D  G [2x]


[Verse 1]

D             G                      D  G
You told your folks you were leaving
D          G                 D   G
We hit the road that evening
D           G               D  G
The rusted key to the hotel
D              G                     D  G
Unlocked your heart and mine as well


[Pre-Chorus 1]

Em
From the curb to the backseats
        Bm
And the streets to the bedsheets
        G
Getting kicks on the carpet
                         Em
Oh, baby, we were kidding ourselves alright


[Chorus]

A
We were only kids last night
D        G
Lalalala lalala
D        G
Lalalala lalala


[Verse 2]

D                  G                        D  G
Love, hope and the sweet taste of heartache
D             G                     D  G
The lipstick heart around our names


[Pre-Chorus 2]

Em
From the bed that we dreamt in
       Bm
To the cars that we slept in
        G
Getting kicks on the corner
                                Em
We swore that we would never give up our life


[Chorus]

A
'Cause we were only kids last night
D        G
Lalalala lalala
D        G
Lalalala lalala


[Pre-Chorus 3]

A                     Em
Seatbelts and red lights
A                      G
Headboards and headlights
                                   A
Well, who said that youth's wasted on the young?
             D                   G
Well, we're not gonna prove them right
Em
Yeah, we'll waste tomorrow


[Chorus]

A
'Cause we were only kids last night
D        G
Lalalala lalala
D        G
Lalalala lalala


[Bridge]

Dm
Throw your hair back to the wind
F
Let those freckles set fire to your face
C
You can bury my bed

'Cause I'll sleep when I'm dead
      A#
We're just one kiss away
                   A
From the kids that we were yesterday


[Chorus]
                                D   G
'Cause we were only kids last night
D        G
Lalalala lalala
D        G
Lalalala lalala
D        G
Lalalala lalala


[Pre-Chorus 4]

A                     Em
Seatbelts and red lights
A                      G
Headboards and headlights
                                   A
Well, who said that youth's wasted on the young?
             D                   G
Well, we're not gonna prove them right
Em
Yeah, we'll waste tomorrow

[Chorus]

A                          D  G
We were only kids last night
D        G
Lalalala lalala
D        G
Lalalala lalala (Oh Last night)
D        G
Lalalala lalala
D        G                                      D  G  D
Lalalala lalala (We were only kids last night)
