intro :
C#m B E/G# A x2

verse 1 :
C#m B E/G# A
oh how i’ve tried to get you out of my head
C#m B E/G# A
and i lied with broken words i said
C#m B E/G# A
never thought i’d walk on this street again
C#m B E/G# A
standing where it all began

pre – chorus :
A
tried to forget when i left this town
B
well it takes me right back when i come back around

chorus :
E
retrace the steps we took on that lost summer night
B
i’m back there by your side
C#m
retrace the steps we took when we met
A E
worlds away counting backwards while the stars are falling

verse 2 :
C#m B E/G# A
oh now i find every subtle thing screams your name
C#m B E/G# A
it reminds me of places and times we shared
C#m B E/G# A
couldn’t live locked in these memories
C#m B E/G# A
now i’m chained to my thoughts again

pre – chorus :
A
and i tried to forget when i left this town
B
but i’ll take you right back if you come back around

chorus :
E
retrace the steps we took on that lost summer night
B
i’m back there by your side
C#m
retrace the steps we took when we met worlds away
A E
counting backwards while the stars are falling

bridge : ( part 1 )
C#m A
i need some shelter i need some safety
B
photographs they haunt me lately
C#m A
chasing shadows as the evening takes me
B
i’m still searching but the picture’s fading

interlude :
C#m A B x2

chorus :
E
retrace the steps we took on that lost summer night
B
i’m back there by your side
C#m
retrace the steps we took when we met worlds away
A
counting backwards , still counting backwards

bridge : ( part 2 )
E
and nowhere else has ever felt like home
B
and i can’t fall asleep when i’m lying here alone
C#m
i replay your voice , it’s like you’re here
A
you move the earth but now the sky is falling

chorus :
E
retrace the steps we took on that lost summer night
B
in my mind i’m back by your side
C#m
retrace the steps we took when we met worlds away
A E
counting backwards while the stars are falling
