[Verse 1]

Sunset through a windshield, I can see it now
                   F#
Like a picture in a frame (Picture in a frame)
 
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

Blue jeans and t-shirts, who we were
                               F#

I wish I could go back to those days
 
 
[Chorus]
         G#
When the town was the whole world
                 G#   A#m  F#
And love was the girl next door
 
Soundtrack was a song in the dark
             F#    A#m      G#
I miss those days when our dreams
 
Were there for chasin'
                       G#
But time was better wasted
A#m    F#
We were summer young and livin' for a Friday
    F#    A#m      G#
And freedom was a highway (Oh-oh, oh-oh)

Freedom was a highway (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
 
 
[Verse 2]
G#
Barbwire on a fencepost with a crosswind
                     F#
On a road no one was on (No one was on)
 
Yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
G#
Five deep with our hands up
                                F#
Just singin' along to a hip-hop song
 
I wish I could rewind and replay

I miss those days when our dreams
 
Were there for chasin'
                       G#
But time was better wasted
A#m    F#
We were summer young and livin' for a Friday
    F#   A#m      G#
And freedom was a highway (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
G#   A#m      F#
Freedom was a highway (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
 
 
[Bridge]
            G#
When you're seventeen and drivin'
                                       F#
You don't think about the road runnin' out
 
No, no, no, no
G#
You just keep your eyes on that horizon
                            F#
'Cause you're wrapped up in now (Ooh, ooh)
  G# A#m F#
Hey (Ooh, yeah)
  F# A#m G#
(Ooh, yeah, woo)

Love this song, I think the only mod I would suggest is that in the last line of each chorus seems like the chord change is Am G F (flipping the G & F)
