B         E         B
We were young, unafraid
         F#              B
We were finding our own way
B            E                 B
There is no wind, there is no rain
       F#
In the eye of the hurricane
G#m             F#  
Every time you climb that mountain
B                    E
There's another one left to climb
G#m               F#  
Don't go looking for tomorrow
B             F#
Leaving yesterday behind

Chorus:
  B            E
Writing every page together
                        F#
Those days were not to last forever
G#m      B       E
Diamonds in the rough
E       F#   B
When we were us
 B                  E
Burn the house and torch the skyline
                    F#
There was more than fire in my eyes
G#m         B         E
Love meant more than lust
E       F#   B
When we were us

We were one, born and raised
More than blood runs through these veins
Cuts can heal, scars will fade
What we had will never change
Seasons pass and time will move on
You don't ever have to let it go
You can only go so far now
Till you're on your way back home

Chorus

 E                    F#        G#m
Memories are nothing more than ghosts that we let in
 F#         B                     F#
     Don't be afraid of them, do you remember when
