      B                      C#m         E
In a world, in a town, on a road in a car
              E
Goin' nowhere fast
        B                           C#m         E
Just a girl with a boy who'd never been that far
                       E
And he could never go back
B                                      C#m
I was tired of talking about going to college
somewhere
          E
You were tired of your parents fighting downstairs
            B                   C#m
We thought we could outrun our youth
         E
You and me could outrun the truth

Chorus:
     B                              C#m
You weren't just a prayer, you were my salvation
    G#m                              E
You weren't just my first, you were my education
     B                          C#m
You weren't just a song on the radio
             G#m
You were my solid gold centerfold
E
Daddy hates my rock and roll
B                  C#m                        G#m  E
Back seat dancin', we ain't never growin' old anthem
                  B      C#m G#m E
Yeah, you were my anthem

In a house, in a room with a poster on the wall
Looking for a way out
In a yard, in the dark, climbin' a
fence just to fall
Thought that's what love was about
Even when you had to put my jacket
around your shoulders
We pretended that the summer wasn't over
We thought we could outrun our youth
You and me could outrun the truth

Chorus

             F#
You were the backbeat of freedom
    G#m
The front row kind of feeling
     E
And just what I needed to hear
                   F#                G#m
The kind you wanna sing along (sing along)
                  E
Baby, with your blue jeans on

            B                   C#m
We thought we could outrun our youth
         E
You and me could outrun the truth

Chorus

                     G#m        E B C#m
The kind you want to sing along
                     G#m        E B
The kind you want to sing along
