 D           Bm        G            A
Six beers and five guys and if I remember right,
it was a
 D             Bm                      G
Wednesday when we got our buzz on for second
          A
hand six pack
 D         Bm         G            A
Half smoked soft pack, light it up boys, take a drag
            D                Bm
And when I fought that cough off everyone
             G              A
else thought I was so damn cool

        G                                A
But my head was spinnin' like a Tilt-A-Whirl
      G                        A
Yeah man, it really rocked my world

Chorus:
          D         Bm              G
Back when everything seemed just a little
       A
bit stronger
 D          Bm            G            A
Back when the weekend lasted a little longer
Bm
I can't tell you why they did,
A                                    Em
but things seemed to never end back then
              G                         A    D
Oh way back when, when a little went a long way

One girl, 45 bucks was all it took that night
Hit the steakhouse makeout and
the movies way up in the back
Credits roll on pace,to make it
all the way to second base
Tried to play it cool like it was nothin'
new and she didn't have a clue

But my head was spinnin' like a Tilt-A-Whirl
Yeah man, she really rocked my world

Chorus:
Back when things seemed just a little bit stronger
Back when the weekend lasted a little longer
I can't tell you why they did,
things seemed to never end back then
Oh way back when, when a little went a long way

Back when everything seemed just
a little bit stronger
Back when the weekend lasted a little longer
I can't tell you why they did,
but things seemed to never end back then
Oh way back when, when a little went
a long long way
A long way
