[Verse]
F Em
Beating the drum all night
C
Dancing naked around a fire
F Em
Leaving trouble behind
C
Swimming in the water
F Em
We found the tent with the flashlight
C
We were looking for a hideout
F Em
When you’re praying for no strings
C
Sometimes you get tied down
[Chorus]
G C Em
And I never thought that this would happen
G C Am
And you got all weird after the weekend
G C Em
Sometimes you make out with an old friend
G C Am
And I’m rounding first and I’m sliding into second
[Verse]
(Same as Intro)
F Em
She could never hold her tongue much
C
And when I bit her lip hard
F Em
Expecting some review like
C
2 out of 5 stars
F Em
But in a moment she revealed that
C
She was no different
F Em
We were just kid’s nervous breathing
C
Showing some forgiveness
[Chorus]
G C Em
And I never thought that this would happen
G C Am
And you got all weird after the weekend
G C Em
Sometimes you make out with an old friend
G C Am
And I’m rounding first and I’m sliding into second
[Post-chorus]
(Chords Strummed Once)
D
And if you don’t know
Then I don’t know
C
How these things go
Am
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
[Instrumental]
F Em C
F Em G
[Verse]
(Palm-muted)
F Em
In your wooly socks and Birkenstocks
C
What would they say about us
F Em
At the hour of the evening
G
The night will carry on without us
F Em
But if we had to play one card
C
And say we both blacked out
F Em
And my friends seems to trust us
G
They believe this silly kinda of cop out
Let me tell you now
[Chorus]
G C Em
And I never thought that this would happen
G C Am
And you got all weird after the weekend
G C Em
Sometimes you make out with an old friend
G C Am
And I’m rounding first and I’m sliding into second
[Post-chorus]
(Chords Strummed Once)
D
And if you don’t know
Then I don’t know
C
How these things go
Am
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
