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
