Verse 1
G 
C 
G 
C 
His
G 
brother had a Chevy Malibu
C 
I was sitting in the back seat
D 
On some dead end road
C 
We weren't supposed to know
G 
I remember thinking he would
break my heart
C 
I was green as an evergreen
D 
But I fell right in
C 
Never the same again
G 
Duran Duran on the radio
C 
The Wild Boys and the days of gold
D 
I was sitting on his right
On his left was a fresh tattoo
C 
And man
We were cool
G 

Verse 2
C 
G 
His daddy had a drinking problem
C 
My daddy worked way too hard
D 
And we were both running

C

G 
Killing time in a Walgreens parking lot
C

D

C

G

C 
Before we ever heard of the internet
D

G

And man
G 
We were cool

Slinging fast food
C 
All the French fries we could stand
D 
There was something in his eyes
C 
I could never quite define
G 
Then we'd race that V6 all night
C 
And I was like putty in his hands
D 
Memorizing back roads
C 
Till he had to take me home
G 
Duran Duran on the radio
C 
And those Wild Boys

D 
We had a baby on the way
C

But man
G 
We were cool

Verse 4
Em 
And we were gonna burn
D 
C

Em

G

C 
And time just slips away from you
D 
So you're staring at
