Intro: G
[G]I've got a friend who wears go-go boots to Sunday School
We used to sit and drink pink champagne on a tin roof
Ri[C]din' it out in a Thunderbird
Singin' out loud every single word of Jack & [G]Diane
Tryin' to pretend there was no rules
Ki[D]ssin' on boys and sneakin' in bars
Tryin' to get a glimpse of who we a[Am]re
W[D]e weren't wild, but we weren't far[C]
Chorus
She said The[G]lma and Lo[Am]uise, you got no[C]thin' on me[D]
And you can t[G]ell ol' James D[C]ean to get in l[D]ine[C]
Thanks to El[G]vis and Kurt Co[Am]bain, the world will ne[C]ver be the sa[D]me
You gotta make his[C]tory one d[D]ay at a t[G]ime[Bm][G]
[G]She graduated in 1987
We were gonna make a break for it together
He[C]aded out to Hollywood
Where the stars are bright and the weather's good
But she ch[G]anged her mind and went back to the 7-11
S[D]he went and married the football star
Had few kids and works real h[Am]ard
[D]It ain't wild but it ain't f[C]ar
(Repeat Chorus)
Instrumental: G-C-D-C-G-C-D-C-G-Am-D-G-C-D-C
Hey, Th[G]elma and Lou[Am]ise, you got no[C]thin' on [D]me
And you can t[G]ell ol' James D[C]ean to get in l[D]ine
Th[C]anks to Je[G]sus and John Wayne the world will ne[C]ver be the sa[D]me
You've gotta make hi[C]story one d[D]ay at a t[G]ime
[G]Like John Lennon and Kennedy
I'm with them, yeah, 'cause I believe
You gotta make his[Am7]tory one day at a t[G]ime
