Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]If things were diffe[Em]rent, we were young
Skinny dipping, having fun, I [C]remember[Am]
Back in [Em]1991, when the story first begun,
I re[C]member (I re[Am]member)

[Verse 1]
[C]All of these shells,
holding the [Em]things [G]I've [Am]done[G]
[C]I knew myself
before I knew [Em]any [G]one[Am][G]
And cause we [C]all chew gum,
we all have fun with water guns
[Em]La da da[G] d[Am]a da da
da da da dum dum [G]dum
And we [C]all grew up, shit got tough
Shit just wasn't [Em]simple [G]enough, [Am]no[G]

[Interlude 1]
[C][Em][G][Am][G]
[C][Em][G][Am][G]

[Chorus 1]
[C]And whenever the sun[Am] came out,
we [Em]played
(We didn't want to get older,
we didn't want to get older)
[C]We would run on the blo[Am]ck
all night and day

[Verse 2]
(We didn't want to get older)
[C]What a mistake,
saying the [Em]way I[G] f[Am]elt[G]
[C]I'd say my name
[Em]influences [G]my [Am]self[G]
And cause I [C]started young,
I learned it done,
I didn't run [Em]La da d[G]a da[Am] da da[G]
I was [C]scared as fuck and out of touch,
and I was still [Em]testing [G]my [Am]luck, oh

[Interlude 2]
[C][Em][G][Am][G]
[C][Em][G][Am][G]

[Chorus 2]
[C]And whenever the sun[Am] came out,
we [Em]played
(We didn't want to get older,
we didn't want to get older)
[C]We would run on the blo[Am]ck
all night and [Em]day
(We didn't want to get older)
we didn't want to get older)
[C]And whenever the sun[Am] came out,
we [Em]played
(We didn't want to get older,
we didn't want to get older)
[C]I left mysel[Am]f in the all[Em]eyway

[Bridge 1]
If things were [Em]different, we were young
Skinny dipping, having fun,
I re[C]member
(I left my[Am]self in the alley...)
All I [Em]wanted would become
everything I ever loved,
I re[C]member
(I left my[Am]self in the alleyway)

[Outro 1]
[C][Em][G][Am][G]
[C][Em][G][Am][G]
[Repeat and fade]
