verse 1 

A          E        B                       A   E   B 
We used to talk all night and not say a word 
A            E      B                       A   E   B 
When I would hop into your red Firebird 
A          E             B                       A   E    B 
And, man alive, we would drive just to drive around ,      town 
A               E     B                       A   E 
'Cause in your car we understood and figured out 
     B 
That everything changes 

Everything changes 


Bridge (A and E are played as two quick downward strums)

Chorus 

A                  E                     B 
Tell me why I look back and I wanna cry 
             C#m               B 
Sometimes I feel like we grew up too fast 
A                  E                        B 
You and I had the time of our younger lives 
              C#m            B 
Sometimes I sigh and think about the past 
A                         B 
But it's alright, cause everything changes

verse 2 
A          E      B                             A   E   B 
A basement full of boys building homemade bombs 
A    E      B                              A   E   B 
AJ cut his finger and said, go get your mom 
A         E                B                      A   E   B 
I saw it all through the windshield of my white truck,    Troy 
A      E          B                       A   E 
Lotsa ups, lotsa downs, lots of growing up 
        B                   A   E  B 
'Cause everything changes 
 A   E   B

             C#m               B 
Sometimes I feel like we grew up too fast 
A                  E                        B 
You and I had the time of our younger lives 
              C#m            B 
Sometimes I sigh and think about the past 
A                         B

C#m             A 
Hey Billy, remember when 
E            B 
It was just us (it was just us) 
C#M                  A 
Pretending we were Nash and Coral 
E                 B 
On the school bus 
            A                        B             A   E   B 
I wouldn't change a thing, 'cause everything changes 
 A        E          B 
(Changes, changes, changes) 


verse 3 
A          E      B                             A   E   B 
Life is different now and that's okay with me 
A          E      B                             A   E   B 
I moved away and you started a family 
A          E           B                 A    E   B 
But deep inside you and I are still the same,     kids 
A                E           B 
'Cause you're my brother and that won't ever change 
A     E      B 
Even though everything changes 


Chorus 
A                  E                     B 
Tell me why I look back and I wanna cry 
             C#m               B 
Sometimes I feel like we grew up too fast 
A                  E                        B 
You and I had the time of our younger lives 
              C#m            B 
Sometimes I sigh and think about the past 
A                         B 
But it's alright, yeah it's alright
 



Post-Chorus 
 A                  E                     B 
There's a new guest room in my parents' home 
                 C#m             B 
The carpet got replaced a couple years ago 
 A                E                     B 
Because it isn't my bedroom anymore 
                C#m             B 
There's new photographs on the freezer door 
            A             B 
But it's alright, 'cause everything changes 

(Everything changes) 

A      E       B

Outro 
A          E         B                      A    E 
We should talk all night and not say a word 
        B 
('Cause everything changes) 
A       E     B                  A   E   B 
Let me hop into your red Firebird,       again
