Intro: G# Eb C#

Verse 1:
[Fm] Here in this diary[C#] I
write you visions of my [G#]summer
It was the [C#]best I ever had
There were [Fm]choruses and singalongs
And [Eb]that unspoken feeling of [C#]knowing
That right now is all that matters
[Fm] All the nights we stayed up
[Eb]talking Listening to [G#]80's songs
And quoting [C#]lines from all
those movies That we [Fm]know
It still [Eb]brings a smile to my[C#] face

Refrain 1:
[Bbm] I guess when it
comes [C#]down to it

Chorus 1:
[Fm]Being grown [Eb]up isn't [G#]half
as fun as [C#]growing up
[Fm] These are the [Eb]best
days of our [C#]lives
The [Fm]only thing that [Eb]matters
is just [G#]following your [C#]heart
And [Fm]eventually you'll
Eb G#-- x2
finally get it right

Verse 2:
[Fm] Breaking into hotel [Eb]swimming pools
And wreaking havoc [G#]on our world
Hanging [C#]out at truck stops
Just to pass the [Fm]time
The black tops [Eb]singing me to s[C#]leep
[Fm] Lighting fireworks in [Eb/G]parking
lots Illuminate the [G#]blackest
nights Sharing [C#]cokes under
this moonlit summer s[Fm]ky
2015 [Eb]Riverside it's
time to say good[C#]bye

Refrain 2:
[Bbm] Get on the [C#]bus
it's time to go

Chorus 2:
[Fm]Being grown [Eb]up isn't [G#]half
as fun as [C#]growing up
[Fm] These are the [Eb]best
days of our [C#]lives
The [Fm]only thing that [Eb]matters
is just [G#]following your [C#]heart
And [Fm]eventually you'll
[Eb]finally get it [G#]right
