Intro: D, D/C# , Bm , D/C# , D , D/C# , Bm , A 

verse 1: 
 D                 A 
Five young guns, four old Fords between us 
  Bm                             A 
Never more than a couple of 'em run at a time 
 D                 A 
Bold and bored, standin' and gasolinin' 
  G                   A 
Makin' sparks with anything we could find 

Pre-Chorus 
G                  A 
We love that town but we were seventeeners 
G                A 
Ridin' around giving it the finger 

 
  G             A 
Those days we made it last all night 
  G               A 
Those girls we thought were just all right 
  G              A          Bm 
Those kids that town misunderstood 
            G     A 
They were great  ...  before we knew they were good 


verse 2 
   D                       A 
Sweatin' in the sun 'cuz havin' fun takes money 
  Bm                  A 
Paid for our crazy cuttin' grass 
   D                        A 
Waitin' on the front porch for little miss milk and honey 
    G                          A 
Smellin' like Marlboros and lawnmower gas 

Pre-Chorus 
G                      A 
We parked that Galaxy out there where the milo grew 
G                        A 
Two beginners tryin' to show each other what they knew 


  G             A 
Those days we made it last all night 
  G               A 
Those girls we thought were just all right 
  G              A          Bm 
Those kids that town misunderstood 
            G     A 
They were great  ...  before we knew they were 


Bridge: 
  Bm                   A                           G          A 
Caged birds singing, waitin' on their wings and learnin' to fly 
  Bm                          A                        
One day they're on the ground and then you turn around 
  G                 A      D , A 
They're all in the sky 


  G             A 
Those days we made it last all night 
  G               A 
Those girls we thought were just all right 
  G              A          Bm 
Those kids that town misunderstood 
            G     A 
They were great  ...  before we knew they were good
