Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 I don't remember much about that time,

 Just the smell of the air and your hand in mine.

Riding the strip, sittin' on my lap

 In the back of the truck with the only friends I had.

 It was spring break, we were out late,

 And I though goodness for heavens sake.

 When I saw you...

 And then I kissed you...

Chorus

On a balcony over the sun

 In a chair by the rail, high above everyone

We made love as the waves rolled in

 And we owned that town for one weekend.

 Like the tan on my skin, our names in the sand

 Like the sound of the boat

 Starting up, heading out of the bay

 Girl you... faded away.

 I still taste the shots on your lips that night,

 And the smoke from the club still burns my eyes

Feel of your body takin' off your dress,

 Waking up that morning in a tangled mess.

 So if I'da known, I'da held on...

 A little bit longer and stronger with nothing to lose,

 Cause I still see you...

On a balcony over the sun

 In a chair by the rail, high above everyone

We made love as the waves rolled in

 And we owned that town for one weekend.

 Like the tan on my skin, our names in the sand

 Like the sound of the boat

 Starting up, heading out of the bay

 Girl you... faded away.

Solo

On a balcony over the sun

 In a chair by the rail, high above everyone

I watched you drive through the gate

 Without saying the words I needed to say.

 Like the tan on my skin, our names in the sand

 Like the tears on your face

 And the sun going down that day

 Girl you... faded away.

 You faded away.
