Intro: A F#m D A E F#m D E (x2) 

A                 D                Bm          C#m       D 
The graffiti over 309 used to say things that I could romanticize 
    A                               D                         Bm 
Like 'I'll always love you Katie' or 'Bernard Herman lives' or maybe 'loves' 
         C#m        D 
I could never quite decipher or decide 
    E              D                     E 
But now the overpass says things like 'DRAT' 
                          D 
And I'm not sure what to make of it       

A F#m D A E F#m D E 

A                    D 
I watch the highway lines unwind 
               Bm                  C#m                  D 
Thought about where I could go and who I would leave behind 
A         E 
I stayed anchored here 
       D                                 Bm           C#m 
Cause only I could find a way to make a year I hated seem nostalgic 
D 
I can't say goodbye 
E                     D 
And I've been having car crash dreams 
             E 
Not sure if they mean anything 
         D 
But it keeps out of the driver's seat 

F#m               D 
I remember me at eighteen 
               A 
Naked in your parents' basement  
Bm   
Young and careless 
D                  E                   
Watching you blow smoke rings 
F#m                   D 
And I remember me at eighteen 
         A         Bm 
You sat stoic in front of me 
   D               E        
A portrait of who we'd someday be 

D Bm (x3) 

D 
Me versus the highway (me vs. the highway) 
Bm                                     A 
Me versus the highway (me vs. the highway) 
     Bm   D E    F#m              E                
And I'll say the best years may still be ahead of me 

A F#m D A E 

F#m               D 
I remember me at eighteen 
               A 
Naked in your parents' basement 
Bm 
Young and careless 
D                  E 
Watching you blow smoke rings 
F#m                   D 
And I remember me at eighteen 
         A        Bm 
You sat stoic in front of me 
   D                E 
A portrait of who we'd someday be 

A F#m D A E F#m D E A
