[Verse 1]
C  Am  F                                         C    Am  F
         There's glitter on the floor after the party
                                        C    Am  F
Girls carrying their shoes down in the lobby
                                 C       Am    F
Candle wax and Polaroids on the hardwood floor
 
You and me from the night before but
 
 
[Chorus 1]
C       Am  F    C
  Don't read the last page
C       Am  F                                                    C
  But I stay when you're lost and I'm scared and you’re turning away
  Am  F     C
I want your midnights
C                         Am                  F          C
  But I'll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year’s Day
 
 
[Verse 2]
C  Am  F                                                    C    Am  F
         You squeeze my hand three times in the back of the taxi
                                             C  Am  F
I can tell that it's going to be a long road
                                                 C  Am  F
I'll be there through the toast of the town babe
 
Or if you strike out and you're crawling home
 
 
[Chorus 2]
C       Am  F    C
  Don't read the last page
C       Am  F                                                 C
  But I stay when it's hard or it’s wrong or you’re making mistakes
  Am  F     C
I want your midnights
C                         Am                  F          C
  But I'll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year’s Day
 
[Post-Chorus]
C       Am          F                 G
  Hold on  to the memories, they will hold on to you
C        Am         F                 G
  Hold on  to the memories, they will hold on to you
C        Am         F                 G
  Hold on  to the memories, they will hold on to you
Am  Em  F            G
          And I will hold on to you

C      Am    F             G
Please don't ever become a stranger whose

Laugh I could recognize anywhere

You and me forevermore

For strumming, I do DD per chord. And then for the "please don't ever become a stranger who's laugh I could recognize anywhere" parts just strumming down once per chord sounds good:)
