Verse 1:
C majorC G+G
She said we're only young once
C majorC E minorEm
The back of a Chevrolet, "Hey Now" on the radio
Ashes in the tray
C majorC G+G
You can only get drunk once
On this kind of naivety
C majorC E minorEm
Who knows how long we’re always gonna feel this way?
Pre-Chorus:
C majorC G+G
Time goes by, and it'll dull the razor
C majorC E minorEm
And we don't know why
Let’s worry 'bout that later
C majorC G+G
'Cause if we never do nothin' else stupid
If we never do nothin' else stupid
C majorC E minorEm
At least we know someday
That we can look back and say
C majorC D MajorD
We were young once
Chorus:
C majorC
We were young once
G+G
We were gung-ho, singin' in the sun once
Backroads in the wild, on the run once
C majorC E minorEm
Cheap thrills, doing things in the wheat fields
C majorC G+G
We were young, we were young, we were young once
C majorC E minorEm
We were young once
Verse 2:
C majorC G+G
She said, "Let's get a cheap hotel
And make out in the hall"
C majorC E minorEm
I'll cover up your mouth and play it cool if my parents call
C majorC G+G
Let’s get lost tonight
Before the world’s too small
C majorC E minorEm
Someday we're gonna know too much to know it all
Pre-Chorus:
C majorC G+G
Time goes by, and it’ll dull the razor
C majorC E minorEm
And we don't know why
Let's worry 'bout that later
C majorC G+G
’Cause if we never do nothin' else stupid
If we never do nothin' else stupid
C majorC E minorEm
At least we know someday
We can look back and say
