[Intro] Cadd9 D x2 [Verse 1]
           Cadd9
I held the keys to that old Chevrolet

        D                    G
And you held the keys to my heart

            Cadd9
I'd throw a fit, hit the dash, get out and kick the tire

          D                           G
When that old piece of junk wouldn't start

            Cadd9
It'd be smokin good, I'd slam down the hood

        D                         G
Just to see you there laughin at me

             Cadd9
On the other side of a dirty windshield

          D                    G
Lookin as pretty as you could be
[Chorus]
        Am           Em
We sure saw a lot of miles

           D                    G
Never even crossed that county line

           Am                 Em
I would've bet the farm, gave my right arm

   C               G
So you'd always be mine

       Am
Did we crash and burn

    Em
Or make a wrong turn

   D              G
Or run out of gasoline

       Am              D        
I lost you around 3rd gear and 17
Cadd9 D [Verse 2]
       Cadd9
In the blink of an eye high school flew by

             D               G
You went your way and I went mine

            Cadd9
But we swore we'd make it our love could take it

    D                          G
400 miles could stand the test of time

    Cadd9
I left that fall to play college ball

         D                          G
But my dreams would all come to an end

                 Cadd9 
Cuz you know the big leagues never called

                 D                 G
And you went and fell in love with him
[Chorus]
        Am           Em
We sure saw a lot of miles

           D                    G
Never even crossed that county line

           Am                 Em
I would've bet the farm, gave my right arm

   C               G
So you'd always be mine

       Am
Did we crash and burn

    Em
Or make a wrong turn

   D              G
Or run out of gasoline

       Am              D       
I lost you around 3rd gear and 17
Cadd9 D [Solo] Am Em C G Am Em [Bridge]
D                                   Am
Memories flash through my mind like old faded photographs

        Cadd9
I still think about you in that red Malibu

       D                  G
And I just can't help but laugh
[Chorus]
        Am           Em
We sure saw a lot of miles

           D                    G
Never even crossed that county line

           Am                 Em
I would've bet the farm, gave my right arm

   C               G
So you'd always be mine

       Am
Did we crash and burn

    Em
Or make a wrong turn

   D            G
Or run out of gasoline

       Am              D       C
I lost you around 3rd gear and 17

           D                         Cadd9
Love broke down, around 3rd gear and 17

       D                        Cadd9
I lost you, around 3rd gear and 17
