♫ Verse 1:
     G                       Em7
Your shades on my dashboard, shoes on my floorboard
Bm                      C
Lived in that old Chevrolet
        G                  Em7
We were two Roman candles, too hot to handle
Bm                          C
Two hearts that couldn't be tamed
         G             Em7
Yeah, we knew what was comin'
               Bm              C
And laughed it off like it was nothin'
        G            Em7                  Bm
Oh, but time kept on runnin' and runnin' away
      C
Yeah, what can I say?

♫ Chorus 1:
          G                 Em7
We had our hopes up and the windows down
Bm                   C
   Fallin' fast in a one-lane town
G                       Em7
   Tangled up with your lips on mine
Bm                       C
   Never seen a brighter green in those eyes and
G                          Em7
   I put my jacket on your shoulder
Bm                            C
   Wishin' the weather wasn't gettin' colder
G                       Em7
Lettin' you go, holdin' onto each other
Bm                         C              G  Em7  Bm  C
Closin' our eyes, sayin', "Slow down, summer  "

♫ Verse 2:
      G                               Em7
I was beggin' those leaves, "Don't go changin' on me"
Bm                          C
"Friday night lights, stay away"
        G                        Em7
But the Fourth of July was just smoke in the sky
        Bm                        C
And our sunburns were startin' to fade
         G             Em7
Yeah, we knew what was comin'
               Bm              C
And laughed it off like it was nothin'
        G            Em7                  Bm
Oh, but time kept on runnin' and runnin' away
      C
Yeah, those were the days

♫ Chorus 2:
          G                 Em7
We had our hopes up and the windows down
Bm                   C
   Fallin' fast in a one-lane town
G                       Em7
   Tangled up with your lips on mine
Bm                       C
   Never seen a brighter green in those eyes and
G                          Em7
   I put my jacket on your shoulder
Bm                            C
   Wishin' the weather wasn't gettin' colder
G                       Em7
Lettin' you go, holdin' onto each other
Bm                         C              G  Em7  Bm
Closin' our eyes, sayin', "Slow down, summer  " (yeah)

♫ Bridge:
C                   G          Em7
   Why couldn't you slow down, summer?
            Bm                 C
Just wait a minute, we weren't finished
            G              Em7
Can we just hold onto each other?
            Bm            C                 G
And take me back to the beginnin', oh oh oh oh
Em7           Bm     C   G
   Slow down, summer  yeah
Em7           Bm
   Slow down, summer
C
Those were the days
