Verse [Arpeggiated]
Em          C
Beating the drum all night
G
Dancing naked around a fire
Em       C
Leaving trouble behind
G
Swimming in the water
      Em       C
We found the tent with the flashlight
    G
We were looking for a hideout
      Em       C
When you?re praying for no strings
  G
Sometimes you get tied down


Chorus {Arpeggiated]
Em  C               G
And I never thought that this would happen
Em   C            G
And you got all weird after the weekend
Em    C          G
Sometimes you make out with an old friend
Em   C           G
And I?m rounding first and I?m sliding into second

Verse [Arpeggiated]
Em            C
She could never hold her tongue much
G
And when I bit her lip hard
Em       C
Expecting some review like
G
2 out of 5 stars
    Em          C
But in a moment she revealed that
G
She was no different
      Em       C
We were just kid?s nervous breathing
G
Showing some forgiveness

Chorus [Chords a strummed]
Em  C               G
And I never thought that this would happen
Em   C            G
And you got all weird after the weekend
Em    C          G
Sometimes you make out with an old friend
Em   C           G
And I?m rounding first and I?m sliding into second

Post-Chorus [Chords are strummed once]
Em
And if you don?t know
C
Then I don?t know
G
How these things go
G
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Verse [Palm-muted strums]
Em           C
In your wooly socks and Birkenstocks
G
What would they say about us
Em         C
At the hour of the evening
G
The night will carry on without us
Em          C
But if we had to play one card
G
And say we both blacked out
Em           C
And my friends seems to trust us
G
They believe this silly kinda of cop out
Let me tell you now

Chorus [Chords a strummed]
Em  C               G
And I never thought that this would happen
Em   C            G
And you got all weird after the weekend
Em    C          G
Sometimes you make out with an old friend
Em   C           G
And I?m rounding first and I?m sliding into second

Post-Chorus [Chords are strummed once]
Em
And if you don?t know
C
Then I don?t know
G
How these things go
G
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
