Capo 4 

Intro: | G | C | G | C .. 

     G 
His brother had a Chevy Malibu 
         C 
I was sitting in the back seat 
         D 
On some dead end road 
             C 
We weren’t supposed to know 

   G 
I remember thinking He would break My heart 
        C 
I was green as an evergreen 
       D 
But I fell right in 
           C 
Never the same again 

 G 
Duran Duran on the radio 
     C 
The Wild Boys and the days of gold 
       D 
I was sitting on His right 
                            C 
On His left was a fresh tattoo 
                  | C | G | 
And man,  We were cool 

     G 
His Daddy had a drinking problem 
    C 
My Daddy worked way too hard 
                 D 
And We were both running from - 
                    C 
What We swore We’d never become 

         G 
Killing time in a Walgreens parking lot 
              C 
Mapping out dreams that never came true 
               D 
When freedom’s all You want 
                 C 
Freedom’s really all You got 

             G 
Smells Like Teen Spirit on tape cassette 
           C 
Before We ever heard of the internet 
  D 
Redemption was a ragtop 
                  C 
All We needed was fuel 
                  G 
And man, We were cool 

              Em              D     C 
We were gonna burn this town down... 
              Em                      D        C 
We were gonna run these streets 'till they ran out 

                G 
You worked the night shift Slinging fast food 
         C 
All the French fries We could stand 
                    D 
There was something in His eyes 
               C 
I could never quite define 

           G 
Then We’d race that V6 all night 
    C 
And I was like putty in His hands 
            D 
Memorizing back roads 
                 C 
'till He had to take Me home 

 G 
Duran Duran on the radio 
     C 
And those Wild Boys would never know 
          D 
We had a baby on the way - 
                              C 
The year Our friends started school 
                   G 
But man,  We were cool 

              Em             D     C 
We were gonna burn this town down... 
              Em                      D        C 
We were gonna run these streets 'till they ran out 

          G 
But then dreams fade into the ever blue 
     C 
And time just slips away from You 
           D 
So You’re staring at each other 
            C 
Remembering when  We were cool
