Chords

As recorded by The Doobie Brothers (From the 2021 Album LIBERTE) [Intro] G [Verse 1]
G
I keep trying, I'd be lying

           Dm7              F
'Cause I'm holding onto the memory

       G
I keep crying, slowly dying

  Dm7                   F
I keep on running but I can't break free

C                                 G
Summer nights keep playing in my mind

G
Baby, baby

C                           D
So give me back that wasted time...
[Pre-Chorus]
         G                Am
With the top down and the radio on

        F              C
We were dancin' in the streets

G                Am
Simple times and crossin' lines

        F                C
We were wild and we were free
[Chorus]
G                      Am
Finding the answers in black and white

        F              C
We were young and we believed

   G                   Am
So take my hand on the boulevard

             F
'Cause we're looking for

C N.C.       G
The American dream

G
Dream, dream, dream
[Verse 2]
G
Pull me close, don't let go

      Dm7                      F
Let's find our way back to the innocence

      G
And I know you're not alone

     Dm7                            F
When things go fast yeah we'll take it slow

C                                G
Summer nights keep playing in my mind

G
Baby, baby

                            D
So give me back that wasted time...
[Pre-Chorus]
         G                Am

G                Am
Simple times and crossin' lines

        F                C
We were wild and we were free
[Chorus]
G                      Am
Finding the answers in black and white

        F              C
We were young and we believed
