Intro: G,C,G,G,D,G 

G                     C                    G 
Late night drives and hot french fries and friends around the country 
                        D        G 
From Charlottesville to good old Santa Fe 
G                        C                 G 
When I think of you, you still got on that hat that says let’s party 
                     D            G 
I hope that thing is never thrown away 

            C                           G 
I hope that life without a chaperone is what you thought it’d be 
            C                        G 
I hope your brother’s El Camino runs forever 
           C                                      Em      D      C 
I hope the world sees the same person that you’ve always been to me 
        G                 D          G 
And may all your favorite bands stay together 

                               C            G 
Now I’m just waking up and I’m not thinking clearly so don’t quote me 
                      D                G 
With one eye open I'm writing you this song 
                        C            G 
Ain’t it funny how some people pop into your head so easily 
                   D               G 
I haven’t seen you in there for so long 

   C                           G 
I hope that life without a chaperone is what you thought it’d be 
            C                        G 
I hope your brother’s El Camino runs forever 
           C                                   Em     D       C 
I hope the world sees the same person that you always were to me 
        G                 D          G 
And may all your favorite bands stay together

            C                        G 
I hope your brother’s El Camino runs forever 
           C                                   Em     D      C 
I hope the world sees the same person that you always were to me 
        G                 D          G
