[G] [C] [F]
[G] [C] Guess you're old [F] enough to know, [G] [C] the [F] kids out on the East [G] Coast, [C] roughly [F] 20 years [G] old,
[C] they got coaxed [F] out by a certain perfect [G] ratio.
[C]
[F] Warm beer [G] to the summer [C] smoke, [F] and the meatloaf to [G] the Billy Joel.
[C]
[F] Certain songs, [G] they get so scratched [C] into our souls.
[F] [G] [C] She goes low on her seats when [G] she gets high in [C] her car.
[F] [C] She looks shallow, but she's [F] neck deep in the steamy [G] dreams of the guys who [C] own the harbor bars.
[F] [G] [C]
[F] Without her shirt [G] tails, and she's [C] jacking up in her socks.
[F] [G] [C]
Stern [F] and stone and confident, [C] coming up towards the jukebox, born into the only [G] songs that
everybody [C] kind of sings along.
B1 [F] is for the good girls, [G] and it's only the [C] good die young.
C9 is [F] for the making [G] eyes, and it's [C] paradise by the dashboard light.
[F] B12 is for the [C] speeders, and D4 is for the lovers, and the hard drums [F] are for the [G] bartenders,
and the kitchen [C] workers, and the bartenders' friends, [F] and they're playing it [G] again.
[C] And I look [F] fully, give some hope, in [G] certain songs, they get [C] so scratched into our souls.
Guess you're old enough to know, your dad on the West Coast, or taking off their clothes.
Screwing in the surf, and going out to shows.
They get high, and they ride around and cheat deals.
[F] [G] [C]
In [F] certain songs, they get [G] so [C] scratched into our souls.
