[Intro]
D  E

[Verse 1]
        D
We were flying through the air
                     E A
Yeah we were feeling 17
      D
Until I woke up and realized
           A
It had all just been a dream
              Bm
But we should go
                  G
And not bring our phones
       D
Can we please do something stupid
                A
Like convert an old school bus
               D
We could bring a couple
                    A       G
friends or keep it to just us
            D
I don't care can we just
    G       D  A
 go somewhere

[Chorus]
             G
We’ll go to Rome or Paris
     D
No I don't care it's
 A
About time we started living
    Bm                     A  G
I'm sick of everything I’m missing
                         D
Out on can we go see the Rio Grande
                  A
Please there's so much
left for us to do
  Bm        A
I wonder if this might be true
          E      G
That life is waiting on me
        G D A Bm G  D A
 and you

[Verse 2]
               D
There's Greece and Scotland,
 Puerto Rico
             Bm          G
With all the plans we’re making
            D
There’s memories to be made
A               G
So girl why are we just waiting
           D
Let’s just go
Bm     G    A
No one will know

[Chorus]
               G
If we’re in Rome or Paris
     D
No I don't care it's
 A
About time we started living
    Bm
I'm sick of everything
     A  G
 I’m missing
Out on can we go see the
 D
 Rio Grande
                  A
Please there's so much
left for us to do
  Bm        A
I wonder if this might be true
          E      G
That life is waiting on me
        G D A Bm G  D A
 and you

[Bridge]
     Bm
It's been a real hot minute
F#7   A                E
Since I’ve really been living
   G               D
So what if we went crazy
         E7
 for the day
            Bm
We’ll drive to some place
       F#7
 we’ve never seen
          A         E
The grand canyon or Miami beach
G               D
And make love a little
             E
 love on the way
             Gm
Girl what do you say?

[Chorus]
            G
We’ll go to Rome or Paris
     D
No I don't care it's
 A
About time we started living
    Bm
I'm sick of everything
     A  G
 I’m missing
Out on can we go see the
 D
 Rio Grande
                  A
Please there's so much
left for us to do

I wonder if this might be true

That life is waiting
 on me and you
