[Verse 1]

             G          C
The rain is comin' down tonight
     F
I'm smilin' looking at this photograph
   F
I hear that song and I'm flying right back
    G              C
To when we had it made
       F
Every Friday night when the sun went down
          F                       N.C.
We'd be runnin' them streets like we owned the town


[Pre-Chorus]

      G                     C
And I just can't let it go, no, I just can't let it go
    F
I wonder if you ever think about it like I do
G                                 C
   Seven kids on my two lane road, had the guns on the radio
 Am                           G
After all this time it still feels so good


[Chorus]

                G        D      C
When I think about those summer nights
                 G                        D         C
Singin' out the window, on the back roads,   Sweet Child of Mine
                 G      D       C
Sippin' on the local's spark of light
           F            Em               C*
Ain't it funny how the best days of my life
                    G D C
Was all that wasted time,
                  G D C
 all that wasted time


[Verse 2]

        G                    C
Out of nowhere, it slipped away
        F
And the rope by the river hangs silently
         F                                             G
And the town that I knew ain't nothing like it used to be
                C
Ah, I can't explain
 F
They took all the color from the picture frame
          F
And the days got sold to the grid and the game


[Pre-Chorus]

      G                     C
And I just can't let it go, no, I just can't let it go
    F
I wonder if you ever think about it like I do
G                                 C
   Seven kids on my two lane road, had the guns on the radio
 Am                           G
After all this time it still feels so good


[Chorus]

                G        D      C
When I think about those summer nights
                 G                        D         C
Singin' out the window, on the back roads,   Sweet Child of Mine
                 G      D       C
Sippin' on the local's spark of light
           F            Em               C*
Ain't it funny how the best days of my life
                    G D C
Was all that wasted time,
                  G D C
 all that wasted time


[Bridge]

Hey, hey, now
  G
Summer dresses rained on the hood of the car
      C
Only music that we had was out the left speaker
         G                            C
We were living every second 'til the time ran out
          F                   C
We had nothing but we had it all


[Chorus]

                G        D      C
When I think about those summer nights
                 G                    D             C
Sneakin' out the window, runnin' back roads,   your hand in Mine
              G          D       C
We were goin' nowhere we were so alive
         F                  Em              C*
Ain't it crazy how it's the best days of my life
                    G D C
Was all that wasted time,
                  G D C
 all that wasted time


[Outro]

 G
Swingin' out on the line
                 G C
livin all that wasted time
           C
Don't you feel it coming on back now
 G C  G C    G C
Time, time, time
