[Intro]
G
[Verse]
G
I've got a friend who wears go-go boots to Sunday School
We used to sit and drink pink champagne on a tin roof
C
Ridin' it out in a Thunderbird
G
Singin' out loud every single word of Jack & Diane
Tryin' to pretend there was no rules
D
Kissin' on boys and sneakin' in bars
Am
Tryin' to get a glimpse of who we are
D C
We weren't wild, but we weren't far
[Chorus]
G Am C D
She said Thelma and Louise, you got nothin' on me
G C D C
And you can tell ol' James Dean to get in line
G Am C D
Thanks to Elvis and Kurt Cobain, the world will never be the same
C D G Bm G
You gotta make history one day at a time
[Verse]
G
She graduated in 1987
We were gonna make a break for it together
C
Headed out to Hollywood
Where the stars are bright and the weather's good
G
But she changed her mind and went back to the 7-11
D
She went and married the football star
Am
Had few kids and works real hard
D C
It ain't wild but it ain't far
[Chorus]
B A E
way too much to feel the danger
B A E
way too much to shield his heart
B A E
too far gone to ever wanna change her
E B A
cause he loves her way too much
E
way too much
[Instrumental]

Hey, Thelma and Louise, you got nothin' on me
G C D
And you can tell ol' James Dean to get in line

Thanks to Jesus and John Wayne the world will never be the same

You've gotta make history one day at a time
[Outro]

I'm with them, yeah, 'cause I believe
Am7 G
You gotta make history one day at a time
