Verse 1:
D                     Bm7                        G
 Marlboros in a mustang, stoplight blinking yellow
                D/F#                     D
Sunset on a two-lane, Matchbox on the radio
                       Bm7                        G
Spray paint on a train bridge, red lips on a cold can
                   D/F#                    D
Old blue jeans faded, two kids in the heartland

Pre-Chorus:
                Bm7      G
Yeah that's what, we were
                D/F#
We sure thought it'd last forever


Chorus:
D
Call it young love
         Bm7
But that fire, yeah we had it
G                            D/F#
'fore we burned out, we were some kind of classic
     D                        Bm7
Hate how it went down, but we turned out okay
        G
I still smile thinking 'bout that
D/F#                D          Bm7  G

(That small town American heartbreak)

                 Bm7                           G
?: and some Ray-Bans, back home for the Summer
                           D/F#
Slow laugh holding your hand, yeah how about another
D
Kiss on the tailgate, two hearts beatin'
Bm7
Making memories that we'll be keepin'
G
Full steam ahead even though I know you're leavin'
D/F#
Yeah that was a damn good reason to
