[Intro] Em G x4 [Verse 1]
        Em             G
Raising  hell in Wayne county

       Em             G
With a copper on our tail

       Em                 G
Hopin  that he drives on by me

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

                Em                        G
There's so much unclaimed baggage at the carousels

                 Em                             G
And though we' re guilty of nothing we feel like fugitives running

            Em                                         G
Towards the Great White North or a border town in Mexico
[Pre-Chorus]
               D                  Em
There's former you, there's former me

              D                    C
We're tellin'  tales of revisionist history

  G                             C              D
I remember the days we couldn' t hardly wait to end
[Chorus]
      Em            D         C           Em
I was gettin' fucked up with a high school friend

C                       D          Em
Wondering  where all the good times went

      Em            D         C           G
I was getting ' fucked up with a high school friend

C                                  
Wonderin'  where all the good times went
Em G Em G [Verse 3]
        Em                         G
We left town the minute we turned 18

            Em                       G
We moved to different corners of the country

            Em                     G
Now we come back for holidays and funerals

            Em                                    G
So much has changed but Wayne county 's still the same
[Pre-Chorus]
               D        Em
Drivin'  down one ninety one

              D          C
There's an old memory of someone

     G                       C                    D
As a little white cross just popping out from the bend
[Chorus]
      Em            D         C           Em
I was gettin' fucked up with a high school friend

Wonderin'  where all the good times went

              Em          C            D               G  G/F#
Don' t let the overwhelming sorrow shred all hopes of tomorrow

              Em     C                D
Donâ t let em tell you how to live your life

                Em          C             D             G  G/F#
Cause they may never understand but it's okay because I do

        Em             C                     D
We know all the ups and downs each other have been through
[Chorus]

I was getting ' fucked up with a high school friend

C                                  
Wonderin'  where all the good times went
