[Verse 1:]
 D                 A
Five young guns, four old Fords between us
  Bm                             A
Never more than a couple of 'em run at a time
 D                 A
Bold and bored, standin' and gasolinin'
  G                   A
Makin' sparks with anything we could find

[Pre-Chorus:]
G                  A
We love that town but we were seventeeners
G                A
Ridin' around giving it the finger

[Chorus:]
  G             A
Those days we made it last all night
  G               A
Those girls we thought were just all right
  G              A          Bm
Those kids that town misunderstood
            G     A
They were great  ...  before we knew they were good

[Verse 2]
   D                       A
Sweatin' in the sun 'cuz havin' fun takes money
  Bm                  A
Paid for our crazy cuttin' grass
   D                        A
Waitin' on the front porch for little miss milk and honey
    G                          A
Smellin' like Marlboros and lawnmower gas

[Pre-Chorus:]
G                      A
We parked that Galaxy out there where the milo grew
G                        A
Two beginners tryin' to show each other what they knew

[Chorus:]
  G             A
Those days we made it last all night
  G               A
Those girls we thought were just all right
  G              A          Bm
Those kids that town misunderstood
            G     A
They were great  ...  before we knew they were

[Bridge:]
  Bm                   A                           G          A
Caged birds singing, waitin' on their wings and learnin' to fly
  Bm                          A                       
One day they're on the ground and then you turn around
  G                 A      D , A
They're all in the sky

[Chorus:]
  G             A
Those days we made it last all night
  G               A
Those girls we thought were just all right
  G              A          Bm
Those kids that town misunderstood
            G     A
They were great  ...  before we knew they were good
