[Intro]
Am C G D x2
[Verse 1]
Am
That night you kept to yourself
C
People talked but you weren’t there
G D
an empty chair sat close to me
Am
You looked at me a couple times
C
You would even catch my eyes
G D
But you didn’t say a single thing
[Verse 2]
Am
I tried to guess what you would say
C
Maybe I should move away
G D
But when I stood I saw your face
Am
A Conversation started up
C
Maybe this could be enough
G D~
To start something new
[Chorus]
C G D
These nights are ours they belong to us
C G D
We can show our scars we can patch our cuts
Am G D
I know there’s a lot but you’re strong enough
C G D
These nights are ours they belong to us
Am C G D
[Verse 3]
Am
From midnight to sunrise
C
We sat whispering in the sand
G D
You were holding onto me
Am
It all flew by in a haze
C
Could be months or could be days
G D
All I knew was I had you
[Verse 4]
Am
The sea air it held me there
C
When you told me you were scared
G D
Suddenly it all was clear
Am
You’ve been saying for a while
C
You’d never had to fake a smile
G D~
Whenever you were close to me
[Chorus]
C G D
These nights are ours they belong to us
C G D
We can show our scars we can patch our cuts
Am G D
I know there’s a lot but you’re strong enough
C G D
These nights are ours they belong to us
Am C G D
[Verse 5]
Am*
Everyday I know you more
C*
Like the sea that meets the shore
G* D
I wonder if lll wake from this dream
Am*
The sun peaked out behind the clouds
C*
The morning greets us with her sounds
G D~
And I already miss the night we had before
[Chorus]
C G D
These nights are ours they belong to us
C G D
We can show our scars we can patch our cuts
Am G D
I know there’s a lot but you’re strong enough
C G D~
These nights are ours they belong to us
[Bridge]
C
This is the very first page
G D
This is the story of us
C
I’ll write your name in the sand
G D
And then you’ll say it’s because
Am
We let the night take our hand
G D
And lead us into the light
C
If you had told me our tale
G D
And said it was real life
C G D
I never would have believed you
Am G D~
I never would have believed you
End Chorus
C G D
These nights are ours they belong to us
C G D
We can show our scars we can patch our cuts
Am G D
I know there’s a lot but you’re strong enough
C G D
These nights are ours they belong to us
C G D
We can show our scars we can patch our cuts
Am G D
I know there’s a lot but you’re strong enough
C G D
These nights are ours they belong to us

These nights are ours they belong to us
