[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
D, D/C# , Bm
A/C# D
Before we knew they were good
