On the recording, power chords are used on all but the bridge.
It isn't too hard to play most of the lead line in the intro/outro with hammer-ons under the chords.
The tab already here has them very well explained.
Intro: C - Em - Am - F G (2x)
C Em
Once she came like a vision in the night
Am F
I fell in love before the morning arrived
Am F
She wore a blue dress to combat the heat
C G
Drank beer from the bottle and danced in the street
C
Then I heard her singing something fairly familiar
Em
A tale of two lovers in the thick of the summer
Am F
And there in the moment we kissed in the hammock
C G Am F
We argued over which Bad Religion album was better
C G Am F C G
I said "No Control" or "Suffer"
C Em
Then she became queen of the neighborhood parties
Am F
While I was an unknown boy along for the ride
Am F
Kept the guitar right by my side
C G
It was better than conversing with the kids I didn't like
C
But on the fourth of July when the fireworks rang out
Em
She met a new boy who was more hip and less strung out
Am F
I drove home with fire in the sky
C G Am F
Fiddled with the dials and stumbled across something
C G Am F C G
That you were always humming
Am C F
As time tables suggest, we were only just friends
Em G Am
In constant motions covering stilts
(Am) C F
I'll give you a dollar for another ride home
Em E
Or something to mix with your coke
C Em Am
Well maybe if you want to wander around outside tonight
(Am) F G
Meet me in Lake Ariel after midnight
C Em
Or really whenever, I only want to talk
Am G
I only want to relive what was lost
Am C F
As time tables suggest, we were only just friends
Em G Am
In constant motions covering stilts
(Am) C F
I'll give you a dollar for another ride home
Em G
Or something to mix with your...
C G Am
As time tables suggest, we were only just friends
F G C
In constant motions covering stilts
(C) G Am
I'll give you a dollar for another ride home
F G C
Or something to mix with your coke
Outro: C - Em - Am - F G (2x)
end on C
