[Verse 1]
D
We played Heads Up in a car in Seattle
Bm
God rock on the radio
A
You look like a superstar
And Dom got into Juilliard
G
And I'm really bad at Heads Up, what Do you know?
D
My drummer fell for a girl in a cookie shop
Bm
He said he'd make a move and then he went with, "Excuse me?"
A
Came a boy and left a man
Gotta give it to the band
G
Greatest one in Oregon (Oregon)
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm G
And looking back, all I know is
[Chorus]
D
It was Friday nights, it was video gold
A
Oh, it was shining lights, it was rock 'n' roll
Bm
It was the band and I on a twelve-bed bus
G
And it was making it, messin' it up
D
It was endless roads in the same old boots
A
Oh, it was letting Go of everything but you
Bm
It was the band and I on a twelve-bed bus
G D
If we're livin' the dream, I hope we never wake up
[Verse 2]
D
Snowstorm in the middle of Texas
Bm
Called my mother in a Denny's and lied
A
Told her I've been needing them
Told her you were just a friend
G
Told her I was homesick
I hadn't thought of home twice
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm G
Driving and we drive again to an ocean
A
And I think I knew it then for a moment
[Chorus]
D
It was Friday nights, it was video gold
A
Oh, it was shining lights, it was rock 'n' roll
Bm
It was the band and I on a twelve-bed bus
G
And it was making it, messin' it up
D
It was endless roads in the same old boots
A
Oh, it was letting Go of everything but you
Bm
It was the band and I on a twelve-bed bus
G D
If we're livin' the dream, I hope we never wake up
A
I hope we never wake up
Bm
I hope we never wake up
G
I hope we never wake
[Bridge]
D
Two nights in the El Rey went flying
Bm
I'm twenty-one and I feel evergreen
A
The band Go home, I stay to write
We drive around, I stay the night
G
Guys, I'm pretty sure it's the American dream
[Verse 3]
D
It was changing clocks, it was Tina stoned
A
Oh, it was midnight stops at border control
Bm
Yeah, it was powercuts, it was certain doom
G
It was living in the Little Rock laundry room
D
Oh, it was breaking down, it was falling in love
A
In a gas station by the pick-up trucks
Bm
In Philadelphia, it was crystal clear
G
We are the best damn band that ever played right here
[Outro]
D
It was magic band, pure and strong
A
It was the last man standing for the Eagles song
Bm
It was a far flung wish when we were young
G D
Now we're living the dream and I hope we never wake up
