Back When We Were Young

C  G

[Chorus]

G                 C                       G
Back when we were young everybody came to see us
                    D                       G
Everybody wanted to be us back when we were young
                    C                           G
We loved each other so all our friends told one another
                      D                       G
And we even told each other back when we were young

[Verse]

G
It was laughin' it was dancin'
       C                               G
It was cigarettes and bourbon flavored kisses
       D
It was alligator shoes and new blue suits
                        G
And anything that money wishes

It was sittin' up all night and waitin'
C                             G
For the dawn to bring another wondrous day
       D
It was holding hands and thinking
                                 G
That tomorrow is a million years away

[Chorus]

G                 C                       G
Back when we were young everybody came to see us
                    D                       G
Everybody wanted to be us back when we were young
                    C                           G
We loved each other so all our friends told one another

                      D                       G
And we even told each other back when we were young

[Verse]

G
It was rolling sevens every time
    C                          G
And thinking it was never ever gonna end
     D
Back then we even thought of time itself
                        G
As being something of a passing friend
                                    C
It was buyin' one another things we didn't need
                      G
And birthdays were so corny
     D
Back then we even had some friends
                        G
Live as far away as California
                  C
Back when we were young
