We Were

G  A  G  A


[Verse 1]
       G                                            A
We were just a couple years short of the age by my name on my fake ID
          G                                             A
And still 'bout a hundred away from the day your daddy said you could run with me
        G                                             A
We were a couple of line-steppers that just couldn't wait to step over the line
        G                                    A
Never thinking we wouldn't last, I was your first and you were mine


[Chorus]
       G                                            A                 D
We were leather jackets hanging onto a Harley, two heartbeats in the moonlight
       G                                         A            D
We were both feet hanging out over the edge of a water tower skyline
    Bm                             A                            G                          D
At least there's a little bit of sweet in the bitter, though a part of me is always gonna miss 
her
  Em7                 A
I am who I am, I just miss who I was when we were

[Verse 2]
       G                                         A
We were gonna make it, weren't we, baby? Had it all laid out in out in our mind
        G                                       A
By the time we knew time was runnin' out, we'd done run out of time
       G                             A
We were a downtown, Saturday night; last call, cover band
          G                                                    A
'Til that last song played, never thought we'd fade like the stamp on the back of her hand


[Chorus]
       G                                           A              D
We were her on my shoulders, lighter in the air, "Pour Some Sugar on Me"
       G                                       A                 D
We were top down at Johnson's field when she whispered that she wants me
   Bm                              A                            G                          D
At least there's a little bit of sweet in the bitter, though a part of me is always gonna miss 
her
  Em7                  A
I am who I am, I just miss who I was when we were

G  A  G  A


[Chorus]
       G                                            A                 D
We were leather jackets hanging onto a Harley, two heartbeats in the moonlight
       G                                         A            D
We were both feet hanging out over the edge of a water tower skyline
    Bm                             A                            G                          D
At least there's a little bit of sweet in the bitter, though a part of me is always gonna miss 
her
  Em7                 A
I am who I am, I just miss who I was when we were


G       A
                Mmm Yes, I do
G       A

            G                                  A
Friends say, Oh well; Let that ship sail, you gotta let go of her
         G                                            A
Just wasn't meant to be, but somewhere down deep; I still believe...
             G
that we were
