When We Were Young chords by Brett Dennen

Chords with lyrics

verse 1:

C majorC
Remember when we were young
        FF
We felt like the luckiest ones
      DmDm
Nothing to worry about
           G+G
The whole world was a hand-me-down

C majorC
It's hard to be different
             FF
It's even harder when you wanna fit in
         DmDm
High school was a catastrophe
        G+G
It was a failure factory

FF
Turn it up, turn it up
G+G
Turn up your radio loud
C majorC
Don't forget where you come from
FF
It's too soon to be proud

FF
Remember when
G+G            FF
We... were... young
FF
Remember when
G+G            FF    C majorC
We... were... young


verse 2:

C majorC
Remember when we were broke
      FF
Money would come and go
          DmDm
The whole world is a hand-me-down
      G+G
So you gotta wear it proud

C majorC
Whenever I reminisce
        FF
I know that the greatest risk
        DmDm
Is giving up the fun for pay
        G+G
I don't want to live that way

FF
Oh tear it up, tear it up
G+G
Tear up that page
C majorC
I don't wanna grow up
FF
Don't wanna act my age

FF        G+G
Remember when, we were young

FF
Turn it up, turn it up
G+G
Turn up your radio loud
C majorC
Don't forget where you come from
FF
It's too soon to be proud

FF        G+G
Remember when, we were young
FF        G+G
Remember when, we... were... young...

How will I know if I don't ask why
I won't let it pass me by
I see my life in a faded sky
Slippin away, ayyyy ayyyyyy

FF        G+G
Remember when, we... were... young...
