[Verse 1]
Em7              D          G
When I was young, I fell in love
   C                                     D
We used to hold hands, man, that was enough (yeah)
Em7              D          G
Then we grew up, started to touch
C                                                    D
Used to kiss underneath the light on the back of the bus (yeah)
Em7                      D       G
Oh no, your daddy didn't like me much
       C                                           D
And he didn't believe me when I said you were the one
  Em7          D          G        C
Oh, every day she found a way out of the window to sneak out late
 
[Chorus]
                                Em7
She used to meet me on the Eastside
        D              G         C
In the city where the sun don't set
           D                Em7
And every day you know that we ride
                   D        G      C
Through the backstreets in a blue Corvette
               D             Em7     D
Baby, you know I just wanna leave tonight
G         C
We can go anywhere we want
       D           Em7               D
Drive down to the coast, jump in the seat
G             C
Just take my hand and come with me
 
[Post-Chorus]
Em7                D             G
We can do anything if we put our minds to it
C                                    D
Take your whole life then you put a line through it
Em7                        D           G
My love is yours if you're willing to take it
C                                        D
Give me your heart 'cause I ain't gonna break it
Em7              D        G
So come away, starting today
C                                         D
Start a new life, together in a different place
             Em7                     D       G
We know that love is how these ideas came to be
          C             D
So baby, run away with me
 
[Verse 2]
Em7            D        G               C
Seventeen and we got a dream to have a family
                            D
A house and everything in between
           Em7         D                G
And then, oh, suddenly we turned twenty-three
           C                                        D
Now we got pressure for taking our life more seriously
            Em7                  D         G
We got our dead-end jobs and got bills to pay
C                                   D
Have old friends and know our enemies
         Em7                 D          G
Now I-, I'm thinking back to when I was young
            C
Back to the day when I was falling in love
 
[Chorus]
                                Em7
He used to meet me on the Eastside
        D              G         C
In the city where the sun don't set
           D                Em7
And every day you know that we ride
                   D        G      C
Through the backstreets in a blue Corvette
               D             Em7     D
Baby, you know I just wanna leave tonight
G         C
We can go anywhere we want
       D           Em7               D
Drive down to the coast, jump in the seat
G             C
Just take my hand and come with me

My love is yours if you're willing to take it
