Tuned a half step down.
I personally think full open/barre chords sound better, but power chords will work fine, too.

[Intro]
A F#m D A E F#m D E (x2)
[Verse 1]
A D Bm C#m D
The graffiti over 309 used to say things that I could romanticize
A D Bm
Like "I'll always love you Katie" or "Bernard Herman lives" or maybe "loves"
C#m D
I could never quite decipher or decide
E D E
But now the overpass says things like "DRAT"
D
And I'm not sure what to make of it
[Interlude]
A F#m D A E F#m D E
[Verse 2]
A D
I watch the highway lines unwind
Bm C#m D
Thought about where I could go and who I would leave behind
A E
I stayed anchored here
D Bm C#m
Cause only I could find a way to make a year I hated seem nostalgic
D
I can't say goodbye
E D
And I've been having car crash dreams
E
Not sure if they mean anything
D
But it keeps out of the driver's seat
[Chorus]
F#m D
I remember me at eighteen
A
Naked in your parents' basement
Bm
Young and careless
D E
Watching you blow smoke rings
F#m D
And I remember me at eighteen
A Bm
You sat stoic in front of me
D E
A portrait of who we'd someday be
[Interlude]
D Bm (x3)
[Bridge]
D
Me versus the highway (me vs. the highway)
Bm A
Me versus the highway (me vs. the highway)
Bm D E F#m E
And I'll say the best years may still be ahead of me
[Interlude]
A F#m D A E
[Chorus]
F#m D
I remember me at eighteen
A
Naked in your parents' basement
Bm
Young and careless
D E
Watching you blow smoke rings
F#m D
And I remember me at eighteen
A Bm
You sat stoic in front of me
D E
A portrait of who we'd someday be
