Intro: D D G Bm A/C#
Verse:
D
To this day when I hear that song,
D
I see you standing there on that lawn,
G
Discount shades, store bought tan,
Bm A
flip-flops and cut off jeans.
D
Somewhere between that setting sun,
D
I'm On Fire and Born To Run,
G
You looked at me and I was done,
Bm A/C#
but we were just getting started.
D
I was singing to you, you were singing to me,
D
I was so alive, never been more free,
G Bm A
Fired up my daddy's lighter and we sang oh-woah-oh-woah-ohh.
D
Stayed there till they forced us out,
D
We took the long way to your house,
G
And I can still hear the sound,
Bm A
Of you saying don't go.
Chorus:
D
When I think about you,
A
I think about 17,
Bm
I think about my old Jeep,
G
I think about the stars in the sky.
Bm A
Funny how a melody sounds like a memory,
D G Em A
Like a soundtrack to a July Saturday night,
G D A G D A
Springsteen.
Verse:
D
If I bumped in to you by happenstance,
D
You probably wouldn't even know who I am,
G
But if I whispered your name,
Bm A
I bet there'd still be a spark.
D D
From back when I was gasoline and this old tattoo had brand new ink,
G Bm A/C#
And we didn't care what your mom would think 'bout your name on my arm.
D
Baby is it spring or is it summer,
D
The guitar sound or the beat of that drummer,
G Bm A
You hear sometimes late at night on your radio.
D
Even though you're a million miles away,
D
When you hear Born In The USA,
G Bm A
Do you relive those Glory Days from so long ago?
Chorus:
D
When you think about me,
A
Do you think about 17,
Bm
Do you think about my old Jeep,
G
Think about the stars in the sky.
Bm A
Funny how a melody sounds like a memory,
D G Em A
Like a soundtrack to a July Saturday night,
G D A G D A
Springsteen. Springsteen.
Bridge:
D D G Bm A (2x)
Whoah-oh-oh-oh-oh, Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh, Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh, Ohh-ohh.
Ending:
D A
Funny how a melody sounds like a memory
Bm G Em A
Like a soundtrack to a July Saturday night
D D G Bm A
Springsteen,
D D G Bm A
Springsteen Oh Springsteen
D D G Bm A (4x)
Whoah-oh-oh-oh-oh, Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh, Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh, Ohh-ohh.
