Intro: G  C  D   
       G  C  D 
 
C       C/B            Am      D/F# 
We were young and so inspired 
               G             G/F#         Em  
We weren't the only ones who thought we'd change the world 
Am                   D 
No sun would set without us 
C         C/B             D 
No one we knew could ever doubt us 
C          C/B            Am   D/F# 
We had our future figured out 
          G                    G/F#            Em 
We knew a love like ours would always save the day 
F                        D  Dsus4  D 
And that we'd always be ok 

G             C       D    Dsus4  D 
But would you know me now 
G          C     D      Dsus4  D     
Would you lay me down beside   you 
Em      D/F# G       F       C  
Tell me everything I want to hear 
     C             D        C 
Like that was your favorite year 
     C             D        G 
Like that was your favorite year 
 
C             C/B            Am      D/F# 
You looked at me like no one else 
              G                 G/F#    Em  
But sometimes love just doesn't seem to conquer all 
Am                            D 
We search for someone else to blame 
C                                   D 
But sometimes things can't stay the same 

G             C       D    Dsus4  D 
But would you know me now 
G          C     D      Dsus4  D     
Would you lay me down beside   you 
Em      D/F# G       F       C  
Tell me everything I want to hear 
     C             D        C 
Like that was your favorite year 
     C             D        F 
Like that was your favorite year 
 
Bridge: 
F                 C 
Holding on to the memories  
                G                   D  
Of when we were younger, I can't forget 
F                    C  
Cause when we were together 
            Am          D 
That's when I was at my best
