These are The Band And I chords by Maisie Peters on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.
[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
And looking back,
G
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
G
again 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
The band go home,
A
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
