Tom : D
[Intro]
A C#m D Dm A C#m
As I sit in this smokey room the night about to end
G D
I pass my time with strangers, but the bottle's my only friend
A C#m
Remember when we used to park on Butler Street out in the dark
G D
Remember when we lost the keys and you lost more than that in my back seat, baby
A C#m
Remember when we used to talk about busting out, we'd break their hearts
G D A C#m D Dm
E|------------------------9-----9h10--9-------| 9h10-9-----------|
G D G D
Together forever
A C#m
Say goodbye, never say goodbye
D Dm
You and me and my old friends, hoping it would never end
A C#m
Say goodbye, never say goodbye
D Dm
Holding on we got to try, holding on to never say goodbye
A C#m
Remember days of skipping school, racing cars and being cool
G D
With a six pack and a radio, we didn't need no place to go
A C#m
Remember at the prom that night, you and me we had a fight
G D
But the band they played our favorite song and I held you in my arms so strong
A C#m
We danced so close, we dance so slow, and I swore I'd never let you go
[Solo] A C#m D Dm G

Oh I guess you'd say we used to talk about busting out we'd break their hearts

Together. Forever
