[Intro ]A, E, C#m, B(x2)
A E
Seventeen, we owned those streets
C#m B
Parking lot, that was our spot
A E
Thats where wed always meet
C#m B
And wed roll on out in a pickup truck parade
A E C#m B
Stake our claim with a fire in a field in the middle of Nowhere, USA
A E C#m B
Wed light the midnight up
[Refrão]A E
We'd drive too fast
C#m B
We'd get too loud
A E C#m B
We thought we made the world go round
A E
Nothin but a bunch of time to kill
C#m B
Set up on the big hill
A E
Make a toast, drink it down
C#m B
Say, yeah man, we run this town
Repeats the same chords as first verse.
All the girls next door
Theyd meet us out there
They couldnt wait to get away
And come and let down their hair
We were rough around the edges
They were sweet as they could be
They were way too good
But they still let us steal a little kiss before theyd leave
Guess they thought we were cool because
Same as first Chorus
We'd drive too fast
We'd get too loud
Yeah, we thought we made the world go round
Drop it down in four-wheel
Set up on a big hill
And make a toast, drink it down
Say, yeah man, we run this town
A E
From crazy kids to dirt road kings
C#m
Oh, we didnt know nothin'
B A-E C#m B
But we knew everything
Same as before
(Chorus)
We'd drive too fast
We'd get too loud
We thought we made the world go round
Nothin but a bunch of time to kill
Set up on the big hill
Make a toast, drink it down
Say, yeah man, we run this town
A E
High five and look around
C#m B A,E,C#m,B
