Friday Nights (scratch track)

Story Behind The Song

Lyrics

Friday Nights

Thought this would last forever G
It was never gonna end E C
You'd be hanging together G D
Always be friends E C

As the times goes by E
There comes a day C
That feeling inside D
Starts slipping away C D

chorus
Big man on campus G
Homecoming queen D
Quarterback, cheerleader E D
Star of the team C D
Heroes are made G
Underneath stadium lights D
Next thing ya know E D C
You're running out of Friday nights G

Bulletproof nothing could stop you
Rise above it all
Adrenaline butterflies dance in your heart
As Summer fades into Fall

Those days come and go
In the blink of an eye
Slipping away
No matter how hard you try

bridge
Don't reach for tomorrow F
Live for today E/C
These Friday nights won't last much longer F Am
Take in each moment F
Breathe the air E/C
Follow your dreams, keep getting stronger F G

modulate to C for last chorus:
C G A G/B F G
