G (Am7/G)
Another life but I still remember
G (Am7/G)
A county fair in steamy September
Em Bm C G
In the Year of the Tiger 19-something
G (Am7/G)
I was broke and you were unbroken
G (Am7/G)
A little jokes to keep it unspoken
Em Bm C G
Even when I knew you were the last one
[Chorus]
Am
I broke a promise to myself
Em
To ride the throttle 'til wheels came off
C
Burn out like a Molotov
Em
In the night sky
Am
I broke a promise to myself
Em
Made a couple to a brown eyed girl
C
Who rode with me through the mean ol' world
G
Never say die

[Verse 2]
G
Time flies when you're making babies
G
Do you miss your little black Mercedes
Em Bm C G
Do you miss the girl you once had time to be
G
When you said we had the same three wishes
G
I hope you weren't being facetious
Em Bm C G
And I hope you still see fire inside of me
[Chorus]
Am
I broke a promise to myself
Em
To ride the throttle 'til wheels came off
C
Burn out like a Molotov
Em
In the night sky
Am
I broke a promise to myself
Em
Made a couple to a brown eyed girl
C
Who rode with me through the mean ol' world
G
Never say die

In the intro (and choruses) an electric guitar slides up and down the neck
playing power chords.
Acoustic players can substitute power chords for the open chords charted. I
prefer open chords
for solo acoustic.
