I [Am]don't remember much a[G]bout that time,
Just the [D]smell of the air and your hand in mine.
[Am]   Riding the strip, sittin' [G]on my lap
In the [D]back of the truck with the only friends I had.
It was [Am]spring break, we were [G]out late,
And [D]I though goodness for heavens sake.
When I [C]saw you...
And then I [D]kissed you...

{section: Chorus}
[C]  On a balcony [G]over the sun
In a [D]chair by the rail, high a[Em]bove everyone
[C]  We made love as the [G]waves rolled in
And we [D]owned that town for one weekend.
Like the [C]tan on my skin, our [G]names in the sand
Like the [D]sound of the boat
Starting up, heading out of the [Am]bay
Girl you[C]... faded away.  [Am]      [G]            [D]

I [Am]still taste the shots on your [G]lips that night,
And the [D]smoke from the club still burns my eyes

[Am] Feel of your body takin'[G] off your dress,
Waking [D]up that morning in a tangled mess.
So if [Am]I'da known, I'da [G]held on...
A [D]little bit longer and stronger with nothing to [C]lose,
Cause I still [D]see you...

[C]  On a balcony [G]over the sun
In a [D]chair by the rail, high a[Em]bove everyone
[C]  We made love as the [G]waves rolled in
And we [D]owned that town for one weekend.
Like the [C]tan on my skin, our [G]names in the sand
Like the [D]sound of the boat
Starting up, heading out of the [Am]bay
Girl you[C]... faded away.

[C]  On a balcony [G]over the sun
In a [D]chair by the rail, high a[Em]bove everyone
[C]  I watched you [G]drive through the gate
Without [D]saying the words I needed to say.
Like the [C]tan on my skin, our [G]names in the sand
Like the [D]tears on your face
And the sun going down that [Am]day
Girl you[C]... faded away[Am].   [G]          [D]
You faded away[Am].    [G]           [D]
