Intro
C# F# C# F#
[Verse 1]
C#
Passed out on the overpass
F#
Sunday best and broken glass
C#
Broken down from the bikes and bars
F#
Suspended like spirits over speeding cars
D#m C#
You and me were kings over the parkway tonight
D#m G#
And tonight will go on forever while we
C#
walk around this town like we own the streets
F#
and stay awake through summer like we own the heat
C#
Singing "everybody wake up (wake up) it's time to get down"
D#m
(everybody, everybody wake up its time to get down)
F#
And when I pass the bottle back to Pete
C# D#m D---
on the overpass tonight, I bet we laugh
[Chorus]
F#
I'm gonna stay eighteen forever (cut me open)
C#
So we can stay like this forever (sun poisoned)
D#m
And we'll never miss a party (this offer...)
G#
cause we keep them going constantly (...stands forever)
F#
And we'll never have to listen (new haircut)
C#
to anyone about anything (new bracelet)
D#m
cause it's all been done and it's all been said (eyeliner)
D---
we're the coolest kids and we take what we can get
[Verse 2]
C#
The hell out of this town
F#
Find some conversation
C#
The low fuel lights been on for days
F#
It doesn't mean anything
D#m G#
I've got another 500, 'nother 500 miles
C# D#m
before we shut this engine down,
D---
(we shut it down)
[Chorus] x2
[Outro]
C#
Just jealous cause we're young and in love
F#
You're just jealous cause we're young and in love
C#
You're just jealous cause we're young and in love
F#
You're just jealous cause we're young and in love
C#
You're just jealous cause we're young and in love
F# END ON C#
You're just jealous...
**in the last chorus they say different stuff in the background (same main lyrics
though) so in case you want that here it is (same notes as regular chorus):
(you're just jealous cause I'm young and in love)
Eighteen forever (first kisses)
(your stomach's filled up but you're starved for conversation)
So we can stay like this forever (new stitches)
(you're spending all your nights growing old in your bed)
And we'll never miss a party (collar weekend)
(and your tearin up your photos cause you wanna forget... it's over)
cause we keep them going constantly (appearance ticket)
(you're just jealous cause I'm young and in love)
And we'll never have to listen (November to...)
(your stomach's filled up but you're starved for conversation)
to anyone about anything cause it's all been done (...remember)
(you're spending all your nights growing old in your bed)
and it's all been said (nightswimmers)
(and your tearin up your photos cause you wanna forget... it's over)
we're the coolest kids and we take what we can get
