BmADG
standing on your mamma's porch - you told me that you'd wait forever
BmADG
and when i held your hand - i knew that it was now or never
BmADADA
those were the best days of my life - back in the summer of '69

we were young and reckless - we needed to unwind

i guess nothing can last forever...

sometimes when i play my old six string

i think about you wonder what went wrong

standing on your manna's porch - you told me it'd last forever
BmADG
and when i held your hand - i knew that it was now or never
