The Band And I Chords by Maisie Peters

[Verse 1]
          D
We played Heads Up 

in a car in Seattle
    Bm
God rock on the radio
                A
You look like a superstar
 
And Dom got into Juilliard
                      G
And I'm really bad at Heads Up, 

what do you know?
           D
My drummer fell for a girl 

in a cookie shop
                   Bm
He said he'd make a move 

and then he went with, 

"Excuse me?"
               A
Came a boy and left a man
 
Gotta give it to the band
                G
Greatest one in Oregon (Oregon)
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm                      G
And looking back, all I know is
 
 
[Chorus]
       D
It was Friday nights, 

it was video gold
           A
Oh, it was shining lights, 

it was rock 'n' roll
           Bm
It was the band and I on a 

twelve-bed bus
           G
And it was making it, messin' it up
       D
It was endless roads in the 

same old boots
           A
Oh, it was letting go of 

everything but you
           Bm
It was the band and I on a 

twelve-bed bus
         G               
If we're livin' the dream, 
                     D
I hope we never wake up
 
 
[Verse 2]
D
Snowstorm in the middle of Texas
          Bm
Called my mother in a 

Denny's and lied
                   A
Told her I've been needing them
 
Told her you were just a friend
                G
Told her I was homesick
 
I hadn't thought of home twice
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm                         
Driving and we drive again 
      G
to an ocean
A
And I think I knew it 

then for a moment
 
 
[Chorus]
       D
It was Friday nights, 

it was video gold
           A
Oh, it was shining lights, 

it was rock 'n' roll
           Bm
It was the band and I on a 

twelve-bed bus
           G
And it was making it, 

messin' it up
       D
It was endless roads 

in the same old boots
           A
Oh, it was letting go of 

everything but you
           Bm
It was the band and I on a 

twelve-bed bus
         G                 
If we're livin' the dream, 
                     D
I hope we never wake up
                     A
I hope we never wake up
                     Bm
I hope we never wake up
                    G
I hope we never wake
 
 
[Bridge]
D
Two nights in the El Rey 

went flying
    Bm
I'm twenty-one and I feel 

evergreen
                    A
The band go home, I stay to write
 
We drive around, I stay the night
                 G
Guys, I'm pretty sure 

it's the American dream
 
 
[Verse 3]
       D
It was changing clocks, 

it was Tina stoned
           A
Oh, it was midnight stops 

at border control
             Bm
Yeah, it was powercuts, 

it was certain doom
       G
It was living in the Little 

Rock laundry room
           D
Oh, it was breaking down, 

it was falling in love
     A
In a gas station by the 

pick-up trucks
       Bm
In Philadelphia, it was 

crystal clear
           G
We are the best damn band 

that ever played right here
 
 
[Outro]
       D
It was magic band, 

pure and strong
           A
It was the last man standing 

for the Eagles song
         Bm
It was a far flung wish 

when we were young
          G              
Now we're living the dream 
                         D
and I hope we never wake up
