Intro: D Bm A G
We were se[D]venteen and i[Bm]nvincible
Had the w[A]orld figured out
And the g[G]irl on my shoulder
Told me ev[D]erything's gonna be al[Bm]l right
And everyt[A]hing was gonna be all[G] right
Yeah,[D] maybe we were in hi[Bm]gh school
But you ne[A]ver see the ending
When you're y[G]oung and not pretending
Singing eve[D]rything's gonna be all[Bm] right
And everyth[A]ing was gonna be al[G]l right
Buried her d[G]eep inside, stars stuck i[A]n my eyes
Now she[G]'s got a boyfriend and I've [A]got a rock band
'Cause no[Bm]thing really ever goes the wa[A]y it's planned
Yeah, s[G]he's in Ohio and I'm[A] on some back road
D[Bm]riving to the city and t[A]hen who knows?
'Cause that's a[G]ll she wro[A]te
[D]I wish that I could [G]turn this car ar[Bm]ound
But she'[A]s got a boyfriend now
[D] [Bm] [A] [G]
(Same chords)
Then I took a trip out to LA
For the girl with a smile that could take your breath away
I'm thinking everything's gonna be all right
And everything was gonna be all right
Maybe I thought I could sweep in
And sweep her off her feet and go right back to Boston
Thinking everything's gonna be all right
And everything was gonna be all right
The streets keep holding on but now she's so far gone
Now she's got a boyfriend and I've got a rock band
'Cause nothing really ever goes the way it's planned
Yeah, she's on the West Coast and I'm on some back road
Driving to the city and then who knows?
'Cause that's all she wrote
I wish that I could turn this car around
But she's got a boyfriend now
BRIDGE:
T[G]ake me back to you somehow
And everything that I know now
It's so[A] hard, I tore u[Bm]s apart
T[G]ake me back to feeling
Like the world would just keep dealing
Me the ri[A]ght cards, now you're j[Bm]ust so far
(Same chords as the verse)
And I'm twenty three and invincible
Got the world figured out
And the bird on my shoulders
Told me everything's gonna be all right
When is everything gonna be all right?
Now she's got a boyfriend and I've got a rock band
'Cause nothing really ever goes the way it's planned
Yeah, she's in Ohio and I'm on some back road
Driving to the city and then who knows?
'Cause that's [G]all she w[A]rote
[D]I wish that I could t[G]urn this car around
'Cause there she g[A]oes
[D]I wish that I could p[G]ress rewind some[Bm]how
'Cause she's got a boyfriend now
She's got a boyfriend now
Yeah, she's got a boyfriend now
Take your, take your breath away
Take your, take your breath away
She's got a boyfriend now
We were se[D]venteen and i[Bm]nvincible
