We Were Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Asus4]
[A][G][Asus4]
[A]We [G]were just

[Verse 1]
a couple years short of the age
By [A]my name on a fake ID
And [G]still 'bout a hundred
away from the day
Your daddy [A]said you could run with me
We were [G]a couple of line steppers
Who just couldn't wait [A]to
step [Asus4]over the [A]line
Never [G]thinkin' we wouldn't last
I was your first an[A]d you were mine

[Verse 2]
And we [G]were leather jackets
hangin' onto a Harley
Two [A]heartbeats in the moon
[D]light
[G](We were) both feet hangin'
out over the edge
Of a wa[A]ter tower sky[D]line
At [Bm]least there's a little bit of
[A]sweet in the bitter
Though a [G]part of me is always gonna [D]miss it
I [Em]am who I am, I just mi[Asus4]ss who I
[A]was when we [G]were[Asus4][A]
Mm- mm
[G]

[Verse 3]
[Asus4][A]
We [G]were gonna make it, weren't we,
baby?
Had it [A]all laid out in our mind
[Asus4]By the time we k[G]new
time was runnin' out
We [A]done run out of time
And we [G]were downtown Saturday night
Last- [Asus4]call cove[A]r band[Asus4]
'Til the last [G]song played,
never thought we'd fade
Like the [A]stamp on the [Asus4]back of h[A]er hand

[Verse 4]
We were [G]her on my shoulders,
lighter in the air
"Pour [A]Some Sugar On [D]Me"
[G](We were) top down
at Johnson's field
When she [A]whispered that she want[D]s me
At [Bm]least there's a little bit of
[A]sweet in the bitter
Though a [G]part of me is always gonna [D]miss her
I [Em]am who I am,
I just [Asus4]miss who I was [A]when we were[G]
Mm- mm
[F#m][G]

[Verse 5]
[D]
We [G]were leather jackets hangin'
onto a Harley
[A]Two heartbeats in the moon
[D]light
[G](We were) both feet
hangin' out over the edge
To the wa[A]ter tower sky[D]line
At [Bm]least there's a little bit of
[A]sweet in the bitter
Though a [G]part of me is always gonna [D]miss her
I [Em]am who I am, I j[Asus4]ust miss who I was[A]
when [G]we [Asus4]were[A]
[Asus4]
[D]Mm, [G]yes, [Asus4]I do
[A]Friends say,

[Verse 6]
[G]"Oh well,
let that ship sail
You got[A]ta let go of her"
Just wasn't [G]meant to be
But somewhere down deep
I still [A]believe
That we were
