No Capo
Between G and Cadd9 in the chorus, you can

G
Photograph, remembering the summer
G
It takes me back,
Cadd9
To Southern California.
G
Where the girls would all pass
Cadd9
On the boardwalk and laugh
Cadd9
At our desperate attempts and our sunburned backs
C
We never had a chance, I remember that
Am
And no matter what we do,
Cadd9
We’ll never lose what we had growing up.
Cadd9
Won’t bring us down.
Cadd9
Yeah, growing up,
D
It won’t bring us down,
Cadd9
Growing up won’t bring us down
Cadd9
Growing up won’t bring us down
Cadd9
Graduate, what’s a kid to do now?
Cadd9
Get away, yeah-ah.
Cadd9
We’ve got so much to prove.
G
Cause it’s time to move on
Cadd9
And I’m stuck to let go,
Cadd9
But then Wonderwall comes on the radio,
C
I flashback to the night in your parent’s yard,
D
When we drank too much and we talked about god...
Cadd9
Growing up, won’t bring us down.
Cadd9
Growing up, it won’t bring us down.
Em
We’re in this together,
C
Yeah, we’ll make it somehow,
D
Nothing’s gonna stop us now...
Cadd9
Growing up won’t bring us down
Cadd9
Growing up won’t bring us down
G
Growing up won’t bring us down
D
Oh-oh-oh
Cadd9
Photograph, oh give me something to remember
Cadd9
Growing up, won’t bring us down.
Cadd9
Growing up, it won’t bring us down.
Em
We’re in this together,
C
Yeah, we’ll make it somehow,
D
Nothing’s gonna stop us now...
Cadd9
Growing up won’t bring us down
Cadd9
Growing up won’t bring us down (won’t bring us down)
Cadd9
Growing up won’t bring us down (won’t bring us down)
Cadd9
Growing up won’t bring us... down.
