[Intro]
D# G#

[Verse 1]
D# D#
Hold back my tears
G#
I don’t wanna say goodbye
G#
Goodbye
D# D#
Hate that you’re here
G#
I see the pain in your eyes
G#
In your eyes
D#
You’d tell me to go, say I’ll be fine
D#
Know that you’re lying but keep it inside
G#
Wish I could change this, turn back the time
G#
And all of your hurting, make it all mine
D#
Return the love once gave to me
D#
I’ll be the person you raise me to be
G#
No matter what happens, I’ll be there with you
G#
If I had the choice, I’d

[Chorus]
D#
I’d take you back to Daytona
D# G#
Daytona, where the sun always shines
G#
Always shines
D#
I’d take you back to Daytona
D# G#
Daytona, to live out the rest of your life
G#
No more goodbyes
D#
‘Cause one day I’ll be by your side

D# G#

[Verse 2]
D# D# G#
Fighting hiding when you don’t remember my name
G#
That you gave me
D# D#
Trying, declining
G#
No matter what, I’ll always feel the same
G#
Always feel the same
D#
When you no longer speak and know who I am
D#
Tell you I love you and I know you can
G#
Push off emotions, I’ll be strong for you
G#
The way that you were growing up in my youth
D#
Give back the time you gave up for me
D#
Tell you the memories I’ll forever keep
G#
‘Til one day I lay in this bed that you sleep
G# G#
Pray my future children do the same for me

[Chorus]
D#
I’m going back to Daytona
D# G#
Daytona, where the sun always shines
G#
Always shines
D#
I’m going back to Daytona
D# G#
Daytona, to live out the rest of my life
G#
No more goodbyes
D#
‘Cause I’ll always be by your side
