G                  (Am7/G)
Another life but I still remember
G                  (Am7/G)
A county fair in steamy September
Em                        Bm C
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
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

To ride the throttle 'til wheels came off
                C
Burn out like a Molotov
             Em
In the night sky
