Verse 1:
Gbm E A
When I was young, I fell in love
D E
We used to hold hands, man, that was enough -yeah-
Gbm E A
Then we grew up, started to touch
D E
Used to kiss underneath the light on the back of the bus -yeah-
Gbm E A
Oh no, your daddy didn't like me much
D E
And he didn't believe me when I said you were the one
Gbm E A D
Oh, every day she found a way out of the window to sneak out late
Chorus:
Gbm
She used to meet me on the Eastside
E A D
In the city where the sun don't set
E Gbm
And every day you know that we ride
E A D
Through the backstreets in a blue Corvette
E Gbm E
Baby, you know I just wanna leave tonight
A D
We can go anywhere we want
E Gbm E
Drive down to the coast, jump in the seat
A D
Just take my hand and come with me
Post-Chorus:
Gbm E A
We can do anything if we put our minds to it
D E
Take your whole life then you put a line through it
Gbm E A
My love is yours if you're willing to take it
D E
Give me your heart 'cause I ain't gonna break it
Gbm E A
So come away, starting today
D E
Start a new life, together in a different place
Gbm E A
We know that love is how these ideas came to be
D E
So baby, run away with me
Verse 2:
Gbm E A D
Seventeen and we got a dream to have a family
E
A house and everything in between
Gbm E A
And then, oh, suddenly we turned twenty-three
D E
Now we got pressure for taking our life more seriously
Gbm E A
We got our dead-end jobs and got bills to pay
D E
Have old friends and know our enemies
Gbm E A
Now I-, I'm thinking back to when I was young
D
Back to the day when I was falling in love
Chorus:
Gbm
He used to meet me on the Eastside
E A D
In the city where the sun don't set
