[Verse 1]
Bm                                        E      A
The boys are grinning from the photograph
Bm                                           E     A
It's Friday night and they're trying so hard
Bm                                        E      A
The sun is dropping, and they want to go
Bm                                             E     A
Driving into town to see some girls they know
 
[Chorus]
E                             G
The boys, blazing on a summer night
G                             D
Girls they want to watch them ride
D                        F#m
Is that the way it was before?
         F#7
Cause I don't remember
G                             E
Boys, friends at every bar in town
E                          D
Running all the good days down
                         F#m
Is that the way it was before?
         F#7
Cause I don't remember

[Verse 2]
Bm                                              E   A
We felt like fighters when we caught the plane
Bm                                              E   A
Until that day we'd never heard its name
Bm                                              E   A
We did some things we didn't understand
Bm                                              E   A
And now we feel like strangers in our own land
 
 
[Chorus]
E                             G
The boys, blazing on a summer night
G                             D
Girls they want to watch them ride
D                        F#m
Is that the way it was before?
         F#7
Cause I don't remember
G                             E
Boys, friends at every bar in town
E                          D
Running all the good days down
                         F#m
Is that the way it was before?
         F#7
Cause I don't remember
 
 
[Outro]
G                  D              A
This photograph, I hold it when I sleep
G                        D       F#m
Because people soon stop asking
G                 D                A
When I cannot explain what I have seen
                   G
And at the bars in town
                E
All the boys in town
                               G
Are running all the good days down
                           E
Running all the good days down
                          G  E
Running all the good days down
                  Bm
All the good days down
