C  Am  F                                         C    Am  F
         There's glitter on the floor after the party
                                        C    Am  F
Girls carrying their shoes down in the lobby
                                 C       Am    F
Candle wax and Polaroids on the hardwood floor

You and me from the night before but


[Chorus 1]
C       Am  F    C
  Don't read the last page
C       Am  F                                                    C
  But I stay when you're lost and I'm scared and you’re turning away
  Am  F     C
I want your midnights
C                         Am                  F          C
  But I'll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year’s Day


[Verse 2]
C  Am  F                                                    C    Am  F
         You squeeze my hand three times in the back of the taxi
                                          C  Am  F
I can tell that it's gonna be a long road
                                                   C  Am  F
I'll be there if you're the toast of the town babe

Or if you strike out and you're crawling home


[Chorus 2]
C       Am  F    C
  Don't read the last page
C       Am  F                                                C
  But I stay when it's hard or it’s wrong or we're making mistakes
  Am  F     C
I want your midnights
C                         Am                  F          C
  But I'll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year’s Day


[Post-Chorus]
        C  Am          F                 G
Hold on       to the memories, they will hold on to you
C        Am         F                 G
  Hold on  to the memories, they will hold on to you
C        Am         F                 G
  Hold on  to the memories, they will hold on to you
Am  Em  F            G
          And I will hold on to you

C      Am    F             G
Please don't ever become a stranger whose
C     Am      F         G
Laugh I could recognize anywhere
C      Am    F             G
Please don't ever become a stranger whose
C     Am      F         G
Laugh I could recognize anywhere

                                        C    Am  F
Girls carrying their shoes down in the lobby
                                 C       Am    F
Candle wax and Polaroids on the hardwood floor

You and me forevermore


[Chorus 3]
C       Am  F    C
  Don't read the last page
C       Am  F                                                C
  But I stay when it's hard or it’s wrong or we're making mistakes
  Am  F     C
I want your midnights
C                         Am                  F          C
  But I'll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year’s Day


[Post-Chorus]
        C  Am          F                 G
Hold on       to the memories, they will hold on to you
