A
Hanging out behind the
club at the weekends
D
Acting stupid getting
E
drunk with my best friends
A
I couldn´t wait for the
summer and the Warped Tour
D                    E
I remember it´s the first
time I saw her there

A
She´s getting kicked out of
school because she´s failing
D
I´m kind of nervous cause I
E
think all her friends hate me
A
She´s the one she´ll
always be there
D
She took my hand and
      E
that made it I swear

Chorus:
           A
Because I fell in love with
    F#m          D
the girl at the rock show
A
She said "What" and I
F#m              D
told her that I didn´t know
A
She´s so cool I´m gonna
F#m                   D
sneak in through her window
E
Everything´s better
       D
when she´s around
   E
I can´t wait til her
            D
parents go out of town
   E
I fell in love with the
 D           C#m
girl at the rock show

When we said we were gonna move to Vegas
I remember the look her mother gave us
Seventeen without a purpose or direction
We don't owe anyone a fuckin' explanation

Chorus:
I fell in love with the girl at the rock show
She said, "What?" and I told her that I didn't know
She's so cool, gonna sneak in through her window
Everything's better when she's around
I can't wait 'til her parents go out of town
I fell in love with the girl at the rock show

F#m
Black and white picture
D
of her on my wall
          A
I waited for her call
            E
She always kept me waiting
F#m
And if I ever got
  D
another chance
               A
I´d still ask her to dance
             E       D
Because she kept me waiting

Chorus:
I fell in love with the girl at the rock show
She said, "What?" and I told her that I didn't know
She's so cool, gonna sneak in through her window
Everything's better when she's around
I can't wait 'til her parents go out of town
I fell in love with the girl at the rock show
With the girl at the rock show
With the girl at the rock show

(I'll never forget tonight)
With the girl at the rock show - x7
