G  C D (2x)

[Verse 1}
      G
On an open road with nowhere to go
C            D
 Any way the wind will blow
          G
I want to roll the windows down
         C       D
And just take it slow

[Pre-Chorus]
G
Hear the wolves howling in the dead of night
           C                  D
The hidden lizard and the firefly
                     G                     C     D
'Cause it used to be easy back when it was easy

[Chorus]
G
Red-yellow bonfire through the trees
C                  D
Pale white moon up above the leaves
           G
I've got a quarter in my pocket and I don't want to drop it
           C              D
'Cause I'm ice cream soda popping

G
Red-yellow bonfire through the trees
C                  D
Pale white moon up above the leaves
           G
I've got a quarter in my pocket and I don't want to drop it
           C              D
'Cause I'm ice cream soda popping

[Verse 2]
            G
I bought an old poncho '74
C                D
 Rolling off the diving board
          G
I want to see the sun go down
         C      D
And just ride a wave to shore


[Pre-Chorus]
G
Hear the wolves howling in the dead of night
           C                  D
The hidden lizard and the firefly
                     G                     C     D
'Cause it used to be easy back when it was easy

[Chorus]
G
Red-yellow bonfire through the trees
C                  D
Pale white moon up above the leaves
           G
I've got a quarter in my pocket and I don't want to drop it
           C              D
'Cause I'm ice cream soda popping

G
Red-yellow bonfire through the trees
C                  D
Pale white moon up above the leaves
           G
I've got a quarter in my pocket and I don't want to drop it
           C              D
'Cause I'm ice cream soda popping

              G
It used to be easy (Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
                 C                       D
Back when it was easy (Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
              G
It used to be easy (Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
                 C                       D
Back when it was easy (Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
C         D    Em                     C
Ooh, ooh, ooh, why's it have to be so hard?
C     D
Easy, easy, but I was in the dark
