Intro: G C
Verse
G C
The rain is coming down tonight
G
I'm smiling looking at this photograph
C
I hear that song and I'm flying right back
G
To when we had it made
C
Every Friday night when the sun went down
G D
We'd be running them streets like we owned the town
Pre-Chorus
G C
And I just can't let it go, no, I just can't let it go
G C D
I wonder if you ever think about it like I do
G
Seven kids on my two lane road
C
Had the guns on the radio
Em D
After all this time it still feels, feels so good
[Refrão] G C
When I think about those summer nights
G Em D
Singing out the window, on the back roads, Sweet Child of Mine
G C
Sipping on the local's spark of light
C D
Ain't it funny how the best days of my life
G C G C
Was all that wasted time, all that wasted time
verse 2
G C
Out of nowhere, it slipped away
G
And the rope by the river hangs silently\
C G
And the town that I knew ain't nothing like it used to be
G C
Ah, I can't explain
C
They took all the color from the picture frame
G D
And the days got sold to the ? and the game
Pre-Chorus
G C
And I just can't let it go, no, I just can't let it go
G C D
I wonder if you ever think about it like I do
G
Seven kids on my two lane road
C
Had the guns on the radio
Em D
After all this time it still feels, feels so good
[Refrão] G C
When I think about those summer nights
G Em D
Singing out the window, on the back roads, Sweet Child of Mine
G C
Sipping on the local's spark of light
C D
Ain't it funny how the best days of my life
G C G C
Was all that wasted time, all that wasted time
Bridge
Hey, hey, now
G
Summer dresses rained on the hood of the car
C G
Only music that we had was out the left speaker
G C
We were living every second 'til the time ran out
G C
We had nothing but we had it all
[Refrão] G C
When I think about those summer nights
G Em D
Singing out the window, on the back roads, Sweet Child of Mine

Sipping on the local's spark of light
C D
Ain't it funny how the best days of my life

Was all that wasted time, all that wasted time
