When We Were Young
Album: Go For It

Capo 2

G
There were lions in my backyard
         C           G
gathered in a gilded cage
          G
where the circus used to winter
       C            G
in its final golden age
         Em                   Bm                  C              G
we would talk talk talk about joining up when the big top came undone
           D           C
there were lions in my backyard
             G
when we were young
G C G D x2
(Ahhh)
           G
There were castles in my bedroom
          C                 G
made from quilts and fitted sheets
          G
Me and my brother we would guard them
         C            G
with our plastic figurines
         Em                Bm               C              G
From the top bunk we could see out over the green carpet ocean
           D             C
There were castles in my bedroom
                 G
when we were young

C                G              Em                         G
One thing can be said about the road that's traveled less
            C              G             D
those who walk it live and love a little harder than the rest
        C                  G                Em              C
and I'm digging through my past like it's a buried treasure chest
            D
I'm looking for a little soul
       D
I lost down the rabbit hole
            D
oh we still go
            D
like we was told
                 G      C G D
when we were young
                 G      C G D
when we were young
                 G      C G D
when we were young
                 G      C G D G
when we were young
           G
There were starships made of crystal
        C               G
from my mother's chandelier
         G
we would fly them through the hallways
        C               G
til the hallways disappeared
       Em                Bm             C               G
making patterns out past Saturn in the swirling cosmic dust
           D                 C
there were starships made of crystal
                G
when we were young

C                G              Em                      G
one thing can be said about the road that's traveled less
            C              G                   D
there's so many twists and turns you don't got time for the regrets
             C                 G                  Em            C
we come from punching our time clock until you're sorely out of breath
        D
don't tell me when I'm done
           D
when I'm finally grown up
      D
cause we're still going
      D
like we was told
                 G      C G D   
when we were young
                 G      C G D
when we were young
                 G      C G D
when we were young
                 G      C G D
when we were young
    G               C                    G
the letter box, keystone cops, helicopter coronation
G                 C                             G
swirling sea, dragon's teeth, it's not just my imagination
G
there were lions in my backyard
G
when we were young
C                 G
when we were young

when we were young
