[Intro]
G / / C | C / / / | x4
[Verse 1]
G C
We snuck in the back of that college town frat
G C
'Cause they wouldn't let us in the front
G C
Threw their Miller time keg in a Chevrolet bed
G C
And we let them horses run
Em D/F#
Cut a path through the grass yellin', "Kiss my ass"
G C
With middle finger in the wind
Em D/F#
We laughed, we drank, every now and then I think
C
Man, I'd love to do that again
[Chorus]
G C
Those were some good times
G C
Those were the best nights
G C
Thе freedom you feel when you're learnin' to fly
G C
And thе song on the radio was singin' our lives
G C Em D/F#
I can't say that the moon in the sky was shinin' any brighter than it is tonight
G C
But it looked on fire back then
Em
It probably wasn't
D/F# G C
But it seemed a little better back when
[Break]
G / / C | C / / / |
[Verse 2]
G C
Gravel out spot by the porta-John's
G C
'Bout a quarter mile from the door
G C
Worked three weeks for a pair of cheap seats
G C
To hear "Never wanted nothing more"
Em D/F#
We were feelin' that buzz from a summertime love
G C
And a bottle tucked in a boot
Em D/F#
It's crazy to think that lookin' back now
C
But back then, we never knew
[Chorus]
G C
Those were some good times
G C
Those were the best nights
G C
Thе freedom you feel when you're learnin' to fly
G C
And thе song on the radio was singin' our lives
G C Em D/F#
I can't say that the moon in the sky was shinin' any brighter than it is tonight
G C
But it looked on fire back then
Em
It probably wasn't
D/F# G C
But it seemed a little better back when
[Solo]

Am G/B C
I ain't sayin' that right now ain't right where I wanna be
Am G/B D
But I swear time adds a little shine to a long gone memory
[Chorus]
G C
Those were some good times
G C
Those were the best nights
G C
Thе freedom you feel when you're learnin' to fly
G C
And thе song on the radio was singin' our lives
G C Em D/F#
I can't say that the moon in the sky was shinin' any brighter than it is tonight
G C
But it looked on fire back then
Em
It probably wasn't
D/F# G C
But it seemed a little better back when
