[Verse 1]
D
Oh country roads swerving
G
Singing along to the roustabouts
Bm F#m G D G
Oh, I'll never forget where I came from
G D
Misdirected youth passionately devout
A
To the city I hold dearly
G A
But everyone talks shit about
Bm
And I hear talks about leaving
A
Me, I never wanted out - I'd rather
D A G
stay and make something out of this town
Bm A D A G
We'll write our names in gasoline and burn them into the world
G Bm A G
Never thinking about what we would become
[Chorus]
D
We were young
G D
impressionable kids
Bm A G
Didn't know any better, didn't know any better than this
D
And our dreams
G D
they were our future
Bm A G Bm A D
And as far as I can see we'll be whatever we choose to be
[Interlude]
Bm G D
Woah! Woah!
[Verse 2]
Bm
We'll shake our fists at the morning sun
G D
Singing "glory glory hallelujah!"
Bm G
And I would give anything to feel the way I did back then
Bm
And I hear talks about leaving
A
But I never wanted out
D A G
I'd rather stay and make something out of this town
Bm A D A G
We'll write our names in gasoline and burn them into the world
G D A G
Never thinking about what we would become
[Chorus]
D
We were young
G D
impressionable kids
Bm A G
Didn't know any better, didn't know any better than this
D
And our dreams
G D
they were our future
Bm A G Bm A G
And as far as I can see we'll be whatever we choose to be
Bm A D
We'll be whatever we choose to be
[Solo]
Bm G D Bm A G
[Chorus]
D
We were young
G D
impressionable kids
Bm A G
Didn't know any better, didn't know any better than this
D
And our dreams
G D
they were our future
Bm A G Bm A G
And as far as I can see we'll be whatever we choose to be
Bm A G
We'll be whatever we choose to be

We'll be whatever we choose to be
[Outro]
Bm G D
Woah! Woah!

Woah! Woah!
