I put the easy parts in for you,
but here's the rest of the song:


      D                   G
I was Ringo Starr of the dashboard drummers,
D                        G
You were turning up the radio.
D                      G
Sitting in the middle, playing the fiddle,
            D                      G
You were hotter than a summer back road.
          Em                       G
And it's crazy how I remember that perfectly


        D                       G
When we set sail away in a white Chevrolet
       D                        G
With a Jerry jet sticker on the glass.
       D                        G
We cut through the night like the KC lights
       D                        G
Knowing summertime wasn't gonna last
       Em                    G
And we swore that wouldn't matter
      Em                    G
And we'll stay like that together
          Em              G        D
But we're not, cause we're not 19 forever.

     D                        G
I remember the time you asked me for a ride,
   D                              G
If I could teach you how to drive stick.
    D                             G
You burned through the clutch and I burned to touch
      D                       G
Every tan line wrappin' your skin.
    Em                G
And I still see every memory.


        D                       G
When we set sail away in a white Chevrolet
       D                        G
With a Jerry jet sticker on the glass.
       D                        G
We cut through the night like the KC lights
       D                        G
Knowing summertime wasn't gonna last
       Em                    G
And we swore that wouldn't matter
      Em                    G
And we'll stay like that together
          Em           G        D
But we're not, no we're not 19 forever.

            D
And I still sing along
               Bm
With all those old songs
D       Em        G        Em        G
Well, I know it's wrong, I know it's wrong,
  D         G
I know it's wrong.
          D
I gotta move on.
