VERSE 1:
               D5     G5
Can you believe it?
             D5                G5 
It's been almost ten years now
                     D5       G5
And I'm getting that feeling
          A5
As we're driving 'round this town
                   D5           G5
Passing by the old school yard
         D5                    G5
Everything just looks so small
                         D5       G5
Before the drums and the guitars
          A5
Way back when we knew it all
            E5 (strum once)
And she's sitting right next to me her hand in the wind
          G5 (strum once)
In that old white Cherokee I grew up in
             D5 (strum once)
Yeah it's crazy
                 A5
Crazy but it's true


CHORUS:
           G5           D5                   A5
That you never get a second chance at the first time
G5              D5          A5
We will never be eighteen again
        G5            D5                   A5 
No you never get a second chance at the first time 
G5               D5                 A5
It's so good to see you my old friend
A5                         G5
It's good to see you again 


*****Same chords through verse and chorus*****

VERSE 2:
Can you believe it? 
How much everything has changed?
Well they shut down the old diner
And they put in some new chain
You know it''s so good to see you
Ma, your hair had got so long
It feels like it's been forever
Used to sing you that old song
With you sitting right next to me your hand in the wind
In that old white Cherokee I grew up in
Yeah, it's crazy
Crazy cause it's true

CHORUS:
That you never get a second chance at the first time
We will never be eighteen again
No you never get a second chance at the first time 
It's so good to see you my old friend
It's good to see you again  

          E5                                G5
Well you know they say that growing up is hard
                  D5                            A5
It's so hard to think of how we almost got so far
         E5                                G5
Do you remember on the night of our first kiss?
              D5                             A5
Baby didn?t it feel just a little bit like this?
           E5 (strum once)
With you sitting right next to me your hand in the wind
         G5 (strum once)
In that old white Cherokee I grew up in
          D5 (strum once)
Yeah it's crazy
                     A5
Crazy cause it's true

CHORUS:
No you never get a second chance at the first time
We will never be eighteen again
No you never get a second chance at the first time 
It's so good to see you my old friend
It's good to see you again
