[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][Em][D][C][G][Em]
[D][C][G][Em][D][C][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
When we were young the world [G]seemed so old
[Em]Careless and cold
We did what we were told
in [C]our [Am]lives
When we were [D]young
Had [G]the world by the tail
Good would prevail
Star[Em]ships at sail
And none of us would fail in [C]this [Am]life
Not when you're [D]young

[Verse 2]
We [C]were drawn to whoever
could [Em]keep us together
And [G]bound by the heavens [D]above
And [C]we tried to survive trav
[Em]eling at the speed of love
[D]

[Verse 3]
[C]Woah when we were [G]young
When we ad[Em]ored the fab[D]ulous
[C]Woah when we were [G]young
We were [Em]the foolish fear[D]less
Never [C]knowing the cost
of [G]what we paid
Letting [Em]someone else [D]be strong
[C]Woah when [G]we [D]were young
[G]

[Verse 4]
In a moment of grace
A long leap of faith
[Em]The still more glorious dawn awaits
It's [C]my [Am]life
I'm here with the lov[D]ers

[Verse 5]
And we [C]burned the bridges
[Em]We're crossing over
[G]Just to see the [D]firelight
And [C]the innocent are [Em]getting over
Being [D]old tonight
[G]Woah

[Verse 6]
[C]when we were you[G]ng
When [Em]everything was
what it [D]seemed
[C]Woah when we were [G]young
And every[Em]day was how we [D]dreamed
Never [C]knowing the cost
of [G]what we paid
Letting [Em]someone else [D]be strong
[C]Woah when [G]we [D]were young
[G]

[Verse 7]
And when you [Am]look at yourself tonight
Are [G]you someone you recognize?
[C]You can take back what
you've [Am]given away
But it [Em]must be the last time
[D]

[Verse 8]
[C]Woah when we were [G]young[Em][D]
[C]Woah when we were [G]young[Em]
When we were [D]young

[Verse 9]
[C]Woah when we were [G]young
When we ad[Em]ored the fab[D]ulous
[C]Woah when we were [G]young
We were [Em]the foolish fear[D]less
[G]Woah [D]whe[C]n we were young[G]
We didn't [Em]know it wouldn't [D]last
[C]Woah when [G]we [D]were [G]young
