Verse1:
--------------------
The [Bm]boys are grinning from the photograph[E][A]
It's [Bm]Friday night and they're trying so hard[E][A]
The [Bm]sun is dropping and they want to go[E][A]
Dr[Bm]iving into town to see some girls they know[E][A]
--------------------
Chorus:
--------------------
The [E]boys, blazing on a summer [G]night
Girls they want to watch them [D]ride
Is that the way it was be[F#m]fore?
Cause [A]I don't remember
B[E]oys, friends at every bar in [G]town
Running all the good days [D]down
Is that the way it was be[F#m]fore?
Cause [A]I don't remember

Verse 2:
--------------------
We [Bm]felt like fighters when we caught the plane[E][A]
U[Bm]ntil that day we'd never heard its name[E][A]
We [Bm]did some things we didn't understand[E][A]
And [Bm]now we feel like strangers in our own land[E][A]

Chorus:

The [E]boys, blazing on a summer [G]night
Girls they want to watch them [D]fight
Is that the way it was be[F#m]fore?
Cause [A]I can't remember
B[E]oys, friends at every bar in [G]town
Running all the good days [D]down
Is that the way it was be[F#m]fore?
Cause [A]I can't remember[G]
--------------------
Bridge/Outro:
--------------------
[G]This photograph, I [D]hold it when I [A]sleep[G]
Cause people soon stop [D]asking[A][G]
When I cannot ex[D]plain what I have [A]seen
And at the bars in [G]town
All the boys in [E]town
Are running all the good days [G]down
Running all the good days [E]down
Running all the good days [G]down[E]
All the good days [Bm]down
