Intro:

G  Em  Bm  C
G  Em  Bm  C



Verse 1:
       G                      Em
Your shades on my dashboard, shoes on my floorboard
 Bm                      C
Lived in that old Chevrolet
         G                  Em
We were two Roman candles, too hot to handle
Bm                           C
Two hearts that couldn't be tamed

Pre-Chorus:
          G             Em
Yeah, we knew what was comin’
               Bm               C
And laughed it off like it was nothin'
G            Em                  Bm
Oh, but time kept on runnin' and runnin’ away

Chorus:

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

Verse 2:
       G                                Em
I was beggin’ those leaves, "Don't go changin’ on me"
  Bm                         C
"Friday night lights, stay away"
G                       Em
But the Fourth of July was just smoke in the sky
         Bm                        C
And our sunburns were startin' to fade

Pre-Chorus:
          G             Em
Yeah, we knew what was comin'
               Bm               C
And laughed it off like it was nothin'
         G            Em                  Bm
Oh, but time kept on runnin’ and runnin' away

Chorus:

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

Just wait a minute, we weren't finished
             G              Em
Can we just hold onto each other?
         Bm            C        G  Em
Take me back to the beginnin', oh
