Bm E A The boys are grinning from the photograph It's Friday night and they're trying so hard The sun is dropping and they want to go Driving into town to see some girls they know Chorus: E G The boys, blazing on a summer night D Girls they want to watch them ride F#m Is that the way it was before? A#dim7 Cause I don't remember G E Boys, friends at every bar in town D Running all the good days down F#m Is that the way it was before? A#dim7 Cause I don't remember We felt like fighters when we caught the plane Until that day we'd never heard its name We did some things we didn't understand And now we feel like strangers in our own land Chorus: The boys, blazing on a summer night Girls they want to watch them fight Is that the way it was before? Cause I can't remember Boys, friends at every bar in town Running all the good days down Is that the way it was before? Cause I can't remember G D A This photograph, I hold it when I sleep G D F# Because people soon stop asking G D A When I cannot explain what I have seen G And at the bars in town E All the boys in town G Are running all the good days down E Running all the good days down G E Running all the good days down Bm All the good days down You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  D  E  F#  F#m  G  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
