[Intro] 
A, E, D, A, E, D
 
           A
It was the year of 91
       E
Freddy Mercury was gone
    D
And Nevermind was playing on our radios
        A
We were only seventeen
        E
I would park out on your street
         D
Wait for dark to see you climbing out your window
            A
Something's gone wrong with the weather
          E
There's a storm out in the desert
       D
But to us that all seemed very far away
 
 
E          D
Sometimes, when I
E                                  D
Think about those days it makes me wonder
 
What went by
D        A
Oh yeah, left me breathless
D       A
She was so damn wild
D           A                    D                E
Sometimes I think those were the best days of our lives. (Ohh)
D       A
We were young and reckless
D         A
Too soon, out of time
D             A
Next time I'm seventeen
D                 E
I won't be left behind
E         A              E
She would still be mine
          A        D
She would still be mine
 
 
          A
While the Iron Curtain fell
        E
We were lying in a field
           D
Shared the gin and cigarettes I'd stolen from my dad
        A
We both knew what would happen next
      E
In my cherry red AX
        D
Did she know she was the best I'd ever had
          A
Said we'd always be together
          E
That we'd stay this way forever
    D
The future seemed so very far away
 
 
 
E          D
Sometimes, when I
E                                  D
Think about those days it makes me wonder
 
What went by
D        A
Oh yeah, left me breathless
D       A
She was so damn wild
D           A                    D                E

D             A
Next time I'm seventeen
D                 E
I won't be left behind
          A        D
She would still be mine
 
 
D
You must be married now
A
In some suburban house
E
Are you happy now?
                                D
Do you ever think back to those times?
 
It was so innocent
A                           E
Do you ever meet me in your mind?
 
 
 
E          D
Sometimes, when I
E                                  D
Think about those days it makes me wonder
 
What went by
D        A
Oh yeah, left me breathless

D        A   D
(Oh yeah,    she was)
A              D
She'd still be mine
 
(Sometimes)
A        D
Still be mine
                  E
(Best days of our lives)
 
 
D       A
We were young and reckless
D         A
Too soon, out of time
D         A
Next time I'm seventeen
  D               E
I won't be left behind
          A     D  A
She would still be mine.
