[Verse 1]
Back [Em]in the day
when I was a teenager
Before [F]I had a[Dm] phone that's
a music play[F]er
[Em]Back in the day, back, back in the day
Back in the [G]day, back, back in [Em]the day
Back in the day when I was a teenager
Before [F]I had a phone that's
[Am]a music play[F]er
[G]Back in the day, back, back in the [Em]day
Back in [G]the day, back, [Em]back in the day
We went from having to be
home for a meal on time
[Am]Now [Dm]I'm trying to pay my b[Am]ills on time
It happened [F]so quick
[Em]I used to only go to school just
to hang with my friends
Damn, those days were carefree,
what happened to them?
We were some young 'uns just frontin'
[G]thinkin' we're grown up
Just [Em]cause we had a [Am]fake
ID and wore some
Coronas
[F]Remember[Em] when a sixter was
enough to make us [D]go nuts?
[Em]But every time one of us would throw up,
I'm so dumb
Sneakin' into the movies,
[G]tryna hook up with floozies
[C]I used to t[Am]ake like six turns
to roll [G]up a doobie
[Em]Back in school,
you could consider me the [D]class clown
[Em]I hit the real world,
[G]who's gonna laugh now?
[Em]Man, it's a trip[G] when I think back
to the innocent image [F]of me
As a kid with a [Am]pocket of lint [F]and a dream
[Em]That shit, it makes me wanna bring
back a time with no limits
But yet I know that it's appearance
is not what it seems
These are the [G]things that we go through
When nobody [D]showed you how
to [Am]stand up on your own two
So [F]you turn your [Em]nothing into
something and you rose through
All of the pollution and confusion
you're ex[G]posed to
Sin[Em]cerely though I hope you [G]get it clear
I hold the memory in my
[D]mind like [Am]a souvenir
Things are [Em]dif ferent now but
some things will never change
But I swear I can remember it like yesterday
So let me take you way [Bm]back
In the [G]day when I [Em]was a teenager
Before I had [Am]a phone that's
[D]a music play[Am]er
[Em]Back in the day, back, back in the day
Back in the day, back, back in the day
Back in the day when I was a teen[G]ager
Before [Em]I had a p[Am]hone
that's a music player
[G]Back in [Em]the day, back, back in the day
[G]Back in the day, back,
back in the [Em]day[D][Em][F][C][D][Em][D]
[G][Em]
[F][Am][D][Em][D]
First week of school,
what [Em]a funny time to think about
Think[D]ing that I'm cool,
cause a girl in year 9 asked me out
[Em]Back in the days,
I never knew it's just a phase
When we happened to blaze,
half of those memories erased
Sex was [G]a big deal,
sitting a test was a big deal
Shit even [Em]scratchy,
my name [Am]out upon that desk was a big deal
[Em]My world was tiny but the biggest
thing I'd ever known
[D]Learned that rules weren't [Em]set in stone
[Bm]Dam n that was the q[Em]uickest that I'd ever
My friends we grew together,
[G]causing trouble, do you know better?
[C]Back when the [Am]rumours spread,
I just might affect [Em]you forever
Youth can be ruthless,
when rumours that are [D]truthless
Can [Em]make you feel like losers,
if only then I knew this
Nerds got educated and they
made it and got [G]stocked up
Bul[Am]lies never graduated,
their jobs are [G]locked up
[Em]Girls we overrated stayed in
town and they got [D]knocked up
[Em]How much we changed since the
first day that we rocked up
We followed [G]fashion trends cause the
TV said so
Ten years and it's [Am]back again but
now it's seen as [G]retro
[Em]When funk was dance music,
now it's more like [D]techno
But [Em]every generation claims their
era was the best though
Slang was changing weekly
like the [G]rumours of a kiss
We [D]thought smoking was [Am]cheeky
and three schooners got us [F]pissed
It [Em]goes to show it's nice
to know that ignorance is bliss
And I can't help myself but
smile when I reminisce
Thinking back in the [G]day when
I was a teen[Em]ager
Before I had a [Am]phone that's
[D]a music play[C]er
[Em]Back in the day, back, back in the day
Back in the day, back, back in the day
Back in the day when I was a teen[G]ager
Before [Em]I had a p[F]hone,
that's [Am]a music player
[G]Back in the day, back, back in the [Em]day
Back in the day, back,
back in [Bm]the day[G][Em][Am]
[C]
Back [G]in the day, back, [Em]back in the day
[D]Back in the day, back,
back in [Bm]the day[G][Em][Am]
[Am]
[D]Bac[Bm]k in the[G] day, back, bac[Em]k in the day
Back [D]in the day, back, back in the day
you
