Verse:

C#m7 Bsus4 G#m A(Aadd9)
Oh, how I’ve tried to get you out of my head.
C#m7 Bsus4 G#m A(Aadd9)
And I lied, broken words I said.
C#m7 Bsus4 G#m A(Aadd9)
Never thought I’d walk on this street again.
C#m7 Bsus4 G#m A(Aadd9)
Standing where it all began.

Pre-Chorus:

F#m
Tried to forget when I left this town,
A(Aadd9)
But it takes me right back when I come back around.

Chorus:

E
Retrace the steps we took on that long summer night.
Bsus4
I’m back there by your side.
C#m7
Retrace the steps we took when we met worlds away.
A(Asus2) Bsus4 A(Asus2)
Counting backwards while the stars are falling.

Verse:

C#m7 Bsus4 G#m A(Aadd9)
Oh, how I find every subtle thing screams your name.
C#m7 Bsus4 G#m A(Aadd9)
It reminds me of places of times we shared.
C#m7 Bsus4 G#m A(Aadd9)
Couldn’t live locked in these memories.
C#m7 Bsus4 G#m A(Aadd9)
Now I’m chained to my thoughts again.

Pre-Chorus:

F#m
And I tried to forget when I left this town,
A(Asus2)
But I’ll take you right back if you come back around.

E
Retrace the steps we took on that long summer night.

Retrace the steps we took when we met worlds away.

Counting backwards while the stars are falling.

Bridge:
C#m7 A(Asus2)
I need some shelter, I need some safety.
Bsus4
Photographs, they haunt me lately.
C#m7 A(Asus2)
Chasing shadows as the evening takes me.

I’m still searching, but the picture’s fading.

Retrace the steps we took on that long summer night.

Counting backwards, still counting backwards.

And no where else has ever felt like home.
Bsus4
And I can’t fall asleep when I’m lying here alone.
C#m7
I replay your voice, it’s like you’re here.

You move the earth, but now the sky is falling.

In my mind, I’m back by your side.

Counting backwards while the stars are falling.
