Intro
Em D
verse 1
Em
Desert, middle of winter
G
My feet, they know America
D
My cheek, frozen window
C
My eyes eat up a handful
Em
Gaining and then I'm leaving
G
Just as it starts to happen
D
Sometimes I feel the distance
C
But then I remember being kids
[Refrão]Chorus
Em G C
And swinging in the light of the disco ball
Em G C
Shut my eyes, I'm still swaying in the light of the disco ball
verse 2
Em
Old part is all melting
G
My friend shows me everything
D
We run around inside our high school
C
The hoop in my stomach gets dunked
Em
Over and over, think of my boys
G
They're in class stirring up another continent
D
Right now I feel the missing
C
But then I remember being held
[Refrão]Chorus
Em G
And swinging in the light of the disco ball
C
Swinging in the light of the disco ball
Am
Time to go
Em G
Back there now, I'm swaying the light of the disco ball
C
I'm still swinging in the light of the disco ball
Am Em
Back there now, I'm swaying in the light of the disco ball
