(C#m)The night about to end,
(G) I pass my time with strangers,
but this(D)bottle's my only friend.

(C#m)On Butler Street out in the dark,
(G) Remember when we lost the keys
and(D)you lost more than that in my backseat. Believe it.
(A) Remember when we used to talk
about(C#m)busting out - we'd break their hearts
To(G)geth(D/F#)er – for(G)ev(D/F#)er.

with a(G)six pack and the radio,
we(D)didn't need no place to go.
(A)Remember at the prom that night,
(C#m)you and me we had a fight,
but the(G)band they played our favorite song
and(D)I held you in my arms so strong.
We(A)danced so close,
we danced so slow,
and I swore(C#m)I'd never let you go
To(G)geth(D/F#)er – for(G)ev(D/F#)er.
Never(A)say goodbye, never(C#m)say goodbye.
