(No Capo)

(Intro.)
|(Em) / / / |(Bm) / / / |(D) / / / |(A) / / / |

(Verse)
(Em) I got a car and it (Bm)takes unleaded
(D) I know a place with a (A)tab on credit
So I, (Em) fill the tank and get some (Bm)Cokes for my friends
Lord it’s (D)good to be back home again (A)
(Em) It feels crazy running (Bm)down these roads
When I (D)see the street sign my mind (A)always goes
Back to the (Em) old days of (Bm)‘94
They don’t (D)make ‘em like that anymore (A)

(Chorus)
Oh. oh, oh, (E) take me back to the (Bm)first dreams
501 (D)blue jeans, tighter than (A)goddamn Springsteen
(E)Take me back to the (Bm)first show
Right back to the (D)first note
When I knew my (A)heart was pure rock 'n' roll (G) (D)
Still (A)searching for that first high |(E) / / / |(E) / / / |

(Verse)
(Em) I tried cheering for the (Bm)Wolvеrines
(D) I took a shot at being (A)pageant queen
But I (Em)wound up hanging with thе (Bm)punks at the park
(D) Somebody asked me if I (A)had a spark
(E)I played it cool but (Bm)I was unsteady
(D) My mind was reeling, man it was (A)so heavy
But I (Em) laid back and I (Bm)let it ride
Oh, the (D)first taste of paradise (A)

(Chorus)
Oh. oh, oh, (E)take me back to the (Bm)first dreams
501 (D)blue jeans, tighter than (A)goddamn Springs-(G)teen
(E)Take me back to the (Bm)first kiss
Oh, how (D)I miss how I (A)felt when I fell for the (G)first time (D)
I'm still (A)searching for that first high (Em) (Bm)
Yeah, (D)I'm still (A)searching for that first high

(Solo)
|(E) / / / |(Bm) / / / |(D) / / / |(A) / / / |

(Break)
(E) Sometimes I think that I should (Bm)take a ride
(D)Hundred miles an hour with (A)no headlights
Then I (E)might feel the same way I (Bm)did back then
(D)Never gonna happen a-(A)gain

(Chorus)
Oh, oh, oh (E) take me back to the (Bm)first dream
501 (D)blue jeans, tighter than (A)goddamn Springsteen
(E)Take me back to the (Bm)first night
Back to the (D)first ride
When there was (A)nothing but the first time

(Outro.)
(D)I’m still (Em)searching
Yeah, (D)I’m still (A)searching
Yeah, (D)I’m still (A)searching for that first high (E) (Bm)
Yeah, (D)I’m still searching for that (A)first high - - - - -
