[Intro]
C


[Verse 1]
C
I just took a left
on main
C
Right by the church
of christ
C
Nervous boy with a
racing heart
C
Now I’m pullin’ in
your drive
       F
You’re walking out in
 your favorite dress
I’m looking forward to
        C
looking back on this

[Verse 2]
C
Nothin’ to do and
nowhere to be
C
And everywhere to go
C
Crossing over Mill
 Creek
bridge, taking every
 mile slow
F
Chasing more than a
 red sunset
I’m looking forward to
              C
looking back on this



[Chorus]
I’m looking through
    F
the windshield
F
At the white lines,
tryin’ keep it on
the road
Staring at your
C
long hair,
your green eyes
C
Slidin’ over to
me close
       Dm
You’re looking at
 me like you
       C/E
 wanna lean in
      F
for a kiss
           Dm
Yeah, it’s looking
like we’re
 ‘bout to make a
C/E
memory that we won’t
   F
forget
I’m looking forward
 to
              C
looking back on this



[Verse 3]
C
You just took my
 phone
C
And played “old
time rock & roll”
C
Saying that you
wanna dance
C
Girl I know where
 to go
           F
There’s an open
field
where the river
 bends
And I’m looking
forward to
 looking back
 C
on this


[Chorus]
I’m looking through
    F
the windshield
F
At the white lines,
 tryin’
 keep it on the road
Staring at your
C
long hair,
 your green eyes
C
Slidin’ over to
me close
       Dm
You’re looking at
 me
like you wanna
 C/E           F
 lean in for a kiss
           Dm
Yeah, it’s looking
like
we’re ‘bout to make a
C/E
memory that we won’t
   F
forget
I’m looking forward
to
              C
looking back on this



[Guitar Solo]
C    F


[Bridge]
Looking back on
    Am
 the sparks
 that are already
flyin’
             G
Back on this feelin’
cause baby I’m dying
       Dm
To get there and get
             Em
to lovin’ on you
   F
Is all I wanna do



[Chorus]
F
So I’m looking
through
 the windshield
F
At the white lines,
tryin’ keep it on the
 road
                C
Staring at your long
 hair,
 your green eyes
C
Slidin’ over to me
 close
       Dm
You’re looking at me
 like you
       C/E
 wanna lean in
      F
for a kiss
           Dm
Yeah, it’s looking
 like we’re
 ‘bout to make a
C/E
memory that we
         F
won’t forget
I’m looking forward
to
 looking back
  C
 on this

[Outro]
Looking back
 F        C
on this

How to play Looking Back On This: key, chords and progression

Looking Back On This by Riley Green keeps coming home to C major (no sharps or flats). You need 7 chords: C, F, Dm, C/E, Am, G and Em.

Listen for F – C – Dm – C/E (IV – I – ii – I in C major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is fah – doh – reh – doh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Beginner-friendly: almost every chord is an open chord on guitar, so you can play it without a capo or barre chords.
