verse 1: 
                       C 
 If things were different, we were young 
                                           Em 
 Skinny dipping, having fun, I remember 
              C                                              Em 
 Back in 1991, when the story first begun, I remember (I remember) 
 C                                                   Em 
 All of these shells, holding the things I've done 
 C                                     Em 
 I knew myself before I knew anyone 

Pre-Chorus 
                    C 
And cause we all chew gum, we all have fun with water guns 
              Am 
 La da da da da da, da da dum dum dum 
             C  
 And we all grew up, sh** got tough 
                                  Am 
 Sh** just wasn't simple enough 
            C       Em       C        Em 
Ahh Oh 


  C                      Am                    Em 
 And whenever the sun came out, we played 
 (We didn't want to get older, we didn't want to get older) 
 C                           Am                    Em 
 We would run on the block all night and day 
 (We didn't want to get older) 


verse 2: 
  C                                         Em 
 What a mistake, saying the way I felt 
 C                                  Em 
 I say my name influences myself 

Pre-Chorus 
                   C 
 And cause I started young, I learned it done, I didn't run 
              Am 
 La da da da da da 
           C                                                                        Am   
 I was scared as f*** and out of touch, and I was still testing my luck, oh 
 C      Em      C        Em 


  C                      Am                    Em 
 And whenever the sun came out, we played 
 (We didn't want to get older, we didn't want to get older) 
 C                            Am                   Em 
 We would run on the block all night and day 
 (We didn't want to get older, we didn't want to get older) 
  C                       Am                    Em 
 And whenever the sun came out, we played 
 (We didn't want to get older, we didn't want to get older) 
 C         Am                Em 
 I left myself in the alleyway 


verse 3/ Outro: 
                       C 
 If things were different, we were young 
                                            Em 
 Skinny dipping, having fun, I remember 
 (I left myself in the alleyway) 
 C                                                                      Em 
 All I wanted would become everything I ever loved, I remember 
                                 C     Em 
 (I left myself in the alleyway)   

 C Em (6x)
