Introduction: C9 D
C9
I held the keys to that old Chevrolet
D G
And you held the keys to my heart
C9
I'd throw a fit, hit the dash, get out and kick the tire
D G
When that old piece of junk wouldn't start
C9
It'd be smokin good, I'd slam down the hood
D G
Just to see you there laughin at me
C9
On the other side of a dirty windshield
D G
Lookin as pretty as you could be
Am Em
We sure saw a lot of miles
D G
Never even crossed that county line
Am Em
I would've bet the farm, gave my right arm
C G
So you'd always be mine
Am
Did we crash and burn
Em
Or make a wrong turn
D G
Or run out of gasoline
Am D
I lost you around 3rd gear and 17
C9
In the blink of an eye high school flew by
D G
You went your way and I went mine
C9
But we swore we'd make it our love could take it
D G
400 miles could stand the test of time
C9
I left that fall to play college ball
D G
But my dreams would all come to an end
C9
Cuz you know the big leagues never called
D G
And you went and fell in love with him
Am Em
We sure saw a lot of miles
D G
Never even crossed that county line
Am Em
I would've bet the farm, gave my right arm
C G
So you'd always be mine
Am
Did we crash and burn
Em
Or make a wrong turn
D G
Or run out of gasoline
Am D
I lost you around 3rd gear and 17
D Am
Memories flash through my mind like old faded photographs
C9
I still think about you in that red Malibu
D G
And I just can't help but laugh
Am Em
We sure saw a lot of miles
D G
Never even crossed that county line
Am Em
I would've bet the farm, gave my right arm
C G
So you'd always be mine
Am
Did we crash and burn
Em
Or make a wrong turn
D G
Or run out of gasoline
Am D C
I lost you around 3rd gear and 17
