D              Bm                G This night is wild, so calm and dull
                  A         C    D         These hearts they race from self control
D              Bm                    G           Your legs are smooth, as they graze mine
            A (pause)We're doing fine, we're doing nothing at all

D                                  Bm Safe and near from all the stupid questions
             G                       A       C“Hey did you get some?” Man, that is so dumb
D                 Bm                          G (pause) Stay quiet, stay near, stay close they can't hear

Bridge/Outro:

Bm                       G   Hands down this is the best day
      D   I can ever remember
AAlways remember
    Bm                        G    the sound of your stereo, the dim of the soft lights,
    D                            Athe scent of your hair, that you twirl in your fingers
        Bm         (pause)            G  And the time on the clock, when we realized it's so late
         D                      Aand this walk that we shared, together
    Bm                       GThe streets were wet and the gate was locked
     D                ASo I jumped it, and I let you in
        Bm                           GAnd you stood at your door with your hands on my waist
        D                  Aand you kissed me like you meant it 
      Bm             GAnd I knew, that you meant it,
         D                  Athat you meant it, that you meant it 
      Bm             GAnd I knew, that you meant it,
         D (hold)that you meant it
