Chords with lyrics
Acoustic Version
The intro and the parts between the chorus and verses are a little tricky or easy
depending on how you want to play it.
You can play it the real way with the (strumming pattern)where it goes:
D MajorD (DDUUDUUDU) G+G (DU) E minorEm (DU)
or the easy way with just:
D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G
I put the easy parts in for you,
but here's the rest of the song:
D MajorD G+G
I was Ringo Starr of the dashboard drummers,
D MajorD G+G
You were turning up the radio.
D MajorD G+G
Sitting in the middle, playing the fiddle,
D MajorD G+G
You were hotter than a summer back road.
E minorEm G+G
And it's crazy how I remember that perfectly
D MajorD G+G
When we set sail away in a white Chevrolet
D MajorD G+G
With a Jerry jet sticker on the glass.
D MajorD G+G
We cut through the night like the KC lights
D MajorD G+G
Knowing summertime wasn't gonna last
E minorEm G+G
And we swore that wouldn't matter
E minorEm G+G
And we'll stay like that together
E minorEm G+G D MajorD
But we're not, cause we're not 19 forever.
D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G
D MajorD G+G
I remember the time you asked me for a ride,
D MajorD G+G
If I could teach you how to drive stick.
D MajorD G+G
You burned through the clutch and I burned to touch
D MajorD G+G
Every tan line wrappin' your skin.
E minorEm G+G
And I still see every memory.
D MajorD G+G
When we set sail away in a white Chevrolet
D MajorD G+G
With a Jerry jet sticker on the glass.
D MajorD G+G
We cut through the night like the KC lights
D MajorD G+G
Knowing summertime wasn't gonna last
E minorEm G+G
And we swore that wouldn't matter
E minorEm G+G
And we'll stay like that together
E minorEm G+G D MajorD
But we're not, no we're not 19 forever.
D MajorD
And I still sing along
B minorBm
With all those old songs
D MajorD E minorEm G+G E minorEm G+G
Well, I know it's wrong, I know it's wrong,
D MajorD G+G
I know it's wrong.
D MajorD
I gotta move on.

D MajorD G+G
When we set sail away in a white Chevrolet
D MajorD G+G
With a Jerry jet sticker on the glass.
D MajorD G+G
We cut through the night like the KC lights
D MajorD G+G
Knowing summertime wasn't gonna last
E minorEm G+G
And we swore that wouldn't matter
E minorEm G+G
And we'll stay like that together
E minorEm G+G
But we're not, no we're not 19 forever.
