Intro: Am     G


Verse:
         Am                       G
I took a drive today, I thought about you.
                Am                                      G
Thought about a friend who passed, and how much we just went through.
          Am                          C   G
I saw the sun shine off the hood of a cadillac,
            Am                           F5           G
I thought about some things I'd say, and some I would take back.
  Am                G                   Am
I thought about how fortunate I feel to be alive.


Chorus:
              F5                     G
And if you're scared of the future tonight,
                   Am   G/Am          F5
We'll just take it each hour one at a time.
       G                       Am
It's a pretty good night for a drive,
                C                  G
So dry up those eyes, dry up those eyes.
            F5                    G
Because the radio will still play loud,
              Am           G/Am        F5
Songs that we heard as our guards came down.
            G                        Am
Like in the summertime when we first met,
               C                G
I'll never forget, don't you forget,
                       Am
These nights are still ours.


Intro:  Am       G


Verse:
                 Am
I still love the way you smile.
                 G
I still love the ocean.
          Am                                         G
We should remember to slow down more often, maybe we will.
          Am                       C             G
There's a lotta good things coming our way right now.
  Am                          F5           G
A lotta bad had passed but we survived the breakdowns.
Am               G
All is forgiven, water under bridges now.

Chorus:
              F5                     G
And if you're scared of the future tonight,
                   Am   G/Am          F5
We'll just take it each hour one at a time.
       G                       Am
It's a pretty good night for a drive,
                C                      G
So dry up those eyes, and dry up those eyes.
            F5                    G
Because the radio will still play loud,
              Am           G/Am        F5
Songs that we heard as our guards came down.
            G                        Am
Like in the summertime when we first met,
               C                G
I'll never forget, don't you forget,
                       C
These nights are still ours.


Bridge:   
C               
Woah, wo-oh-oh-oh
G               
Woah, wo-oh-oh-oh
Am               
Woah, wo-oh-oh-oh
F5

(repeat)

Chorus:
              F5                     G
And if you're scared of the future tonight,
                   Am   G/Am          F5
We'll just take it each hour one at a time.
       G                       Am
It's a pretty good night for a drive,
                C                      G
So dry up those eyes, and dry up those eyes.
            F5                    G
Because the radio will still play loud,
              Am           G/Am        F5
Songs that we heard as our guards came down.
            G                        Am
Like in the summertime when we first met,
               C                G
I'll never forget, don't you forget,
                       C
These nights are still ours.
