              E
When we were young
the world felt so small
When we were young nothing
could break us apart
       C#m
Do you know your eyes
           A            E
are like stars? Summer nights
                    G#m E G#m E G#m E
making out in my car

Chorus:
E
When we were young
 B  
Are you still loud and
free like every other?

Nothing's too fast
       A
cause we explode together

Do you still think of
me like maybe ever?

When we were young
G#m                  A
Losing something we had
                    E
when we were younger

            E
Back in the day we used
to say "fuck them all"
Prodigal sons were second to
none they gave me a job
                 C#m
Now I'm stuck at work like a
typical jerk with nowhere
    A                 E
to go We fell out of touch
now everything sucks
I'm out on my own

Chorus:

When we were young

Are you still loud and
free like every other?

Do you still think of
me like maybe ever?
