    G#                        C#
We snuck in the back of that college town frat
             G#                      C#
'Cause they wouldn't let us in the front
             G#                    C#
Threw their Miller time keg in a Chevrolet bed
       G#               C#
And we let them horses run
      Fm                      D# 
Cut a path through the grass yellin', "Kiss my ass"
      G#                   C#
With middle finger in the wind
    Fm                 D# 
We laughed, we drank, every now and then I think
          C#
Man, I'd love to do that again

Chorus:
                G#       C#
Those were some good times
                G#       C#
Those were the best nights
     G#                           C#
The freedom you feel when you're learnin' to fly
         G#              C#
And the song on the radio was singin' our lives
G#                    C#                   Fm
I can't say that the moon in the sky was shinin'
            D#
any brighter than it is tonight
        G#                  C#
But it looked on fire back then
             Fm
It probably wasn't
    D#                         G#     C#
But it seemed a little better back when

Gravel lot spot by the porta J'ohns
'Bout a quarter mile from the door
Worked three weeks for a pair of cheap seats
To hear "Never Wanted Nothing More"
We were feelin' that buzz from a summertime love
And a bottle tucked in a boot
It's crazy to think that looking back now
But back then, we never knew

Chorus:
Those were some good times
Those were the best nights
The freedom you feel when you're learning to fly
And the song on the radio was singin' our lives
I can't say that the moon in the sky
Was shinin' any brighter than it is tonight
But it looked on fire back then
It probably wasn't, but it seemed
a little better back when

A#m                            G#    C#
I ain't sayin' that right now ain't right
where I wanna be
    A#m                               G#   D#
But I swear time adds a little shine to a long
gone memory

Chorus:
Those were some good times
Those were the best nights
The freedom you feel when you're learning to fly
And the song on the radio was singin' our lives
I can't say that the moon in the sky
Was shinin' any brighter than it is tonight
But it looked on fire back then
It probably wasn't, but it seemed
a little better back when

Yeah, it seemed a little better back when
