(Capo 2)
Intro (G, Gsus2) x 3
G
I still think about us
and the rush that we felt
With the ragtop down
and the radio blastin'
G
You were riding shotgun
in nothing but a bikini and seatbelt
Looking better than the
law should've been allowing
[Refrão]D Em
Hit the corner goin' 90
C
Lovin' blindly fallin',
G G/F# Em
head over heels over you
Em C
Every feeling that we felt
D
was a feeling that felt brand new
Em Am
And, you look just like an angel
G D
that cross on your necklace
Am D
You were young, I was wild
G
we were reckless
(G, Gsus2) x 4
G
We drive on down to the river
burnin' up those hot summer nights
Laughing at the cowboys gettin'
crazy, and pickin' fights
G
It wasn't funny, that deputy caught
you and me, steamin' up those windows
And how your daddy never found out
about it honey, heaven only knows
Chorus
Guitar and fiddle solo
(Chorus chords)
G
I looked into your eyes and I
promised you forever
And I believed it with all my heart
I just didn't know any better
G
Gettin' over you took years
(I'll spot)? those tears I cried
And I'd do it all over again
all for the thrill of the ride
Chorus
Young, wild, and reckless
(G, Gsus2) fade out
