Do you remember the night [Asus4]the light[D]s went

All along the prom[Asus4]enade[D]

your dress got wet
We [Bm]laughed 'til we almost cried
[A]

[G]Man, right the[Asus4]re the sp[D]arks would fly
[G]We'd get int[Asus4]o such a m[D]ess

We didn't [Bm]give a damn what they thought,
I guess
[A]

Remem[F#m]bering[Bm]
[G][A]

[Verse 7]
[G]
And maybe when the
[A]skies flew [Bm]open
Right then [A]the lines would be [G]broken
Your eyes they did [A]all the talking
[Bm]Keep your heart open wide

[G]Can you remember[Asus4]
[D]the trip we took
In the [G]Malibu [D]to the west coast

They [Bm]never thought you'd
get that close
