[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Am                                                      F
I had a dream where we ridin’ in a drop top
C                                                                  Am
Down the block, takin’ our time doing whatever we want
F                                                  C
You put your hand on top of my hand
Am                                                  F
And just like Grease, we were summer lovin’
C                                                                  Am
Had our first kiss and we hit the ground runnin’
F                                                  C
Ah, you put your hand on top of my hand

No silence that kills, ah

Down the block, sneaking our way into every single club
F                                                  C
