[INTRO] BB C#C# F#F# x4
[VERSE]
        BB        C#C#      F#F#
'Cause it was Bell Biv DeVoe, playing on my radio
       BB      C#C#      F#F#
And I had Wu-Tang Clan living in my stereo
        BB        C#C#  F#F#
Mama said we're 6th generation Oregonians
         BB    C#C#         F#F#
I was rocking in Jordans with reflector tongues
       BB        C#C#         F#F#
Two kids with wet cement living down in their souls
           BB           C#C#            F#F#
They say what gets caught when you're young stays there when you're old
  BB               C#C#    F#F#
So misunderstood they say you're up to no good
             BB    C#C#      F#F#
And now we're trying our best to start it over again

[PRE-CHORUS]
               BB
If I'd had met you at the playground
C#C#        F#F#
Before a hand could tear your world down
              BB
Before I slammed down the door and
  C#C#          F#F#
You said I'm just like my old man
              BB
Before I put you in those boxes
     C#C#       F#F#
And we learned how to disagree
              BB
And how your family is a rocket
    C#C#      F#F#
That blows up in infidelity

[CHORUS]
    BB        C#C#  F#F#
For crying out loud I wanna know
     BB            C#C#    F#F#
How the waves keep on crashing down the doors
     BB               C#C#        F#F#
Feel the weight of the world and they keep on bringing more
       BB      C#C#    F#F#
If it's just you and me on the floor
       BB       C#C#    F#F#
Go grab your coat and I'll drive us home
          BB
Like we were just kids
C#C#    F#F#
Just, j-j-just kids
         BB     C#C# F#F#
J-j-just kids, just, just kids
      BB
Like we were just kids
 C#C#       F#F#
Just kids, j-j-just kids
BB      C#C#    F#F#
J-j-just kids, j-j-just kids

[VERSE]
          BB     C#C#      F#F#
Bob Marley was painted on my high-school walls
         BB    C#C#       F#F#
But I just disappeared into the darkroom hall
     BB       C#C#        F#F#
Never thought I'd ever make it quite this far
          BB      C#C#          F#F#
Teacher put up my photographs, say "son you'll be a star"
     BB        C#C#            F#F#
It was smoking mirrors, running down through my veins
      BB          C#C#        F#F#
I kept on running downtown, running from God's grace
           BB        C#C#      F#F#
Every morning I'd climb back through, those window panes
      BB          C#C#        F#F#
And try my best to ride it out over instrumental tapes

[PRE-CHORUS]
               BB
If I'd had met you at the playground
C#C#        F#F#
Before a hand could tear your world down
              BB
Before I slammed down the door and
  C#C#          F#F#
You said I'm just like my old man
              BB
Before I put you in those boxes
     C#C#       F#F#
And we learned how to disagree
              BB
And how your family is a rocket
    C#C#      F#F#
That blows up in infidelity

[CHORUS]
    BB        C#C#  F#F#
For crying out loud I wanna know
     BB            C#C#    F#F#
How the waves keep on crashing down the doors
     BB               C#C#        F#F#
Feel the weight of the world and they keep on bringing more
       BB      C#C#    F#F#
If it's just you and me on the floor
       BB       C#C#    F#F#
Go grab your coat and I'll drive us home
          BB
Like we were just kids
C#C#    F#F#
Just, j-j-just kids
         BB     C#C# F#F#
J-j-just kids, just, just kids
      BB
Like we were just kids
 C#C#       F#F#
Just kids, j-j-just kids
BB      C#C#    F#F#
J-j-just kids, j-j-just kids

[BRIDGE x4]
BB           C#C#  F#F#
I can feel it in the way we try
F#F#
I can feel it in the way we fight
BB       C#C#     F#F#
We're standing side by side
F#F#         BB
