We Did It When We Were Young

	  		

Intro: C#m  G#m  A9  E  A9  E  B 

C#m                    G#m 
Don't write me no more letters 
A9                     E 
My mailbox is full of bombs 
A9                   E           B 
Between you and the kooks on my block 
C#m                  G#m 
I don't remember the good times 
A9                           E 
I wasn't there and you were kind 
A9                    E       B 
And my wife has some dogs in our yard 

A9                   E           B           C#m 
And I cannot hold a candle for every pretty girl 
A9                      E 
We were strangers many hours 
   B 
And I missed you for so long 
           C#m                 B 
When we were lions, lovers in combat 
       A9                                   E    B 
Faded like your name on those jeans that I burned 

E              B 
But I am older now 
C#m                 A9 
And we did it when we were young 
E           B 
I am older now 
C#m                  A9 
And we did it when we were young 


C#m                  G#m 
There are no reasons to believe 
    A9                    E 
I buried my faith on the block 
     A9                      E 
With your heart and your clothes 
     B 
When I find 
C#m               G#m 
I don't feel you or recall 
     A9                         E 
I'll put your bones out in the yard 
   A9                E               B 
Someone else to be called and called by 

A9                   E           B           C#m 
And I cannot hold a candle for every pretty girl 
A9                      E 
We were strangers many hours 
   B 
And I missed you for so long 
           C#m                 B 
When we were lions, lovers in combat 
       A9                                   E    B 
Faded like your name on those jeans that I burned 

E              B 
But I am older now 
C#m                 A9 
And we did it when we were young 
E           B 
I am older now 
C#m                  A9 
And we did it when we were young
