Intro:

D    A    Bm7    G


Verse 1:
        D
We were classic
                   A
Never goin' out of style
    Bm7                            G
Automatic, like your Chevy burnin' miles
     D
July magic
                        A
Watchin' bottle rockets fly
             Bm7                            G
With his old jacket that still fits me just right

Pre-Chorus:
D                  A
Oh, we tried to be tough
            Bm7
But we wore out
                G
Yeah, what goes up
G
Gotta come back down


Chorus:
D                                   A
For a while, we mixed like Jack and Coke
A
We were flyin' like birds of a feather
Bm7                              G
Holdin' on to him, holdin' on to me
G
Holdin' strong like steel-toe leather
D
Swore we'd never lose our shine
     A                                     Bm7
Like his blue eyes underneath that Stetson
                      G
But I guess sometimes people change
                       D
And feelings fade like denim


Verse 2:
              D
Just like the promise
               A
That we tailor-made
       Bm7                             G
But by August, it was ripped apart and frayed
     D
It's out with the old when the new gets gone
   A
So I should've known that he'd ride off
        Bm7
In that Silverado sun
      G
Leave me the same shade of his 501s


Chorus:
D                                   A
For a while, we mixed like Jack and Coke
A
We were flyin' like birds of a feather
Bm7                              G
Holdin' on to him, holdin' on to me
G
Holdin' strong like steel-toe leather
D
Swore we'd never lose our shine
     A                                     Bm7
Like his blue eyes underneath that Stetson
                      G
But I guess sometimes people change
                       D
And feelings fade like denim
                        A
Levi's on a limb by the river bank
                          Bm7
Crossin' everything, we'd stay the same
                     G
But nothin' lasts forever
                       D
And feelings fade like denim


Post-Chorus:
  A
Oh
                   Bm7   G
Feelings fade like denim


Pre-Chorus:
D                  A
Oh, we tried to be tough
            Bm7
But we wore out
                G
Yeah, what goes up
G
Gotta come back down


Chorus:
D                                   A
For a while, we mixed like Jack and Coke
A
We were flyin' like birds of a feather
Bm7                              G
Holdin' on to him, holdin' on to me
G
Holdin' strong like steel-toe leather
D
Swore we'd never lose our shine
     A                                     Bm7
Like his blue eyes underneath that Stetson
                      G
But I guess sometimes people change
                       D
And feelings fade like denim
                        A
Levi's on a limb by the river bank
                          Bm7
Crossin' everything, we'd stay the same
                     G
But nothin' lasts forever
                       D
And feelings fade like denim


Outro:
  A
Oh
                   Bm7   G
Feelings fade like denim
