Intro: G C

Verse 1:
G                                           C
 I remember we were only sixteen at the time
                                 D                    G
We stole your daddy's car the day you learned to drive
                                                   C
You nearly killed us both a half mile down the road
                                D            Em
Yeah, we were upside down and moving in slow motion

Pre-chorus:

We're just floating
                D
So wild and free

And it all made sense to me

Chorus:
   G
If I'm gonna die a young American
    C
And this was the final night we'd ever have again
    Em                                          C
I'd be just fine as long as I'm wherever you are
                                         G
'Cause you stole my young, American heart

Verse 2:
                                                              C
Well, it's been a long two years since you have left the country
                                   D          G
And now, you and I, we're living in some crazy times
                                                        C
And I get so scared we'll never make it through our twenties
                                     D
And we'll lose it all for nothing, nothing

Chorus:
   G
If I'm gonna die a young American
    C
And this was the final night we'd ever have again
    Em                                          C
I'd be just fine as long as I'm wherever you are
                            D            G
'Cause you stole my young, American heart

Bridge:
G
 My young, American heart, my young, American heart
C
 You stole my, you stole my American heart
G                                                   C
 My young, American heart, my young, American heart, you stole my, you stole my American heart
Em                                                   C
  My young, American heart, my young, American heart, you stole my, you stole my American heart

Chorus:
G
I'm gonna die a young American
    C
And this was the final night we'd ever have again
    Em                                          C
I'd be just fine as long as I'm wherever you are
                                         G
'Cause you stole my young, American heart

Outro:
                        C
My young, American heart
                        Em
My young, American heart
                  C
My young, American

'Cause you stole my young, American heart
