[Intro]

A F#m D A E F#m D E (x2)

[Verse 1]

A                 D                Bm          C#m       D
The graffiti over 309 used to say things that I could romanticize
    A                               D                          Bm
Like "I'll always love you Katie" or "Bernard Herman lives" or maybe "loves"
        C#m           D
I could never quite decipher or decide
    E            D                         E
But now the overpass says things like "DRAT"
                          D
And I'm not sure what to make of it      

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]

A                    D
I watch the highway lines unwind
               Bm                  C#m                  D
Thought about where I could go and who I would leave behind
A         E
I stayed anchored here
       D                                 Bm           C#m
Cause only I could find a way to make a year I hated seem nostalgic
D
I can't say goodbye
E                     D
And I've been having car crash dreams
             E
Not sure if they mean anything
         D
But it keeps out of the driver's seat

[Chorus]

F#m               D
I remember me at eighteen
               A
Naked in your parents' basement 
Bm  
Young and careless
D                  E                  
Watching you blow smoke rings
F#m                   D
And I remember me at eighteen
         A         Bm
You sat stoic in front of me
   D               E       
A portrait of who we'd someday be

[Interlude]

D Bm (x3)

[Bridge]

D
Me versus the highway (me vs. the highway)
Bm                                     A
Me versus the highway (me vs. the highway)
     Bm   D E    F#m              E               
And I'll say the best years may still be ahead of me

[Interlude]

[Chorus]

F#m               D
I remember me at eighteen
               A
Naked in your parents' basement
Bm
Young and careless
D                  E
Watching you blow smoke rings
F#m                   D
And I remember me at eighteen
         A        Bm
You sat stoic in front of me
   D                E
A portrait of who we'd someday be
