[Intro]

So I'm playin' the drums, right? Okay

[Primeira Parte]

D                 G                            Em
Davie died in the summertime in a hotboxed car
       D                   G                            Em
With a seatbelt 'round his neck and a needle in his arm
     D                G                             Em
We'd smoke out in the parkin' lot behind convenient shops
           D                  G
A bought a couple of grams of weed off him
                    Em
But so did all the cops
               D               G
Back then, the kids from other county
                          Em
We would walk out in the heat
          D                     G
'Long the train tracks with our paper bags
                   Em
 And gravel in our feet
       D                    G
In our heads, we picked the husband
                        Em
From the hundred men we knew
               D           G
But I kissed a poster of a pop star
                                    Em
And checked my breasts in casе they grew

[Refrão]

              D              G
Therе ain't a reason on this earth
                   Em
I'd go back to my hometown
D                G
Somewhere in the clouds
                       Em
Davie's runnin' for a touchdown
    D                     G
The crowd appears and his mother cheers
                             Em
 She's wavin' from the field
         D            G
And he's evergreen as seventeen
                    Em
For the last eleven years

D    G    Em
 Ooh-ooh, ah
D   G    Em
Ooh-ooh, ah

[Segunda Parte]

      D               G
No, I never felt like anyone
                   Em
I was a paradoxul lie
         D                G
I didn't think that I was special
                             Em
But I was too afraid to die
         D              G
Like the others from my high school
                     Em
All those sad suburban ghosts
             D               G
Trapped in a cross next to a highway
                        Em
While the rest of us get old

[Refrão]

              D              G
Therе ain't a reason on this earth
                   Em
I'd go back to my hometown
D                G
Somewhere in the clouds
                       Em
Davie's runnin' for a touchdown
    D                     G
The crowd appears and his mother cheers
                             Em
 She's wavin' from the field
         D            G
And he's evergreen as seventeen
                    Em
For the last eleven years

D   G    Em
Ooh-ooh, ah
D    G    Em
 Ooh-ooh, ah

[Ponte]

     D                   G                     Em
The American dream means stayin' young forever
        D              G
And the picture in our pamphlet
                           Em
Gettin' yellow from the weather
    D                     G
And years will pass since science class
                         Em
And I might forget your name
             D                     G
But when the crow's feet come, the kingdom come
                                 Em
Well, you'll always look the same

[Refrão]

              D              G
Therе ain't a reason on this earth
                   Em
I'd go back to my hometown
D                G
Somewhere in the clouds
                       Em
Davie's runnin' for a touchdown
    D                     G
The crowd appears and his mother cheers
                             Em
 She's wavin' from the field
         D            G
And he's evergreen as seventeen
                    Em
For the last eleven years

D    G                     Em
 Ooh-ooh, ah (Evergreen as seventeen)
D    G                     Em
 Ooh-ooh, ah (Evergreen as seventeen)
D    G                     A
 Ooh-ooh, ah (Evergreen as seventeen)
D    G                     Em
 Ooh-ooh, ah (Evergreen as seventeen)
