Those Were the Nights
Chasing every sunset, never thinking twice.
All songs / David Alan Graham
Chasing every sunset, never thinking twice.

Sunburn lines and a faded tan
Flip-flops kicking in the sand
Radio playing our favorite song
We were right where we belonged
Windows down on a midnight drive
Laughing like we had all night
Didn't care where the road might go
As long as you were riding close
We didn't know it then
But we were writing memories
Those were the nights
We were feeling alive
Chasing every sunset into the sky
Didn't think twice
Didn't need a plan
Just you and me and a summer we had
Yeah time goes by
But it don't fade out
Every little moment we're talking about
Still burning bright
Like those firefly lights
Yeah those were the nights
Barefoot dancing on a back porch floor
Singing loud like we wanted more
Every second slipping through our hands
But we didn't try to understand
Now I'd give anything just to go
Back to that endless glow
But I can still feel it every time
That summer runs through my mind
We didn't try to hold it
We just let it be
Those were the nights
We were feeling alive
Chasing every sunset into the sky
Didn't think twice
Didn't need a plan
Just you and me and a summer we had
Yeah time goes by
But it don't fade out
Every little moment we're talking about
Still burning bright
Like those firefly lights
Yeah those were the nights
Maybe that's the beauty
It don't ever stay
But it lives forever
In the songs we play
Those were the nights
We were feeling alive
Chasing every sunset into the sky
Didn't think twice
Didn't need a plan
Just you and me and a summer we had
Yeah time goes by
But it don't fade out
Every little moment we're talking about
Still burning bright
Like those firefly lights
Yeah those were the nights
Yeah those were the nights...
Still burning in my mind

This is the unfiltered pitch detection across the whole mix — vocals, bass and drums included — mapped onto a fretboard. It is not a playable arrangement and no one should try to read it as one. It is here only because it is the raw material everything else was built from.
