[Ab]
[Db]
[F] Here in this diary, [Eb] I write you visions of my [Ab] summer.
[Db] It was the best I ever had.
There were [Fm] choruses and sing-alongs, [Eb] and that
has broken feelers [Db] of knowing that right now is all that matters.
[F] Of the nights we stayed [Eb] up talking, listening [Ab] to 80 songs,
recording [Db] lines from all those movies that [Fm] we love.
It [Ab] still brings a smile to [Db] my face.
[Bb] [Bbm] I guess [Db] when it comes down to it,
[F] being [Eb] grown up
[Ab] isn't half as fun [Db] as growing [F] up.
These are [Eb] the best days of [Db] our lives.
[F] The only thing [Eb] that matters is [Ab] just following [Db] your heart,
and [F] eventually [Eb] you'll finally get it [Ab] right.
[F] Breaking into hotels, [Ebm] swimming pools, and we can have [Ab] it gone,
oh, whoa.
[Db] Hanging out at truck stops just to pass [Fm] the time.
The bird [Ab] tops singing, me [Db] too, see.
[F] Lighting fireworks [Eb] in parking lots, illuminate [Ab] the blackest nights.
[Db] Cherry cokes under this moonlit [Fm] summer sky.
2015 [Eb] [Ab] Riverside, it's time to [Db] say goodbye.
[Bb] [Bbm] Get [Db] on the bus, it's time to [F] go.
Being [Eb] grown up [Ab] isn't half as fun [Db] as growing [F] up.
These [Eb] are the best days of [Db] our lives.
[F] The only thing [Eb] that matters is [Ab] just following [Db] your heart,
[F] and eventually [Eb] you'll finally [Ab] get it right.
Get [Db] it right.
[Fm] [Ab] Get [Db] it right.
[F] Being [Eb] grown up [Ab] isn't half as [Db] fun as growing [F] up.
These [Eb] are the best days [Db] of our lives.
[F] The only [Eb] thing that matters [Ab] is just following [Db] your heart,
[F] and eventually [Eb] you'll finally [Db] get it right.
[Fm] Being [Eb] grown up [Ab] isn't half as fun as growing [Fm] up.
These [Eb] are the best days [Db] of our lives.
[Fm] The only [Eb] thing that matters [Ab] is just following your heart,
[Fm] and eventually [Eb] you'll finally get [Db] it right.
