VERSE 1: DG Can you believe it? DG It's been almost ten years now DG And I'm getting that feeling A As we're driving 'round this town DG Passing by the old school yard DG Everything just looks so small DG Before the drums and the guitars A Way back when we knew it all Em (strum once) And she's sitting right next to me her hand in the wind G (strum once) In that old white Cherokee I grew up in D (strum once) Yeah it's crazy A Crazy but it's true
CHORUS: GDA That you never get a second chance at the first time GDA We will never be eighteen again GDA No you never get a second chance at the first time GDA It's so good to see you my old friend AG It's good to see you again
*****Same chords through verse and chorus*****

Well they shut down the old diner And they put in some new chain You know it''s so good to see you Ma, your hair had got so long It feels like it's been forever Used to sing you that old song With you sitting right next to me your hand in the wind In that old white Cherokee I grew up in Yeah, it's crazy Crazy cause it's true
CHORUS: That you never get a second chance at the first time We will never be eighteen again No you never get a second chance at the first time It's so good to see you my old friend It's good to see you again
EmG Well you know they say that growing up is hard DA It's so hard to think of how we almost got so far EmG Do you remember on the night of our first kiss? DA Baby didn’t it feel just a little bit like this? Em (strum once) With you sitting right next to me your hand in the wind G (strum once) In that old white Cherokee I grew up in D (strum once) Yeah it's crazy A Crazy cause it's true
CHORUS: No you never get a second chance at the first time We will never be eighteen again No you never get a second chance at the first time It's so good to see you my old friend It's good to see you again
