(Verse)
(C) I could show you in a Polaroid
(C) I could play you all the songs we played
(C) I could tell you how the sunset faded in-(Am)to (G)one of them (C)nights 
(C) I could tell you how my heartbeat skipped
(C) When you leaned in for the kiss
(C) I could tell you everything you missed but (Am)words can't (F)do it right (C)

(Chorus)
(C) You shoulda seen that night sky, dancing in that moon light
(C) We had the time of our lives, (Am)fireworks (F)in the air (C)
(C) A sweet summer dreaming, catching those feelings
(C) I could give a million reasons, but I (Am)guess, you had to (F)be there (C)
Oh, I (Am)guess, you had to (F)be there (C)

(Whistle)
|(C) / / / |(C) / / / |

(Verse)
(C) It's a shame that you didn't show up, maybe then it could've been us
(C) Now it's just the chance you lost and (Am)too late to (F)get it back (C)
And it's (Am)too bad a-(F)bout that (C) because

(Chorus)
(C) You shoulda seen that night sky, dancing in that moon light
(C) We had the time of our lives, (Am)fireworks (F)in the air (C)
(C) A sweet summer dreaming, catching those feelings
(C) I could give a million reasons, but I (Am)guess, you had to (F)be there (C)
Oh, I (Am)guess, you had to (F)be there (C)

(Instrumental)

(Bridge)
If you (C)had your shot, made your move, (Am)you would have been there
You woulda (F)had my heart, that's the truth, it's you that would've been there

(Chorus)
(C) You shoulda seen that night sky,  dancing in that moon light
(C) We had the time of our lives, (Am)fireworks (F)in the air (C)
(C) A sweet summer dreaming, catching those feelings
(C)I could give a million reasons, but it's (Am)too bad (C)you weren't there (F)
And so I (Am)guess, you had to (F)be there (C)

(Outro.)
(C) To even take your shot, to even make your move
(C)Yeah, you had to be there
(C) You could've had my heart, you could've (Am)had (F)mine now (C)
Oh, yeah
