[Verse 1]
B
There was a place in Maine,
not that long ago
Abm
Where we would hide away,
for several months or so.
E
Tucked beneath the pines,
B
and under summer skies,
Gb
a bunch of twenty somethings running barefoot every night.
B
And some of us were new,
and some had been for years.
Abm
And a few of us found love,
all of us had fears.
E
But every single night,
we'd gather by the fire,
Gb
and sing away the night.
[Chorus]
B E B Gb
And oh, when the fire burns out and the embers all die,
Abm E
we still have all our stories,
B Gb
like stars in the sky.
Abm E B Gb
And we will always remember how we lit up the night.
Abm E
Oh, summers by the lake,
B Gb B E B Gb
like a million twinkling lights...
[Verse 2]
B
And the days were only measured by the sun's rise and fall,
E Abm
and we spent our nights out searching for the meaning of it all.
E
Falling deep in love,
sneaking out at night,
Gbm
somehow it just felt right.
[Chorus]
B E B Gb
And oh, when the fire burns out and the embers all die,
Abm E
we still have all our stories,
B Gb
like stars in the sky.
Abm E B Gb
And we will always remember how we lit up the night.
Abm E
Oh, summers by the lake,
B Gb B E B Gb
like a million twinkling lights...
B E B Gb
Twinkling lights...
[Verse 3]
B Gb
Well I never saw it coming,
B
but now I'll always know,
Abm
that summer is more than freedom,
and love will come and go.
E
We may not have it now,
B
but we had it then.
Gb
We will never be the same,
no matter how it ends.
B
Because when we've all grown old,
living far away.
Abm
On our darkest days,
we will remember Maine.
E
Cuz there's something about a fire,
B
and a couple rounds of beer.
Gb
And we'll tell em all our dreams,
love for all to hear.
[Chorus]
B E B Gb
And oh, when the fire burns out and the embers all die,
Abm E
we still have all our stories,
B Gb
like stars in the sky.
Abm E B Gb
And we will always remember how we lit up the night.
Abm E
Oh, summers by the lake,
B Gb B E B Gb
like a million twinkling lights...
B E B Gb
Twinkling lights...
B E B Gb
Twinkling lights...
B E B Gb
Twinkling lights...
Abm E B
Twinkling lights.
