Intro - | G | C | G | C ..
 
     G
His brother had a Chevy Malibu
         C
I was sitting in the back seat
         D
On some dead end road
             C
We weren’t supposed to know
 
   G
I remember thinking He would break My heart
        C
I was green as an evergreen
       D
But I fell right in
           C
Never the same again
 
 G
Duran Duran on the radio
     C
The Wild Boys and the days of gold
       D
I was sitting on His right
                            C
On His left was a fresh tattoo
                  | C | G |
And man,  We were cool
 
     G
His Daddy had a drinking problem
    C
My Daddy worked way too hard
                 D
And We were both running from -
                    C
What We swore We’d never become
 
         G
Killing time in a Walgreens parking lot
              C
Mapping out dreams that never came true
               D
When freedom’s all You want
                 C
Freedom’s really all You got
 
             G
Smells Like Teen Spirit on tape cassette
           C
Before We ever heard of the internet
  D
Redemption was a ragtop
                  C
All We needed was fuel
                  G
And man, We were cool
 
              Em              D     C
We were gonna burn this town down...
              Em                      D        C
We were gonna run these streets 'till they ran out
 
                G
You worked the night shift Slinging fast food
         C
All the French fries We could stand
                    D
There was something in His eyes
               C
I could never quite define
 
           G
Then We’d race that V6 all night
    C
And I was like putty in His hands
            D
Memorizing back roads
                 C
'till He had to take Me home
 
 G
Duran Duran on the radio
     C
And those Wild Boys would never know
          D
We had a baby on the way -
                              C
The year Our friends started school
                   G
But man,  We were cool
 
              Em             D     C
We were gonna burn this town down...
              Em                      D        C
We were gonna run these streets 'till they ran out
 
          G
But then dreams fade into the ever blue
     C
And time just slips away from You
           D
So You’re staring at each other
            C
Remembering when  We were cool
