[G] [Am]
[Em] [G] [Am]
[G] [Am] [G] Well, I lived [D] on [Am] Aska's [G] death In a [Am] room far away, [G] baby
With my [Am] brothers and friends around [G] There was [A] always something [Em] to it
And a couple of [Bm] real nice girlfriends [Am] I thought you'd see me [C] every once in a while
[Em] When I think back [Bm] about those days [Am] All I can do [C] is sit and
[G] smile
That's [Am] when smoke was pouring [G] And [Am] groovin' was groovin'
[G] Dancing [Am] and everything We [G] were [Am] young and we were [G] improving
Laughing, laughing [Am] with our friends
[G] Holding hands [Am] meant something, [G] baby
Outside the [Am] club, cherry [G] bomb My [C] heart's a pretty thing
[G] Say yeah, yeah, yeah [Am] Say yeah, yeah, [G] yeah
[Am]
[G] [Am] [G]
The weird things, [D] [Am] they last [G] forever But the weekends went [Am] by so [G] quick
We're riding around [Am] Little Country Town
[G]
We were going nuts, girl, [Am] out in the [Em] sticks One night, me with [Bm] my big mouth
[Am] Couple guys had to put me [C] in my [Em] place When I see those [Bm] guys these days
We [Am] just laughed and said, you [C] remember [G]
when?
[Am] That's when smoke was [G]
pouring And groovin' was [B] [Am] groovin'
[G]
Dancing and [Am] everything [G]
We were [Am] young and we were [G] improving
Laughing, laughing [Am] with our friends [G]
Holding hands meant [Am] something, [G] baby
Outside the [Am] club, cherry [Em] bomb [G]
Our hearts [Em] were ready [Am] for [G] a win
Say yeah, yeah, yeah Say [Am] yeah, [G] yeah, yeah

[G] Seventeen [Am] half done, thirty [G]-five I'm [Am] surprised that we're still living
[G] If we're done, [Am] then it's on
[G] I [Am] hope that we're forgiven
[Em] Got a few [Bm] kids of my own [Am] Some days I still [C] don't know what to do
[Em] I hope that they're [Bm] not laughing too loud [Am] When they hear me talking like [C] this to [G] you
That's when [Am] smoke was [G] pouring And groovin' [D] was [Am] groovin'
[G] Dancing [Am] and everything [G] We were young [Am] and we were [G] improving
