        G                         Cadd9        G
Long before she was a mother or a lawyer or a wife

     Cadd9            G               D
That girl she was an anchor, bent on keeping me alive

        G                             Cadd9              G
It was summer, she was leaving, no we were not meant to last

           Cadd9             G               D
But on the floor next to my unmade bed, you couldn't tell us that yeah
[Chorus]
 G                            Cadd9                     G
Cigarette smoke, Natty light, bleach blonde girls on a Wednesday night

Cadd9                      G                    D
Good old friends, nothing much to do, it was a hell of a time and sad it's through

 G                                 Cadd9                           G
Cops showed up, we'd run and hide, half a fifth of bourbon by the bathroom light

Cadd9                   G                        D                               G
'Fore I had a dream to make come true, it was a hell of a time and I'm sad it's through
[Instrumental] G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 D [Verse]
        G                        Cadd9           G
As our mothers become angels, my brothers we survive

       Cadd9             G                  D
Now we raise up our own babies and beg the Lord to slow down time

          G                                     Cadd9              G
Come on, strap in boys, we're drinking like it's two thousand and five

       Cadd9               G            D
I know that we'll crash tomorrow but tonight we're flying high yeah
[Chorus]
 G                            Cadd9                     G
Cigarette smoke, Natty light, bleach blonde girls on a Wednesday night

Cadd9                      G                    D
Good old friends, nothing much to do, it was a hell of a time and sad it's through

 G                                 Cadd9                           G
Cops showed up, we'd run and hide, half a fifth of bourbon by the bathroom light

Cadd9                   G                        D                               G
'Fore I had a dream to make come true, it was a hell of a time and I'm sad it's through
]Break]
                     Em
Someone misplaced a sundress

              C                        G
The Queen of Fort Payne, Alabama, was not impressed

Cadd9                G
 She knew us well enough to guess

       D
Which one of us had sinned
[Instrumental] G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 D [Chorus]
       G                            Cadd9                     G
Yeah, cigarette smoke, Natty light, bleach blonde girls on a Wednesday night

Cadd9                      G                    D
Good old friends, nothing much to do, it was a hell of a time and sad it's through

 G                                 Cadd9                           G
Cops showed up, we'd run and hide, half a fifth of bourbon by the bathroom light

Cadd9                   G                        D                               G
'Fore I had a dream to make come true, it was a hell of a time and I'm sad it's through
Yeah [Outro/Instrumental] G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 D G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 D
