D We played Heads Up in a car in Seattle Bm God rock on the radio A You look like a superstar And Dom got into Juilliard G And I'm really bad at Heads Up, what do you know? D My drummer fell for a girl in a cookie shop Bm He said he'd make a move and then he went with, "Excuse me?" A Came a boy and left a man Gotta give it to the band G Greatest one in Oregon (Oregon) Bm G And looking back, all I know is Chorus: D It was Friday nights, it was video gold A Oh, it was shining lights, it was rock 'n' roll Bm It was the band and I on a twelve-bed bus G And it was making it, messin' it up D It was endless roads in the same old boots A Oh, it was letting go of everything but you Bm It was the band and I on a twelve-bed bus G D If we're livin' the dream, I hope we never wake up Snowstorm in the middle of Texas Called my mother in a Denny's and lied Told her I'd been eating then Told her you were just a friend Told her I was homesick I hadn't thought of home twice Drive and then we drive again to an ocean And I think I knew it then for a moment Chorus A I hope we never wake up Bm I hope we never wake up G I hope we never wake D Two nights in the El Rey went flying Bm I'm twenty-one and I feel evergreen A The band go home, I stay to write We drive around, I stay the night G Guys, I'm pretty sure it's the American dream It was changing clocks, it was Tina stoned Oh, it was midnight stops at border control Yeah, it was power cuts, it was certain doom It was living in the Little Rock laundry room Oh, it was breaking down, it was falling in love In a gas station by the pickup trucks In Philadelphia, it was crystal clear We are the best damn band that's ever played right here It was magic, babe, pure and strong It was the last man standing for the Eagles song It was a far-flung wish when we were young Now we're living the dream and I hope we never wake up You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  Bm  D  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
