C   Cmaj7    Em    D
 
 
(NOTE:I would suggest you single strum this first verse)
 
[Verse]
                      Cmaj7
Yeah, I could see you right now
             Cmaj7

Friday night home team
                 Em                               D
Writing out "Go Bulldogs" in glass chalk on your Jeep
 
                 Cmaj7
I know you had a wild side
                          C
Probably snuck a beer or two
                 Em                                   D
I bet that every boy in school had a little crush on you, yeah
 
            Cmaj7                       Cmaj7
And all the yearbooks and pictures I've seen
           Em                    D
Girl, the only thing missing was me
 
 
[Chorus]
                 Cmaj7
If I knew you at eighteen
         C
We'd be mainstream
                  Em                      D
Windows down all summer singing "One Headlight"
                     Cmaj7
I could've been your perfect, nervous, first kiss
                Em                        D
Wishing that I could've kept you out all night
 
                   Cmaj7
The problem with forever
 
Is it ain't not long enough
                    Em                        D
I wish that I could go back and we'd fall in love
 
                  Cmaj7
Back when we were eighteen
 
                  Em
If I knew you at eighteen
           D
Eighteen, yeah
 
 
[Verse]
                         Cmaj7
Would've followed you to college
                      Cmaj7
Pissed off my mom and dad
       C                   Em                                    D
Well, they would say we're too young and I'd tell them it's too bad
 
                            Cmaj7
Would've saved you from the first time
                    Cmaj7
Somebody broke your heart
                     Em                                   D
You always would've been mine if I'd been there from the start
 
 
[Chorus]
                 Cmaj7
If I knew you at eighteen
 
We'd be mainstream
                  Em                      D
Windows down all summer singing "One Headlight"
                     Cmaj7
I could've been your perfect, nervous, first kiss
                Em                        D
Wishing that I could've kept you out all night
 
                   Cmaj7
The problem with forever
 
Is it ain't not long enough
                    Em                        D
I wish that I could go back and we'd fall in love
 
                  Cmaj7
Back when we were eighteen
 
                  Em
If I knew you at eighteen
           D
Eighteen, yeah

[Break]
               Cmaj7
A couple extra summers
 
I'll take what I can get
                      Em7
I would've loved you sooner
                      D
Baby, if we would've met
 
                  Cmaj7
Back when we were eighteen
 
          C
Back when we were eighteen
 
Eighteen yeah
 
 
[Chorus]
