 C                      G
Sit down with an old friend

      Am                    F
Like time had never stopped

           C               G
From the cradle to the coffin

     Am                F
We drink until we drop

           C                           G                   Am     F
Yeah, we grew up on the same street, small town under the hill, yeah

      C                              G                         Am   F
But dreams get lost and buried down deep inside the soil there,   yeah

All day, all night

Keep pressing rewind

All day, all night

[Chorus]
         C
We were young, we were wild

         G
We were halfway free

         Am                   F 
We were kids on the run on a dead-end street

         C                   G
Looking back in my rearview mirror

              Am                       F
You know the view used to be much clearer

        C                            G
But we laugh and we cry til there's no more tears

        Am                    F               C      G
Yeah tonight can we just hold on to those 18 years?

    Am    F
18 years
[Verse 2]
 C                        G
Some ran down the highway

     Am                    F
To chase away their ghosts

           C                  G   
Some are frozen in the same place

      Am                      F
This town inside their bones

            C                  G                    Am      F
Remember throwing TV's off the overpass on to the tracks, yeah

      C                          G                         Am     F
But trains roll on through the small towns and never look back, yeah

All day, all night

     F
I remember

     C
All day, all night

       G
Keep pressing rewind

We were kids on the run on a dead-end street

          C                        G
We were building a bridge out of broken dreams

          Am                           F
We were crashing like cars and we were 18
[Chorus]
