Verse 1:
         A augmentedA
Many years gone by,
             E MajorE
But it feels like yesterday.
                 A augmentedA
I guess a part of me has never changed,
            E MajorE
As it feels this way.

                    A augmentedA
School is nothing but some old man's books,
              E MajorE
So I didn't waste time on this.
                   A augmentedA
And when the summer showed its sunny face,
                E MajorE
We'd all meet down at a secret place.

  BB      F# minorF#m      C# minorC#m   A augmentedA
Oh-oh, just a six-pack and a radio,
   E MajorE     BB
Down by the river!
    A augmentedA      E MajorE    BB
It was back in the day, hey hey!
    F# minorF#m     C# minorC#m      A augmentedA

           A augmentedA
No need for calls no rush,
         E MajorE
Many just showed up.
              A augmentedA
We shared everything for what you could bring,
             E MajorE
A augmentedA lighter and a plastic cup.

               A augmentedA
Somebody always had a broken heart,
               E MajorE
While somebody just fell in love.
                       A augmentedA
And when the sun went down and the stars came up,
              E MajorE
It was all we were dreaming of!

There was skinny dipping after midnight,
                   A augmentedA
Stealing kisses in the fire light.

No job, no plans, just live, just love, just dance, oh!
