B C#m E In a world, in a town, on a road in a car E Goin' nowhere fast B C#m E Just a girl with a boy who'd never been that far E And he could never go back B C#m I was tired of talking about going to college somewhere E You were tired of your parents fighting downstairs B C#m We thought we could outrun our youth E You and me could outrun the truth Chorus: B C#m You weren't just a prayer, you were my salvation G#m E You weren't just my first, you were my education B C#m You weren't just a song on the radio G#m You were my solid gold centerfold E Daddy hates my rock and roll B C#m G#m E Back seat dancin', we ain't never growin' old anthem B C#m G#m E Yeah, you were my anthem In a house, in a room with a poster on the wall Looking for a way out In a yard, in the dark, climbin' a fence just to fall Thought that's what love was about Even when you had to put my jacket around your shoulders We pretended that the summer wasn't over We thought we could outrun our youth You and me could outrun the truth Chorus F# You were the backbeat of freedom G#m The front row kind of feeling E And just what I needed to hear F# G#m The kind you wanna sing along (sing along) E Baby, with your blue jeans on B C#m We thought we could outrun our youth E You and me could outrun the truth Chorus G#m E B C#m The kind you want to sing along G#m E B The kind you want to sing along You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsB  C#m  E  F#  G#m  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
