Intro: G Verse G I've got a friend who wears go-go boots to Sunday School We used to sit and drink pink champagne on a tin roof C Ridin' it out in a Thunderbird G Singin' out loud every single word of Jack & Diane Tryin' to pretend there was no rules D Kissin' on boys and sneakin' in bars Am Tryin' to get a glimpse of who we are D C We weren't wild, but we weren't farVerse G She graduated in 1987 We were gonna make a break for it together C Headed out to Hollywood Where the stars are bright and the weather's good G But she changed her mind and went back to the 7-11 D She went and married the football star Am Had few kids and works real hard D C It ain't wild but it ain't farG Am C D She said Thelma and Louise, you got nothin' on me G C D C And you can tell ol' James Dean to get in line G Am C D Thanks to Elvis and Kurt Cobain, the world will never be the same C D G Bm G You gotta make history one day at a timeInstrumental G-C-D-C-G-C-D-C-G-Am-D-G-C-D-C Verse G Am C D Hey, Thelma and Louise, you got nothin' on me G C D And you can tell ol' James Dean to get in line C G C D Thanks to Jesus and John Wayne the world will never be the same C D G You've gotta make history one day at a time Outro G Like John Lennon and Kennedy I'm with them, yeah, 'cause I believe Am7 G You gotta make history one day at a timeB A E way too much to feel the danger B A E way too much to shield his heart B A E too far gone to ever wanna change her E B A cause he loves her way too much E way too much
