[Verse 1]
B F#
I saw a photograph from ten years back
E
It's you and I, we're standin' in the rain
B F#
Somewhere outside Atlanta, and I think my twelve-seat van
E
Is right there out of frame
[Pre-Chorus]
B
This was before I knew my way around Los Angeles
F# E
Before I ever cared about nice neighborhoods
Bmaj7 F#
We were drivin' through the night, sleepin' on hotel floors
E
And thinkin' that we had it good
[Chorus]
B C#m7
We were kids back then, thinkin' we could live forever
E
We were kids back then (you and me)
B C#m7
We were wild and free, takin' on the world together
E
We were kids back then
N.C.
That's how we're always gonna be
[Post-Chorus]
B
La la la, la la la la
C#m
La la la, la la la la
E
La la la, la la la la
La la la, la la la la
[Verse 2]
B F#
Passed an old friend on my timeline who had lately been on my mind
E
We were close as blood
B F#
If we sat down for a drink I think we'd forget all the stupid reasons
E
We lost touch (we lost touch)
It was just because
[Chorus]
B C#m7
We were kids back then, thinkin' we could live forever
E
We were kids back then (you and me)
B C#m7
We were wild and free, takin' on the world together
E
We were kids back then
That's how we're always gonna be
[Post-Chorus]
B
La la la, la la la la
C#m7
La la la, la la la la
E
La la la, la la la la
La la la, la la la
[Bridge]
F# G#m E
All you got to do is blink your eyes and the years go by like that
B
They fly right past
F# G#m E
I don't want to wait to realize everything that you and I
Already have
[Verse 3]
B F#
Five-thirty in the mornin', and we're awake again
E
You are holdin' baby Jane
B F#
I lean in to take a picture, when it hits me
E
In twenty years, I will look back and say
[Chorus]
B
We were kids back then, thinkin' we would live forever
E
We were kids back then
B
We're so young and free, takin' on the world together
E
We were kids back then
That's how we're always gonna be
[Interlude]
B C#m E
[Chorus]
B C#m7
We were kids back then, thinkin' we could live forever
E

That's how we're always gonna be
