G I was lying on the side of the road B C Not so different from a pile of trash F#m Irritated as a heat rash G B C Plucking hairs out of my mustache one by one F#m Thought my upper lip needed some sun G And I was looking for the secret code B C Wandering around American roads F#m G Oh, it was an inspiration payload B C F#m Pretty good grease for frying [Chorus] G B C Memories F#m G B C Strike a bolt of lightning into me F#m G B C Surfing on a sea of ecstasy F#m G B C A Wonder how this all could come to be, yeah N.C. Breathe [Verse] G Do it again, do it again B C F#m Take a deep breath and hold it, hold it in G B C Wait around all night to strike the match F#m G But all the fumes have wandered home B C So what should've been an inferno F#m G Is just a faint nostalgic glow B C F#m Pretty good grease for frying [Chorus] G B C Memories F#m G B C Strike a bolt of lightning into me F#m G B C Surfing on a sea of ecstasy F#m G B C A Wonder how this all could come to be, yeah [Solo] [Bridge] G I had a dream love B C And light were winning F#m G I woke up laughing B C I woke up singing And now these [Chorus] N.C. Memories Strike a bolt of lightning into me G B C Surfing on a sea of ecstasy F#m G B C A Wonder how this all could come to be, yeah [Outro] G B C F#m G B C F#m G B C F#m G B C F#m N.C.
