Sorry, I tried to make the chord names match up with the words,
but Ultimate-Guitar kind of rearranged where the letters go on me.
Hope this still helps!

U2 was in high school, thank the Lord that they survived
G Em
Got my first taste on a cigar 45, and
Cadd9 G/B Dsus4
since that kiss I rocked all day and partied every night. We still
Cadd9 G/B Dsus4 G
argue about who's better, Elton John or Billy Joel. We still
Cadd9 G/B Dsus4 G
wonder if Kurt really wrote the songs she sang in Hole. No we’ll
Cadd9 G/B Dsus4 G
never stop believin', it's the journey of our lives. So won’t you
Cadd9 G/B Dsus4 G
help me pour some sugar on these memories tonight
Sing it

Summer of '96, I got my first guitar. I

played it till my fingers said, "You're gonna be a star"
G Em
Grunge was everything, at least it was to me. A
Cadd9 G/B Dsus4
Marshall in my Chevy Sprint, just runnin' down a dream. We still
Cadd9 G/B Dsus4 G
argue about who's better, Motley Crew or G’N’R. We still
Cadd9 G/B Dsus4 G
can't believe Van Halen turned into Van Hagar. Now the
Cadd9 G/B Dsus4 G
record shops are gone for good and no one seems to care, but

We still

forever 27 Jimmy, Janis, Brian Jones. And we
Cadd9 G/B Dsus4 G

throw your lighters up and, darling, sing with me tonight

GREAT song.
I'm not too good with my music theory, so these might not be the correct chord names,
but just follow the little tabs at the top and you're good to go!
If you think I'm wrong, tell me! I'll correct it right away.
