[Verse 1]
C C/B Fsus2 C
I'm pretty sure I will never be the king of some great nation.
C C/B Gadd4 G
I'm pretty sure you will never fly a rocket 'round the sun.
[Chorus]
Fsus2 G
When we were young, when we were young,
Em Fsus2 G
The whold world hung, like fruit for the taking.
[Verse 2]
C C/B Fsus2 C
And now I'm pretty sure I will never learn to speak a second language.
C C/B Gadd4 G
I'm pretty sure you will never learn what made your father run.
[Chorus]
Fsus2 G
When we were young, when we were young,
Em Fsus2
The whold world hung, like fruit for the taking.
[Bridge 1]
Em Fsus2
Well, it's harder, I guess, doing your best when you're under duress.
Em G
You hollow your chest just to better digest the fact that your wasting your life.
[Verse 3]
C C/B Fsus2 G
I put my tie on in the morning, from now on I will go 'round tieless.
C C/B Gadd4 G
I'm pretty sure you will come to throw all your pills away.
[Chorus]
Fsus2 G
When we were young, when we were young,
Em Fsus2
The whold world hung, like fruit for the taking.
Fsus2 G
When we were young, when we were young,
Em Fsus2
We'd scream and run just 'cause we liked it.
[Break]
Fsus2 G Em Fsus2 x2
[Bridge 2]
Em
Well, it's harder, I guess, doing your best
Fsus2
When you're under duress. You hollow your chest
Em
just to try and undress this waking at night,
Fsus2
wondering how the hell'd you mess it?
G
What the hell’d you miss?
Em
Well, it's harder, I guess, doing your best
Fsus2
When you're under duress. You hollow your chest
Em G
just to better digest the fact that you’re wasting your life.
[Chorus 4]
Fsus2 G
When we were young, when we were young,
Em Fsus2
The whold world hung, like fruit for the taking.
Fsus2 G
When we were young, when we were young,
Em Fsus2 G
We'd scream and run just 'cause we liked it.
