When We Were Young

	  		
                       


G 
When we were young the world seemed so old 
Em 
Careless and cold 
                                C 
We did what we were told in our lifes 
               D 
When we were young 
G 
Had the world by the tail 
Good would prevail 
Em 
Starships at sail 
                              C 
And none of us would fail in this life 
                  D 
Not when you’re young 

C                                        Em 
We were drawn to whoever could keep us together 
      G                     D 
And bound by the heavens above 
       C                   Em                       D 
And we tried to survive traveling at the speed of love 

C 
Wo-ooh 
              Em 
When we were young 
          G             D 
When we adored the fabulous 
C 
Wo-ooh 
              Em 
When we were young 
             G            D  
We were the foolish fearless 
     C                      Em 
Never knowing the cost of what we paid 
           G               D 
Letting someone else be strong 
     C 
Wo-ooh 
G         D     G 
When we were young 

G 
In a moment of grace 
A long leap of faith 
    Em                              C 
The still more glorious dawn awaits my life 
                    D 
I’m here with the lovers 

C 
And we burned the bridges 
Em 
We’re crossing over 
G                D 
Just to see the firelight 
C                        G                D 
And the innocent are getting over being old tonight 

C 
Wo-ooh 
               Em 
When we were young 
            G                   D 
When everything was what it seemed 
    C 
Wo-ooh 
               Em 
When we were young 
           G                D 
And every day was how we dreamed 
      C                      Em                    G               D 
Never knowing the cost of what we paid letting someone else be strong 
C 
Wo-ooh 
     G    D     G 
When we were young 



C                    
And when you look at yourself tonight 
G    
Are you someone you recognize? 
C                                                D 
You can take back what you’ve given away but it must be the last time 

C 
Wo-ooh 
             Em   G  D 
When we were young 

C 
Wo-ooh 
             Em    G 
When we were young 
               D 
When we were young 


C 
Wo-ooh 
              Em 
When we were young 
          G             D 
When we adored the fabulous 
C 
Wo-ooh 
              Em 
When we were young 
             G            D  
We were the foolish fearless 
C 
Wo-ooh 
              Em 
When we were young 
G                         D 
We didn’t know it wouldn’t last 
C 
Wo-ooh 
G         D      G 
When we were young
