[Intro]
D  Bm  F#m  G  A
 
 
[Verse 1]
        D               Bm
We were seventeen and invincible
        F#m
Had the world figured out
         G          A
And the girl on my shoulder told me
  G                   A
"Everything's gon' be alright" (Whoa, oh)
    Bm                      A
And everything was gonna be alright (Whoa, oh)
D                      Bm
Yeah, maybe we were in high school
         F#m
But you never see the ending
             G             A
When you're young and love pretending singing
 G                     A
"Everything's gon' be alright" (Whoa, oh)
 Bm                          A
And everything was gonna be alright
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
             G
Buried her deep inside
             A
Stars stuck in my eyes
 
 
[Chorus]
      G                         A
Now she's got a boyfriend and I've got a rock band
        Bm                          A
'Cause nothing really ever goes the way it's planned
        G                A
Yeah, she's in Ohio and I'm on some back road
 Bm                      A
Driving to the city and then who knows
               G        A
'Cause that's all she wrote
 D                    G                Bm
"I wish that I could turn this car around"
     A                     D
But she's got a boyfriend now (Whoa, whoa)
 
G   Bm  A
 
[Verse 2]
        D                 Bm
Then I took a trip out to L.A
          F#m                          G                A
For the girl with a smile that could take your breath away
                G                      A
I'm thinking, "Everything's gon' be alright" (Whoa, oh)
           Bm                   A
And everything was gonna be alright (Whoa, oh)
  D                       Bm
Maybe I thought I could sweep in
     F#m                            G             A
And sweep her off her feet and go right back to Boston thinking
 G                        A
"Everything's gon' be alright" (Whoa, oh)
          Bm                A
And everything was gonna be alright
                G
The streets keep rolling on
               A
But now she's so far gone
 
 
[Chorus]
      G
Now she's got a boyfriend
      A
And I've got a rock band
          Bm                          A
'Cause nothing really ever goes the way it's planned
         G                         A
Yeah, she's on the west coast and I'm on some back road
   Bm                        A
Driving to the city and then who knows
               G        A
'Cause that's all she wrote
 D                    G               Bm
"I wish that I could turn this car around"
      A
But she's got a boyfriend-
 
 
[Bridge]
 G
Take me back to you somehow, with everything that I don't know
      A
It's so hard (So hard)
       Bm    A
I tore us apart
  G                                                                   A
Take me back to feeling like the world would just keep dealing me the right cards (Right card)
            Bm      A       D
Now you're just so far and I'm
                    Bm
Twenty-three and invincible
          F#m                       G          A
Got the world figured out and the bird on my shoulder told me
  G                    A
"Everything's gon' be alright" (Whoa, oh)
     Bm                             A
And that most everything's gon' be alright
 
 
[Chorus]
     G
Now she's got a boyfriend
      A
And I've got a rock band
           Bm                          A
'Cause nothing really ever goes the way it's planned
      G                 A
Yeah, she's in Ohio and I'm on some back road
Bm                     A
Driving to the city and then who knows
               G           A
'Cause that's all she wrote (She wrote)
  D                    G
"I wish that I could turn this car around"
                   A
'Cause there she goes (She goes)
D                    G            Bm
I wish that I could press rewind somehow (Somehow)
      A                    D
But she's got a boyfriend now (Whoa, oh)
 
Bm   F#m
        G            A        D
(Whoa) She's got a boyfriend now
 
Bm  F#m
              G           A         D
(Whoa, whoa) She's got a boyfriend now
 
 
[Outro]
      Bm       F#m
Take your
           G              A         D
Take your breath, breath, breath away
           Bm     F#m
Take your
         G            A       D
'Cause she's got a boyfriend now
 
(Take your breath, breath, breath away)
