VERSE 1: 

D 
Oh well the world never seemed bigger 
                 G 
Than the summer of '98 
D 
Living out in the suburbs 
G 
Planning my escape 
           D 
I grew my hair to my shoulders 
           G 
Formed a band with a couple of friends 
          D 
And we called ourselves The Devils Playhouse 
     G 
Influences like Bruce and the band 


          Bm7        D 
And we'd sing and play 
G                                D 
Simple three chord rock and roll 
     Bm7     D 
And miles away 
        G                            D 
The other kids would just grow old 
            G                 A 
But we're making our own way out 
            G                 A 
Yeah we're making our own way out 


Intro:D  G  D  G 

VERSE 2: 
Well we'd practice every week in my bedroom 
While my parents were working in town 
And one morning in our school assembly 
Played a cover of "Don't Let Me Down" 
The performance was nervous and awkward 
But the passion was real and profound 
And the kids in the audience laughing 
While the band just looked at the ground 

CHORUS 2: 

But the victory 
For the kids who believe in rock and roll 
I know for me 
That performance lives, it never grows old 
But we're making our own way out 
Yeah we're making our own way out 

OUTRO: 

         D                        G 
Well I'd give it all back just to do it again 
         D                   G 
Yeah I'd turn back time, be with my friends 
         D                        G 
Yeah I'd give it all back just to do it again 
D                G 
Turn back time, be with my friends 
         D                         G 
Yeah I'd give it all back just to do it again 
D                   G 
Turn back time and be with my friends 
         D                          G 
Yeah I'd give it all back just to do it again 
D                     G 
Turn back time, be with my friends 
D 
Tonight
