Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 
A           Bm            F#m                D
I feel like new sunglasses, like a brand new pair of jeans.
A           Bm            F#m        D
I feel like taking chances, I feel a lot like 17.

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 
A           Bm                 F#m        D
I feel like windows rolled down, new city streets and cabs.
A           Bm           F#m               D                 E         Bm      D
I feel like anything can happen. Laugh and you take me right back when we were kids.
      E        Bm            D
Never thought, I'd feel like this
 
 
[Chorus]
 
            A            Bm              F#m            D
Like when I close my eyes and don't even care if anyone sees me dancing.
     A        Bm              F#m                    D
Like I can fly and don't even think I'm touching the ground.

Like a heartbeat skip like an open page. Like a one way trip on an airplane.

It's the way that I feel when I'm with you... Brand New

I feel like a young John Cusack, like making big mistakes.
A             Bm               F#m              D        E
I feel like for the first time in the long time I am not afraid.
       Bm     D          E            Bm        D
I feel like a kid. Never thought it'd feel like this.

Time will always try to make us old. You remind me what I used to know.

Isn’t there a C/G in the progression?

So when played live is the whole guitar tuned down two steps? I’m confused by your comment.

I don't understand the logic of posting the song in A and then noting that the artist doesn't actually play it in A...he plays it in G with the 6th string tuned down. Why not just post it that way?
