[Verse 1]
GG
And we drink and get older
CC
And some of us even try to get sober
GG
Now here's to the assholes and the last calls
DD
Well, city kids, you get what you ask for
[Pre-Chorus]
GG
And acquaintances turn to friends, I hope those friends they remember me
CC
Hold the night for ransom as we kidnap the memories
GG
Not sure there is a way to express what you meant to me
D N.C.
Sit around a table and use those years as the centerpiece
[Chorus]
GCadd9G
Sounds of the city on Capitol Hill
CC
Where I question if what I'm seeing here is real
GCadd9G
Cowboy boots doing lines at the bar
DD
Where the time goes slow when you're drinking PBR
GCadd9G
Sounds of the city on Capitol Hill
CC
Where I question if what I'm seeing here is real
GCadd9G
Cowboy boots doing lines at the bar
D
Where the time goes slow when you're drinking PBR
[Verse 1]
GCG
Hold on to what you were, forget what you're not
GDG
The streets were ours that summer, at least those two blocks
GCG
Reminisce on those days, I guess that's okay,
GG
you wonder why, Some grow up, move on, close the chapter, live separate lives
GG
The twenty-something confusion before the suit and tie
CC
Strangers become mistakes but those mistakes made you feel alive
GG
Hindsight is vibrant, reality: rarely lit
DD
Memory's a collage pasted to the glue that barely sticks
GG
Good Lord, they broke all my shields
CC
Locked bathroom doors, graffiti, and high heels
GG
Until you felt that altitude you don't know how high feels
CC
Party mountain, some don't ever come down from around here,
GG
To be young again, I guess it's relative
CC
The camel lights, the whiskey rye, sink into the skin
GG
I fantasize about a second wind
DD
Grow a moustache, pick up another bad habit and let the games begin
[Chorus]
GCadd9G
Sounds of the city on Capitol Hill
CC
Where I question if what I'm seeing here is real
GCadd9G
Cowboy boots doing lines at the bar
DD
Where the time goes slow when you're drinking PBR
GCadd9G
Sounds of the city on Capitol Hill
CC
Where I question if what I'm seeing here is real
GCadd9G
Cowboy boots doing lines at the bar
DD
Where the time goes slow when you're drinking PBR
[Verse 2]
GC
So here's to the nights, dancing with the band
GD
Strangers into girlfriends from a one night stand
GC
Brought a little liquor and turn up the Johnny Cash
GD
You could bring a receipt to Heaven but you cannot take it back
GC
And this is life, this is real, even when it feels like it isn't
GD
I'd be a Goddamn liar to say at times I didn't miss it
GC
So deuces, I turn my back as I walk into the distance
G N.C.
Dip my feet in every once in a while, just to say I visit
[Bridge]
GG
Come and hold onto these nights
CC
Try to find our way home by the street light
GG
Over time you figure out this is me, right?
DD
Learn a lot about your friends right around two A.M
[Pre-Chorus]
GG
And acquaintances turn to friends, I hope those friends they remember me
CC
Hold the night for ransom as we kidnap the memories
GG
Not sure there is a way to express what you meant to me
D N.C.
Sit around a table and use those years as the centerpiece
[Chorus]
GCadd9G
Sounds of the city on Capitol Hill
CC
Where I question if what I'm seeing here is real

Cowboy boots doing lines at the bar

Where the time goes slow when you're drinking PBR
