D       D              A            A
 He was working at the record shop
G        G               G            G
 I would kiss him in the parking lot
D             D              A         A
 Tasting like cigarettes and soda pop

D         D             A          A 
 He would tell me I was beautiful
G         G            G                   G
 Sneaking in the neighbors' swimming pool
D        D                A                A

 But hey, those days are long gone
     A                G (let this ring)
 And when I hear this song

 It takes me back


                       D
 We were on top of the world
           D          A
 Back when I was your girl
         A         G      G     G   
 We were living so wild and free
         G         D
 Acting stupid for fun
        D          A
 All we needed was love
            A           G     G    G 
 That's the way it's supposed to be

 Stealing beers out of the trailer park
G         G                G               G
 Flicking lighters just to fight the dark
D         D                 A           A 
 Favorite place was sitting in his car
 G  G  G  G

D      D              A         A
 Lay a blanket on the roof top
G            G             G           G
 That time I knew I wanted me to stop
D          D           A             A
 It was so cold but we kept him hot

 We were running red lights
         D         A
 We were going all night
        A          G  G  G 
 Didn't care about anything
               G          D
 Cause we were living our dream
         D             A
 We were living like a dream
     A       G  G  G  G
 And we were seventeen

D     D             A          A
 I remember what it felt like
G        G         G             G
 Just a small town kind of life
D        D               A             A
 If only I could just go back in time
