    D* A*
    spent my evenings down at the drive in - and that's when i met you - ya

    we were young and reckless - we needed to unwind
    F Bb C
    i guess nothing can last forever...

    D*
    sometimes when i play my old six string
    A*
    i think about you wonder what went wrong

    Bm A D G
    standing on your manna's porch - you told me it'd last forever
    Bm A D G
    and when i held your hand - i knew that it was now or never
