You're everything to me (You've got anything) 
 
 
Cadd9    G        Em7     Dsus4 
On a lonely night oh, the truth is 
Em7   Dsus4    Cadd9     Dsus4 
Every night is lonely without you, 
Em7   Dsus4    Cadd9     Dsus4       G 
Every night is lonely without you here 
 
 
VERSE 2:
 
We are older now 
And you came back to Ohio 
You whispered something to me 
I haven't heard in a while 
I wish I could lie 
And just tell you I'm fine 
You wouldn't believe me if you tried 
If I listen to our song 
I'll be up all night 
 
 
Cadd9    G        Em7     Dsus4 
On a lonely night oh, the truth is 
Em7   Dsus4    Cadd9     Dsus4 
Every night is lonely without you, 
Em7   Dsus4    Cadd9     Dsus4       G 
Every night is lonely without you here 
 
 
BRIDGE:
 
Am        D 
It's been forever 
    G      D         Em7 
But lately it's been hard 
             Am                 D 
Like when we took your parents' car 
          G       D      Em 
And drove forever in the dark 
C 
I'd give it all away if I could 
D                             G  Cadd9 Dsus4 
See you once again and have a summer love 
C       Em              D 
Growing close and never grow up 
 
 
Cadd9    G        Em7     Dsus4 
On a lonely night oh, the truth is 
Em7   Dsus4    Cadd9     Dsus4 
Every night is lonely without you, 
Em7   Dsus4    Cadd9     Dsus4       G 
Every night is lonely without you here 
 
    Em7   Dsus4       Em7        Dsus4   G 
And every guy will be lonely without you there.
