Full Song Lyrics:

Verse 1:
Am – G – F
( Am ) Lost in the city lights, ( G ) we found our solace in the night
( F ) We were young, we were reckless, ( Am ) with the world at our fingertips
( G ) Chasing dreams, chasing starlight, ( F ) nothing could dim our inner light

Chorus:
C – G – Am – F
( C ) Chasing Sundown, ( G ) our hearts in our hands
( Am ) Underneath the city’s glow, ( F ) we wrote our own command
( C ) Oh, the beauty of the reckless, ( G ) the passion of the young
( Am ) In the shadows of the twilight, ( F ) our journey had begun

Verse 2:
Am – G – F
( Am ) With laughter in our voices, ( G ) and fire in our veins
( F ) We danced to the rhythm of the heartbeat, ( Am ) in the pouring rain
( G ) Love was an adventure, ( F ) and friendship was our guide
( Am ) As we journeyed through the city, ( G ) with the sundown in our eyes

Chorus:
C – G – Am – F
( C ) Chasing Sundown, ( G ) our hearts in our hands
( Am ) Underneath the city’s glow, ( F ) we wrote our own command
( C ) Oh, the beauty of the reckless, ( G ) the passion of the young
( Am ) In the shadows of the twilight, ( F ) our journey had just begun
