[Verse]
G
Met you by the ocean
         C                G
Near the stand we got our alcohol

Two shots and a beer
         C                G
Was just enough to get us drunk

Walking down the shore
         C                G
Falling asleep to endless evening talks

Young and wild and reckless
        C                    G
We were trying to change the world

[Pre-Chorus]
       Em*      C*   G*
But do memories ever die?
       Em*      C*   G*
Do our memories ever die?

[Chorus]
            Em      C   G       Em
I wrote you letters to remember
    C               G
The summer days, no lonely nights
    D              Em
The time I used to call you mine
    C     D    G       Em
Now every cold December
  C               G
I think about the way you dressed
  D             Em
I wish I took a photograph
C*               D*             Em*
But I know these memories never die
C*                   D*             Em*
Yeah, now I know our memories never die

[Verse]
G
Dancing to the radio
C                G
Listening to our favorite songs

Singing along all the lyrics
C              G
To "All Summer Long"

No responsibilities
     C               G
Just running wild on empty streets

And if you ask me then I say
         C            G
It's the best it ever was

[Pre-Chorus]
       Em*      C*   G*
But do memories ever die?
       Em*      C*   G*
Do our memories ever die?

[Chorus]
            Em      C   G       Em
I wrote you letters to remember
    C               G

C*                   D*             Em*
Yeah, now I know our memories never die
