When We Were Young chords by Rabbit

G
There were lions in my backyard

         C           G
gathered in a gilded cage

          G
where the circus used to winter

       C            G
in its final golden age

         Em                   Bm                  C              G
we would talk talk talk about joining up when the big top came undone

           D           C
there were lions in my backyard

             G
when we were young

G C G D x2
(Ahhh)

           G
There were castles in my bedroom

          C                 G
made from quilts and fitted sheets

          G
Me and my brother we would guard them

         C            G
with our plastic figurines

         Em                Bm               C              G
From the top bunk we could see out over the green carpet ocean

           D             C
There were castles in my bedroom

                 G
when we were young


C                G              Em                         G
One thing can be said about the road that's traveled less

            C              G             D
those who walk it live and love a little harder than the rest

        C                  G                Em              C
and I'm digging through my past like it's a buried treasure chest

            D
I'm looking for a little soul

       D
I lost down the rabbit hole

            D
oh we still go

            D
like we was told

                 G      C G D
when we were young

                 G      C G D
when we were young

                 G      C G D
when we were young

                 G      C G D G
when we were young

           G
There were starships made of crystal

        C               G
from my mother's chandelier

         G
we would fly them through the hallways

        C               G
til the hallways disappeared

       Em                Bm             C               G
making patterns out past Saturn in the swirling cosmic dust

           D                 C
there were starships made of crystal

                G
when we were young


C                G              Em                      G
one thing can be said about the road that's traveled less

            C              G                   D
there's so many twists and turns you don't got time for the regrets

             C                 G                  Em            C
we come from punching our time clock until you're sorely out of breath

        D
don't tell me when I'm done

           D
when I'm finally grown up

      D
cause we're still going

      D
like we was told

                 G      C G D
when we were young

                 G      C G D
when we were young

                 G      C G D
when we were young

                 G      C G D
when we were young

    G               C                    G
the letter box, keystone cops, helicopter coronation

G                 C                             G
swirling sea, dragon's teeth, it's not just my imagination

G
there were lions in my backyard

G
when we were young

C                 G
when we were young

when we were young
