Title:

“Stranded at the Pier”

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
[G] Stranded at the pier, [D] under the neon lights,
[Am] Silence echoing through the night, [C] as we say goodbye.
[Em] I see the reflection in your eyes, [Bm] filled with the city’s lies,
[Am] Tear-streaked faces, [D] under the starry skies.

Chorus:
[G] Stranded at the pier, [Em] as the rain starts to clear,
[C] Holding on to the moments, [D] that we held so dear.
[G] We were just kids, [Em] without any fears,
[C] Now we’re leaving our hearts, [D] stranded at the pier.

Verse 2:
[G] You were my compass, [D] I was your northern star,
[Am] In the city’s chaos, [C] we found who we are.
[Em] As the ferry fades away, [Bm] like a distant scar,
[Am] I hold on to your memory, [D] near yet so far.

(Chorus)

Bridge:
[Am] The city lights keep shining, [G] as our stories keep unwinding,
[C] All that’s left are echoes, [D] of our youth, we’re finding.

(Chorus x2)
