Capo 2nd fret

We were sixteen, yeah we were young.

We had the world sitting right in front of us

and we would take my car and drive into the dark,

but we never would get too far, cos with my luck we'd probably end up lost!

I was a storm cloud filled up with rain,

you were the sunlight creeping right into my veins.

With that you lift me up and I never could act too tough

cos you'd accept my faults, I was illuminated by your love

G Em

Summer always shines like gold-

And winter never feels too cold.

I'm thinking that we wont grow old

because we got each other now.

Love crazy love crazy love

the only kind I've ever known

I'm not the type to take it slow

baby we wrote the book on American American

Love crazy love crazy love

cos we don't have to be alone

you know that i cant let go

Baby we wrote the book on American American Love.

And when the full version comes out repeat these chords for verses and choruses!!
