[Chorus]
E           B
We used to never say never
C#m                  A
Used to think we'll live forever
E        B              Amaj7
Flying free beneath the sun.
E        B
Days go running and hiding
C#m            A
The weeks go slipping and sliding,
E            B                       A
Years leave quicker every time they come
                        E
Remember when we were young

B                 C#m
Look back to the best of days
A              E
Collecting our yesterdays
B        E         E    Amaj7
As they build up one by one
B          C#m
Oh, how we beg and we borrow
A         C#m
Say we'll do it tomorrow,
B      C#m           E       Amaj7
But tomorrow never seems to come.

Chorus:
We used to never say never
Used to think we'd live for ever
Flying free beneath the sun
Days go running and hiding
The weeks go slipping and sliding
Years leave quicker every time they come
Remember when we were young

And we were boys on the beach
Everything was in reach
I know it's hard to remember
But oh how the years they vanish
I always wanted to learn Spanish
And travel 'round South America

Chorus:
We used to never say never
Used to think we'd live for ever
Flying free beneath the sun
Days go running and hiding
The weeks go slipping and sliding
Years leave quicker every time they come
Remember when we were young

We used to never say never
Used to think we'd live for ever
Flying free beneath the sun
Days go running and hiding
The weeks go slipping and sliding
Years leave quicker every time they come
Do you remember when we were young?

                       E        B      Amaj7
Remember when we were young, oh oh, oh oh
                       E        B      Amaj7
Remember when we were young, oh oh, oh oh
                       E        B      Amaj7
Remember when we were young, oh oh, oh oh
