Verse 1:
    Em                  Am7
The summer I turned eighteen,
       D            G         D/F#
It was you, me, and Springsteen,
Em                  Am7
I remember sneaking out at night.
    D                  G
You waited for me underneath the porch light
Em7                 Am7
Reminiscing on that August moon
       D           G        D/F#
When I lost my innocence to you
       Em7
In the bed of your truck
        Am7
We were love-drunk

Chorus:
D       Am7                 C
Oh, I remember when that Kentucky sunset
       G
On the heat of your skin,
D               Am7
Burned into the back of my head
C                    G
Wish I could just go back again
D                   Am7
Touching your lips, strawberry twist
  C                 G
I can’t forget that sweet, sweet bliss
D Am7     C         G              D Am7 C G D Am7 C G
Oh God, I miss that first Kentucky Kiss


Verse 2:
Em                       Am7
Every now and then, when Born To Run
D                           G       D/F#
Plays through the static, I turn it up
Em7                  Am7
I wonder if you ever think of me
    D                G
And all our carefree memories
Em7                 Am
Sometimes, when I’m missing you
            D                     G       G/B
I’ll have a strawberry twist with lemon juice
         Em
And it’s bittersweet
        Am
What it does to me


Chorus:
D       Am7                 C
Oh, I remember when that Kentucky sunset
       G
On the heat of your skin,
D               Am7
Burned into the back of my head
C                    G
Wish I could just go back again
D                   Am7
Touching your lips, strawberry twist
  C                 G
I can’t forget that sweet, sweet bliss
D Am7     C         G              D Am7 C
Oh God, I miss that first Kentucky Kiss
     G              D Am  C  G
That first Kentucky Kiss


Bridge:
         D                      Am
You knew more about love than I ever did
    C                    G               D            Am C
You left me with that Kentucky Kiss; now I’m Kentucky blue.


Out-Chorus:
D       Am7                 C
Oh, I remember when that Kentucky sunset
       G
On the heat of your skin,
D               Am7
Burned into the back of my head
C                    G
Wish I could just go back again
D                   Am7
Touching your lips, strawberry twist
  C                 G
I can’t forget that sweet, sweet bliss
D Am7     C         G              D Am7 C
Oh God, I miss that first Kentucky Kiss
     G              D Am7  C  G     D
That first Kentucky Kiss
