We Did It When We Were Young chords by The Gaslight Anthem

Chords with lyrics

It's really simple, just palm mute these power chords throughout the song.
In the last chorus they start strumming openly.
Hope you enjoy, one of my favorites off the new album.

INTRO: B minorBm F#F# G+G D MajorD G+G D MajorD A augmentedA

 B minorBm         F#F#
Don't write me no more letters
 G+G          D MajorD
My mailbox is full of bombs
    G+G         D MajorD      A augmentedA
Between you and the kooks on my block
   B minorBm          F#F#
I don't remember the good times
    G+G          D MajorD
I wasn't there and you were kind
    G+G       D MajorD      A augmentedA
And my wife has some dogs in our yard
   G+G        D MajorD     A augmentedA    B minorBm
And I cannot hold a candle for every pretty girl
    G+G          D MajorD
We were strangers many hours
    A augmentedA
And I missed you for so long
       B minorBm         A augmentedA
When we were lions, lovers in combat
        G+G             D-A-G
Faded like your name on those jeans that I burned
      D MajorD  A augmentedA
But I am older now
     B minorBm        G+G
And we did it when we were young
     D MajorD  A augmentedA
I am older now
     B minorBm        G+G
And we did it when we were young

*Repeat the exact pattern as the first half of the song*

There are no reasons to believe
I buried my faith in an unmarked plot
With your heart and your clothes
When I find that I don't feel you or recall
I'll put your bones out in the yard
Someone else to be called and called by
And I cannot hold a candle for every pretty girl
We were strangers many hours
And I missed you for so long
When we were lions, lovers in combat
Faded like your name on those jeans that I burned
But I am older now
And we did it when we were young
I am older now
And we did it when we were young
I am older now
And we did it when we were young
I am older now

*A note, they hold out the last line of the chorus by playing*
     B minorBm  A augmentedA       D MajorD
