🎸 Verse 1:
  G+G            D5D5              C/GC/G
The summer that I turned nineteen was a hundred shades of green
          Dadd4/A
I just wanted to be seen
G+G              D5D5                 C/GC/G
Heavy like the air before it rains, clean like grass and summer sage
          Dadd4/A
I lost track of all the days
G+G               D5D5              C/GC/G
Warm like the sunshine on the pines, fresh tomatoes off the vine
            Dadd4/A
Pickin’ peaches for the pie
G+G                D5D5               C/GC/G
Cold, like that first beer on my lips and those midnight skinny dips
         Dadd4/A
Careful like your kiss

🎸 Chorus:
C/GC/G      G+G     Cadd9Cadd9 D5D5  C/GC/G
Lightning in a bottle, if only I had known
    C/GC/G       G+G      C/GC/G        Dadd4/A
I’d be back here after twenty years driving down this road
C/GC/G         G+G         Cadd9Cadd9 D5D5    C/GC/G
Wondering where that girl has gone and how to bring her back
    C/GC/G       G+G     Am7Am7 D5D5      G+G   Cadd9Cadd9 Dadd4/A C/GC/G
Missing life when it was easier and love  when it was magic


🎸 Verse 2:
G+G                D5D5                C/GC/G
Dark like that trail through the woods, sneaking out late when we could
           Dadd4/A
My hand in yours fit good
G+G            D5D5            C/GC/G
Bright like Venus on the rise in the early morning sky
        Dadd4/A
I grew up that night
G+G                D5D5                C/GC/G
Breathless, heart pounding in my chest
I placed your hand upon my breast
            Dadd4/A
And surrendered to the rest

🎸 Chorus:
C/GC/G      G+G     Cadd9Cadd9 D5D5  C/GC/G
Lightning in a bottle, if only I had known
    C/GC/G       G+G      C/GC/G        Dadd4/A
I’d be back here after twenty years driving down this road
C/GC/G         G+G         Cadd9Cadd9 D5D5    C/GC/G
Wondering where that girl has gone and how to bring her back
    C/GC/G       G+G     Am7Am7 D5D5      G+G
Missing life when it was easier and love  when it was magic


🎸 Bridge:
  Cadd9Cadd9     Dadd4/A     C/GC/G
And every dream I had back then is finally coming true
     Cadd9Cadd9       Dadd4/A    C/GC/G
But last night I found the letter that I kept for years from you
   Cadd9Cadd9    Dadd4/A      C/GC/G
And I wonder if I lost something somewhere along the way
    Am7Am7   Gadd4/B C majorC         C majorC       Dadd4/A
I came back to find the piece of my heart buried in this place


🎸 Chorus:
C/GC/G      G+G     Cadd9Cadd9 D5D5  C/GC/G
Lightning in a bottle, if only I had known
   C/GC/G        G+G       C/GC/G     Dadd4/A
That summer flames burn out so just enjoy the afterglow
   C/GC/G       G+G         Cadd9Cadd9   D5D5   C/GC/G
That time is touching all of us and the years are coming fast
    C/GC/G       G+G     Am7Am7
Missing life when it was easier and love
Dadd4/A
Oh, love


C/GC/G      G+G     Cadd9Cadd9 D5D5  C/GC/G
Lightning in a bottle, if only I had known
    C/GC/G       G+G      C/GC/G        Dadd4/A
I’d be back here after twenty years driving down this road
C/GC/G         G+G         Cadd9Cadd9 D5D5    C/GC/G
Wondering where that girl has gone and how to bring her back
    C/GC/G       G+G     Am7Am7 D5D5      G+G
Missing life when it was easier and love  when it was magic
