                Dm Bb G C 
Jamie's in love
         C          Dm                       Bb                G  C
She's got the summer blowing through her hair
      C          Dm Bb C
She turns it up
      C         Dm                       Bb           G  C
She says tonight you take me anywhere


     C          Dm Bb G C
Bobby's in luck
    C       Dm             Bb      G       C
He got a fire burning in his eyes
     C          Dm Bb G C
He turns it up
       C           Dm                Bb         G
And he says girl you better hold on tight


G                         D
'Cause this is the real thing
                      A
Love changes everything
                 G
This is the night when every heart's exploding
       D
The real thing
                      A
Slow down it's happening
                                   G
'Cause you got time to burn in the heat of the moment
       D
That summer radio
      A
Fireworks off the patio
    G                             G
A 3 AM string of green lights in a row
            D
And the real thing
                       A
Love can change anything
                D   A   G
If you can just let go (let's go!)


Dm Bb G C x2


             Dm Bb G C
Jamie's alive
        C           Dm                           Bb        C
She's got him rushing through her veins tonight
     C        Dm Bb C 
So hit the lights
    C           Dm                Bb         C
It feels too good to ever say goodbye


G                         D
'Cause this is the real thing
                      A
Love changes everything
                 G
This is the night when every heart's exploding
       D
The real thing
                      A
Slow down it's happening
                                   G
'Cause you got time to burn in the heat of the moment
       D
That summer radio

And the real thing
                       A

Whoa
D                                          D             A
Can't pull the brakes on this runaway train
           A     D
'Cause whoa 
D                                     D              A     G
This is the heartache that won't go away

Jamie's in love
         C          Dm                       Bb                G  C
