[Intro] A D x4 [Verse 1]
        A             D
Raising  hell in Wayne county

       A             D
With a copper on our tail

       A                 D
Hopin  that he drives on by me

                 A                               D
But knowin'  this town he' ll probably throw us in jail
[Verse 2]
              A               D
We' re both so paranoid in our hometown

                A                        D
There's so much unclaimed baggage at the carousels

                 A                              D
And though we' re guilty of nothing we feel like fugitives running

            A                                         D
Towards the Great White North or a border town in Mexico
[Pre-Chorus]
               E                  F#m
There's former you, there's former me

              E                    D
We're tellin'  tales of revisionist history

  A                             D              E
I remember the days we couldn' t hardly wait to end
[Chorus]
      F#m            E         D           A
I was gettin' fucked up with a high school friend

D                       E          F#m
Wondering  where all the good times went

      F#m            E         D           A
I was getting ' fucked up with a high school friend

D                                  A
Wonderin'  where all the good times went
A D x2 [Verse 3]
        A                         D
We left town the minute we turned 18

            A                        D
We moved to different corners of the country

            A                     D
Now we come back for holidays and funerals

            A                                    D
So much has changed but Wayne county 's still the same
[Pre-Chorus]
               E        F#m
Drivin'  down one ninety one

              E          D
There's an old memory of someone

     A                       D                    E
As a little white cross just popping out from the bend
[Chorus]

I was gettin' fucked up with a high school friend

D                                  A
Wonderin'  where all the good times went

              F#m          D            E               A  A/G#
Don' t let the overwhelming sorrow shred all hopes of tomorrow

              F#m     D                E
Donâ t let em tell you how to live your life

                F#m          D             E             A  A/G#
Cause they may never understand but it's okay because I do

        F#m             D                     E 
We know all the ups and downs each other have been through

I was getting ' fucked up with a high school friend

D                                  A
Wonderin'  where all the good times went
