Intro: Abm Db B Abm 

verse 1 
Abm 
It was July and we were 17 
Abm 
Nothin' goin' on at the Dairy Queen 
Abm 
So we drove to the river and he gave me his ring 
Abm                                       B Abm 
And I melted in his arms like my ice cream 
 
    Db               B           Db 
And nobody knows how far we went 
           Abm                  Gb       Abm 
Except the river and me and the moon and him 
Db                   B     Db 
Sometimes I wanna go back again 
Abm           Gb 
Hey girls you know what I mean 
Db                                 E 
Sometimes don't you wish you had a time machine

verse 2 
Abm 
Maggie May on the radio 
Abm 
One silhouette and the dash boards glows 
Abm 
I hear that song and I still melt 
Abm                                    B Abm 
And it takes me back to the way we felt 

    Db               B           Db 
And nobody knows how far we went 
           Abm                  Gb       Abm 
Except the river and me and the moon and him 
Db                   B     Db 
Sometimes I wanna go back again 
Abm           Gb 
Hey girls you know what I mean

verse 3 
Abm 
I'd close my eyes and I'd say a prayer 
                                Gb             B Abm 
And I'd hit that button and I'd be right there 

    Db               B           Db 
And nobody knows how far we went 
           Abm 
Except the river and me and the moon and him 
Db                   B     Db 
Sometimes I wanna go back again 
Abm           Gb 
Hey girls you know what I mean

Sometimes don't you wish you could stay 17 
Abm           Gb 
Hey girls you know what I mean 
Db                                 E 
Sometimes don't you wish you had a time machine 
Abm           Gb 
Hey girls you know what I mean 
Db                                 E              Abm 
Sometimes don't you wish you had a time machine

A time machine, oh a time machine
