[Verse 1]
F#m E
When I was young, I
A
fell in love
D
We used to hold hands,
E
man, that was enough
(yeah)
F#m
Then we grew up,
E A
started to touch
D
Used to kiss
underneath
the light on
the back of
E
the bus
(yeah)
F#m
Oh no, your daddy
E A
didn’t like me
much
D
And he didn’t believe
me when I said you
E
were the one
F#m E
Oh, every day she
A D
found a way out of
the window to
sneak out late
[Chorus]
She used to meet me on
F#m
the Eastside
E
In the city where the
A D
sun don’t set
E
And every day you know
F#m
that we ride
Through the
E
backstreets
A D
in a blue
Corvette
E
Baby, you know I just
F#m E
wanna leave tonight
A D
We can go anywhere we
want
E
Drive down to the
F#m
coast, jump in the
E
sea
A D
Just take my hand and
come with me
[Post-Chorus]
F#m E
We can do anything if
A
we put our minds to it
D
Take your old life
E
then you put a line
through it
F#m
My love is yours if
E A
you’re willing to
take it
D
Give me your heart
‘cause I ain’t
E
gonna break it
F#m E
So come away, starting
A
today
D
Start a new life,
together in a
E
different place
F#m
We know that love is
E
how all these ideas

came to be

So baby, run away with
E
me
[Verse 2]
F#m E
Seventeen and we got a
A D
dream to have a
family
A house and everything
E
in between
F#m
And then, oh, suddenly
E A
we turned
twenty-three
D
Now we got pressure
for taking our life
E
more seriously
F#m
We got our dead-end
E
jobs and got bills
A
to pay
D
Half our friends are
E
now our enemies
F#m
Now I-, I’m thinking
E A
back to when I was
young
D
Back to the day when I
was falling in love
[Chorus]
He used to meet me on
F#m
the Eastside
E
In the city where the
A D
sun don’t set
E
And every day you know
F#m
that we ride
Through the
E
backstreets
A D
in a blue
Corvette
E
Baby, you know I just
F#m E
wanna leave tonight

Drive down to the

Just take my hand and
