C#          G#       D#           A#m     C# G# D#
We used to talk all night and not say a word
C#            G#       D#   A#m        C# G# D#
When I would hop into your red Firebird
C#         G#              D#           A#m
And, man alive, we would drive just to drive
   C# G# D#
around   town
C#              G#    D#             A#m     C# G#
'Cause in your car we understood and figured out
     D#
That everything changes

Chorus:
C#                  G#                 D#
Tell me why I look back and I wanna cry
             A#m
Sometimes I feel like we grew up too fast
C#                 G#                      D#
You and I had the time of our younger lives
             A#m
Sometimes I sigh and think about the past
C#                       D#
But it's alright, cause everything changes

A basement full of boys building homemade bombs
AJ cut his finger and said, “go get your mom”
I saw it all through the windshield of
my white truck, Troy
Lotsa ups, lotsa downs, lots of growing up
'Cause everything changes
Everything changes

Chorus

Fm           C#
Hey Billy, remember when
G#            D#
It was just us (it was just us)
Fm                  C#
Pretending we were Nash and Coral
G#               D#
On the school bus
            C#
I wouldn't change a thing,
       D#            C#  G# D#
'cause everything changes
 C#       G#         D#
(Changes, changes, changes)

Life is different now and that's okay with me
I moved away and you started a family
But deep inside you and I are still the same kids
'Cause you’re my brother and that won’t ever change
Even though everything changes

Chorus:
Tell me why I look back and I wanna cry
Sometimes I feel like we grew up too fast
You and I had the time of our younger lives
Sometimes I sigh and think about the past
But it's alright, yeah it's alright

There's a new guest room in my parents' home
The carpet got replaced a couple years ago
Because it isn't my bedroom anymore
There’s new photographs on the freezer door
But it's alright, 'cause everything changes
(Everything changes)

We should talk all night and not say a word
('Cause everything changes)
Let me hop into your red Firebird again
