[Verse 1]
                      Em       D
I used to worry about nothing
                    A       Bm7
Said I'd never grow up and
          Em               D              A
I fell in love and it was enough until it wasn't
                              Em      D
I used to dream that we could make it
                         A          Bm7
But now I'm workin' on a paycheck
                     Em                  D
And the voice on the line says I'm doing fine
                      A
Can you tell that I'm faking?
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
       Em            D            A              Bm7
And we   watched our friends play   the same old game
       Em       D                A
And we   all pretend that we're OK
       N.C.
And we won't say
 
 
[Chorus]
        Em          D                 A                Bm7
Take me back to the time when getting old was turning 25
                  Em           D                        A
'Cause seeing the CD, that you burned me, you played it back
           Em             D
The way we laugh, windows down
         A                       Bm7
Rolling 'round the south sidе of town
        G                         D                   A
On your flip phone, you told your dad no you wouldn't crash
                  Bm A G
Maybe we wеnt too fast
In your Pontiac
 
 
[Verse 2]
                         Em         D
My mama worried about my marriage
                             A        Bm7
But now I'm worried about my parents
                 Em                         D                         A
You could try to run from what runs in your blood but you still gotta share it
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
       Em          D            A              Bm7
And we   watch our friends play   the same old game
       Em       D                A
And we   all pretend that we're OK
   N.C.
We won't say
 
 
[Chorus]
        Em          D                 A                Bm7
Take me back to the time when getting old was turning 25
                  G            D                        A
'Cause seeing the CD, that you burned me, you played it back
           Em             D
The way we laugh, windows down
         A                       Bm7
Rolling 'round the south sidе of town
        G                         D                   A
On your flip phone, you told your dad no you wouldn't crash
                  Em D/F# G
Maybe we wеnt too fast
                Bm A G
In your Pontiac

[Bridge]
                      Em          D
I used to worry 'bout real life
                  A          Bm7
Until I fell into your eyes
          Em               D                A
I fell in love and it was enough to make me realise
 
 
[Chorus]
        Em          D                 A                Bm7

Rolling 'round the south sidе of town
        G                         D                   A
On your flip phone, you told your dad no you wouldn't crash
                  Bm A G
Maybe we wеnt too fast
 
 
[Tag]
                  Em D/F# G
Maybe we were too
                  Em D/F# G
Maybe we went too fast
 
In your Pontiac

Great job. If I’m hearing right, when I am playing along with Mat’s acoustic version, using F, C, G, Am7 etc. with a capo on 4th fret seems to work good. Also I think that at the start of the verses he may be playing an F/C instead of a barre F. Awesome song and thank you for the chords.
