My Anthem

| A | Bm | D | D | A Bm D In a world, in a town, on a road in a car D Goin' nowhere fast A Bm D Just a girl with a boy who'd never been that far D And he could never go back A Bm I was tired of talking about going to college somewhere D D You were tired of your parents fighting downstairs A Bm We thought we could outrun our youth D D You and me could outrun the truth A Bm You weren't just a prayer, you were my salvation F#m D You weren't just my first, you were my education A Bm You weren't just a song on the radio F#m You were my solid gold centerfold D Daddy hates my rock and roll A Bm F#m D Back seat dancin', we ain't never growin' old anthem A Bm F#m D Yeah, you were my anthem A Bm D In a house, in a room with a poster on the wall D Looking for a way out A Bm D In a yard, in the dark, climbin' a fence just to fall D Thought that's what love was about A Bm Even when you had to put my jacket around your shoulders D D We pretended that the summer wasn't over A Bm We thought we could outrun our youth D D You and me could outrun the truth A Bm You weren't just a prayer, you were my salvation F#m D You weren't just my first, you were my education A Bm You weren't just a song on the radio F#m You were my solid gold centerfold D Daddy hates my rock and roll A Bm F#m D Back seat dancin', we ain't never growin' old anthem A Bm F#m D Yeah, you were my anthem E You were the backbeat of freedom F#m The front row kind of feeling D D And just what I needed to hear E F#m The kind you wanna sing along (sing along) D D Baby, with your blue jeans on A Bm We thought we could outrun our youth D D You and me could outrun the truth A Bm You weren't just a prayer, you were my salvation F#m D You weren't just my first, you were my education A Bm You weren't just a song on the radio F#m You were my solid gold centerfold D Daddy hates my rock and roll A Bm F#m D Back seat dancin', we ain't never growin' old anthem A Bm Yeah, you were my anthem F#m D A Bm The kind you want to sing along F#m D A N.C. The kind you want to sing along
