              C                     F 
I can still taste you like it was yesterday 
Am                              G 
Making plans to rule the world, you were more than I deserve 
C                          F 
I see you running in sand, long hair blowing in the wind 
Am                          G 
Never thought that it would end 
 
 
Am          G    Em          Am 
Leaves fall from the tallest trees 
Am   G         Em               Am 
Even mountains crumble into the sea 
Am      G  Em      Am 
Holding on to memories 
Am    G         F 
And I can't let go 
 
 
C                                    F 
I wanna get back to where we started to the summer night 
Am                                     G 
You know, you know, you know, you know we got it right 
     C                          F 
Yeah get back to San Francisco, in the fire light 
Am                                     G 
You know, you know, you know, you know we had it right 
 
 
C                          F  
Remember that weekend when we got out of town? 
Am                   G 
Drove into infinity, held you 'til you fell asleep 
C            F 
Without you, the smell of your perfume 
Am                               G 
Reminds me of when we were free, I swear that it's still haunting me 
 
 
Am          G    Em          Am 
Leaves fall from the tallest trees 
Am   G         Em               Am 
Even mountains crumble into the sea 
Am      G  Em      Am 
Holding on to memories 
Am    G         F 
And I can't let go 
 
 
 
C                                    F 
I wanna get back to where we started to the summer night 
Am                                     G 
You know, you know, you know, you know we got it right 
     C                          F 
Yeah get back to San Francisco, in the fire light 
Am                                     G 
You know, you know, you know, you know we had it right 
 
 
C                            G 
We don't gotta say anything, don't gotta say anything 
Am                       F 
Don't say a word at all, don't say a word at all 
C                            G 
We don't gotta say anything, don't gotta say anything 
Am                       F 
Don't say a word at all, don't say a word at all 
C                                    F 
I wanna get back to where we started to the summer night 
Am                                     G 
You know, you know, you know, you know we got it right

I wanna get back to where we started to the summer night 
Am                                     G 
You know, you know, you know, you know we got it right 
     C                          F 
Yeah get back to San Francisco, in the fire light 
Am                                     G 
You know, you know, you know, you know we had it right 
 
 
C                            G 
We don't gotta say anything, don't gotta say anything 
Am                       F 
Don't say a word at all, don't say a word at all 
C                            G 
We don't gotta say anything, don't gotta say anything 
Am                       F 
Don't say a word at all, don't say a word at all
