Tom: Em
Em D G C
When I was young, I fell in love
C D
We used to hold hands, man, that was enough (yeah)
Em D G C
Then we grew up, started to touch
C D
Used to kiss underneath the light on the back of the bus (yeah)
Em D G C
Oh no, your daddy didn't like me much
C D
And he didn't believe me when I said you were the one
Em D G C D
Oh, every day she found a way out of the window to sneak out late
[Chorus]
Em
She used to meet me on the Eastside
D G C
In the city where the sun don't set
C D Em
And every day you know that we ride
D G C
Through the backstreets of a blue Corvette
C D Em D
Baby, you know I just wanna leave tonight
G C
We can go anywhere we want
C D Em D
Drive down to the coast, jump in the seat
G C
Just take my hand and come with me
[Post-Chorus]
Em D G C
We can do anything if we put our minds to it
C D
Take your whole life then you put a line through it
Em D G C
My love is yours if you're willing to take it
C D
Give me your heart 'cause I ain't gonna break it
Em D G
So come away, starting today
C D
Start a new life, together in a different place
Em D G C
We know that love is how these ideas came to be
C D
So baby, run away with me
[Verse 2]
Em D G C
Seventeen and we got a dream to have a family
C D
A house and everything in between
Em D G C
And then, oh, suddenly we turned twenty-three
C D
Now we got pressure for taking our life more seriously
Em D G C
We got our dead-end jobs and got bills to pay
C D
Have old friends and know our enemies
Em D G C
Now I-, I'm thinking back to when I was young
C
Back to the day when I was falling in love
[Chorus]
Em
He used to meet me on the Eastside
D G C
In the city where the sun don't set
C D Em
And every day you know that we ride
D G C
Through the backstreets of a blue Corvette
C D Em D
Baby, you know I just wanna leave tonight
G C
We can go anywhere we want
C D Em D
Drive down to the coast, jump in the seat
G C
Just take my hand and come with me
Singing
[Post-Chorus]
Em D G C
We can do anything if we put our minds to it
C D
Take your whole life then you put a line through it
Em D G C
My love is yours if you're willing to take it
C D
Give me your heart 'cause I ain't gonna break it
Em D G C
So come away, starting today
C D
Start a new life, together in a different place
Em D G C
We know that love is how these ideas came to be
C D
So baby, run away with me
[Bridge]
Em
Run away, now
D
Run away, now
G
Run away, now
C
Run away, now
C
Run away, now
D
Run away, now
[Outro]

He used to meet me on the Eastside
C D Em
She used to meet me on the Eastside
D G C
In the city where the sun don't set
