C Dm Am Am G F


[Verse]

C            Dm     Am
I turned you into a secret
Am     G       F
To memorize alone
C       Dm       Am
To justify my behavior
Am         G        F
Define who I've become
C       Dm        Am
Every time I tell my story
Am     G        F
I begin with you
C        Dm      Am
And I recall the night when I, when I
Am       G       F
When I broke in two



[Chorus]

        F          G            Dm       C
We were young, we were proud, we were promising
F
We were hiding our innocence, ooh
       F        G         Dm       C
We had time, we had love, we had everything
F
We had everything, ooh
        F          G            Dm       C
We were young, we were proud, we were promising
F
We were hiding our innocence, ooh
       F        G         Dm       C
We had time, we had love, we had everything
F
We had everything, ooh



[Verse]

C        Dm        Am
I turned you into a reason
Am      G           F
To keep myself tied up
C       Dm           Am
So when I think that I'm crazy
       Am      G           F
It was you that screwed me up
C      Dm                Am
 But I don't wanna let you go, oh
NC
No, I don't wanna let you go



[Chorus]

        F          G            Dm       C
We were young, we were proud, we were promising
F
We were hiding our innocence, ooh
       F        G         Dm       C
We had time, we had love, we had everything
F
We had everything, ooh
        F          G            Dm       C
We were young, we were proud, we were promising
F
We were hiding our innocence, ooh
       F        G         Dm       C
We had time, we had love, we had everything
F
We had everything, ooh



[Bridge]

G                    Dm             F
I told you I would always try to be brave
G              Dm                 F
You told me you were happy making mistakes
                G     Dm
'Til it was too late
                  F
'Til it was too late



[Chorus]

        F          G            Dm       C
We were young, we were proud, we were promising
F
We were hiding our innocence, ooh
       F        G         Dm       C
We had time, we had love, we had everything
F
We had everything, ooh
        F          G            Dm       C
We were young, we were proud, we were promising
F
We were hiding our innocence, ooh
       F        G         Dm       C
We had time, we had love, we had everything
F
We had everything, ooh
