[An little lick is played during the intro, between the verses and the outro and can be played
as an Open E and moving your pinky on the High E string.  I keep it simple and just play
an occasional G on that high string but have fun with it]
 
 
[Intro]
 
E
 
[Verse 1]
E
They call it endless summer, but it’s the worst I’ve ever had
                                 A
I’ve been huffing gasoline in my best friend’s trans am
                           E
Life in this town ain’t as easy as it seems
                                A                E
It eats up your whole heart and spits away your dreams
 
 
[Verse 2]
E
I can hardly think about it, you know it only brings me down
                                          A
I’ve been working scrubbing dishes at the diner downtown
                              E
I’m saving up my money, gonna take a greyhound
                                      A                 E
Load my back with what is needed, and I’ll never settle down
 
 
[Chorus]
A                             E
“Well Come on, baby” say the visions in my head
A                              E              B
Another night in this town is turning mu eyes red
E                       A          E
Maybe my dreams turn to burdens instead
A                  E        A              E            A
But I’m only seventeen, I’m headed for the sun, and I’m getting out of
E              A               E
here while I’m young enough to run
 
 
[Verse 3]
E
They’re all masters with your roots down and all shadows when in flight
                                     A
I’ll make very breath a prayer, make every word a fight
                                  E
Ignore every sign of failure even though I’m sure I might
                              A                E
I’m seventeen so please let’s blow this town tonight
 
[Chorus]
A                             E
“Well Come on, baby” say the visions in my head
A                              E                   B
Another night in this town and I’ll be the walking dead
E                       A          E
Maybe my dreams turn to burdens instead
A                  E        A              E            A
But I’m only seventeen, I’m headed for the sun, and I’m getting out of
E              A               E
here while I’m young enough to run
 
 
[Verse 4]
E
I’ll roam this whole world over ‘til the angels take me home
                                    A
The only things that matter are the ones you do alone
                               E
My journey will be endless, my voice will shake your bones
                                   A               E
Or at least I’ll have a story this world has never known
 
[Chorus]
 
A                             E
“Well Come on, baby” say the visions in my head
A                              E                   B
Another night in this town and I’ll be the walking dead
E                       A          E
Maybe my dreams turn to burdens instead
A                  E        A              E            A
But I’m only seventeen, I’m headed for the sun, and I’m getting out of
E              A               E
here while I’m young enough to run
