[Verse 1]
G
I keep trying, I'd be lying
Dm7 F
'Cause I'm holding onto the memory
G
I keep crying, slowly dying
Dm7 F
I keep on running but I can't break free
C G
Summer nights keep playing in my mind
G
Baby, baby
C D
So give me back that wasted time...
[Pre-Chorus]
G Am
With the top down and the radio on
F C
We were dancin' in the streets
G Am
Simple times and crossin' lines
F C
We were wild and we were free
[Chorus]
G Am
Finding the answers in black and white
F C
We were young and we believed
G Am
So take my hand on the boulevard
F
'Cause we're looking for
C N.C. G
The American dream
G
Dream, dream, dream
[Verse 2]
G
Pull me close, don't let go
Dm7 F
Let's find our way back to the innocence
G
And I know you're not alone
Dm7 F
When things go fast yeah we'll take it slow
C G
Summer nights keep playing in my mind
G
Baby, baby
D
So give me back that wasted time...
[Pre-Chorus]
G Am
With the top down and the radio on
F C
We were dancin' in the streets
G Am
Simple times and crossin' lines
F C
We were wild and we were free
[Chorus]
G Am
Finding the answers in black and white
F C
We were young and we believed
G Am
So take my hand on the boulevard
F
'Cause we're looking for
C N.C. G
The American dream
G
Dream, dream, dream

Dream, dream, dream

We were dancin' in the streets

Simple times and crossin' lines
