[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G D/F#
Friday night, beneath the stars
C
In a field behind your yard
Bm Am7 D G
You and I are paintin' pictures in the sky

And sometimes, we don't say a thing
C
Just listen to the crickets sing
Bm Am7 D
Everything I need is right here by my side
[Pre-Chorus]
C G
I know everything about you
A D
I don't wanna live without you
[Chorus]
G
I'm only up when you're not down
D C
Don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground
Em D
It's like no matter what I do
G
Well, you drive me crazy half the time
D
The other half, I'm only tryin' to
C Em D
Let you know what I feel is true
C D G F Em C G
That I'm only me when I'm with you
[Verse 2]
G D/F#
Just a small-town boy and girl
D C
Livin' in a crazy world
Bm Am7 D G
Tryna figure out what is and isn't true
D
I don't try to hide my tears
C
My secrets or my deepest fears
Bm Am7 D
Through it all, nobody gets me like you do
[Pre-Chorus]

But you know everything about me

You say that you can't live without me

I'm only up when you're not down
