Butch Walker - Summer Of 89 Chords

[Intro]
A   D D A
O-oh-ooohh
A   E E A
O-oh-ooohh

[Verse 1]
A
Changing strings,
D
And banging on things
A                          E
A couple of girls from the school
A
Would listen to KISS
D
(With rockets for fists)
A           E         A
Acting like Saturdays fool

A
Learned how to smoke,
D
Told dirty jokes
A                             E
Talked about loose girls from Rome
A
I made out with most of them
D
So I raised a toast to them
A          E            A
Especially now that I'm old

[Bridge 1]
            D                         A          E
And they're 45 with husbands who don't like their wives
D                 A         E
3 or 4 kids, make enough to survive
D
In their paper mill jobs
A
While their teen heartthrobs
E
Are playing in bands
E
Or they're dead

[Chorus]
         A
Can I go back to when
D
I was the winner
A
Way before the rain came
E
And washed away the sinners
A
Everyone was something and
D                         E
Nothing was done right or wrong-ooh

[Verse 2]
A                    D
Smothering the cover of a '69 summer
A               E
Played through a speaker of fuzz
A           D
Nobody knew bryan adams wasn't cool
A                  E
The TV just told me he was
A                     D
Always heard the sound get me out of this town
A                E
Resonating clear on my head
A             D
Chuck ran away with our gear and the drugs
A              E
I'm pretty sure that he's dead

[Bridge 2]
D
Or he's 46 and alone,
            A          E
Cast the heaviest stone,
D                   A                  E
Suburban cover band playing bad to the bone
D                 A
In a bath tub of meth
E
You can smell your own death
E
You know when you can't look the past in the eye

[Chorus]
         A
Can I go back to when
D
I was the winner
A
Way before the rain came
E
And washed away the sinners
A
Everyone was something and
D                         E
(And I could never do any wrong)

[Verse]
A
Went back to the woods
D
Where I hid all my goods
A               E
In a rusted out cadillac door
A
we all get nostalgic
D
And fall for the hat trick
A                        E
Of thinking it'll be like before

[Bridge]
A
Like the football jocks
D
Trying to please their pops
A                     E
And the stoners aping everything their bad uncles taught
A
And the teachers who cared
D
Мore than I ever knew,
A
And knew I played clubs
E
Let me sleep through school
A
And my day job boss
D
Who wrote it up as a loss
A                              E
But let me leave when i wanted and I never got caught
A
Sleeping out on the field
D
In the back of my truck
A
Breaking into the bars
E
Steal the beer and getting f**ked
A                      D
By a girl twice my age, making minimum wage
A
But the tan lines were good
E
And she had a good face
A
Is this what I've become
D
Is this all I've become
A
When do I become
E
When do I become
A
When do I become
E
When do I become
A
When do I become
E
When do I become
A
When do I become
E
When do I become
A
When do I become
E
When do I become
A
When do I become
E
When do I become

[Chorus]
         A
Can I go back to when
D
I was the winner
A
Way before the rain came
E
And washed away the sinners
A
Everyone was something and
D                         E
And I could never do any wrong

[Outro]
A   D D A
O-oh-ooohh
A   E E A
O-oh-ooohh
