INTRO: B C# F# x4
VERSE
B C# F#
'Cause it was Bell Biv DeVoe, playing on my radio
B C# F#
And I had Wu-Tang Clan living in my stereo
B C# F#
Mama said we're 6th generation Oregonians
B C# F#
I was rocking in Jordans with reflector tongues
B C# F#
Two kids with wet cement living down in their souls
B C# F#
They say what gets caught when you're young stays there when you're old
B C# F#
So misunderstood they say you're up to no good
B C# F#
And now we're trying our best to start it over again
Pre-Chorus
B
If I'd had met you at the playground
C# F#
Before a hand could tear your world down
B
Before I slammed down the door and
C# F#
You said I'm just like my old man
B
Before I put you in those boxes
C# F#
And we learned how to disagree
B
And how your family is a rocket
C# F#
That blows up in infidelity
B C# F#
For crying out loud I wanna know
B C# F#
How the waves keep on crashing down the doors
B C# F#
Feel the weight of the world and they keep on bringing more
B C# F#
If it's just you and me on the floor
B C# F#
Go grab your coat and I'll drive us home
B
Like we were just kids
C# F#
Just, j-j-just kids
B C# F#
J-j-just kids, just, just kids
B
Like we were just kids
C# F#
Just kids, j-j-just kids
B C# F#
J-j-just kids, j-j-just kids
VERSE
B C# F#
Bob Marley was painted on my high-school walls
B C# F#
But I just disappeared into the darkroom hall
B C# F#
Never thought I'd ever make it quite this far
B C# F#
Teacher put up my photographs, say "son you'll be a star"
B C# F#
It was smoking mirrors, running down through my veins
B C# F#
I kept on running downtown, running from God's grace
B C# F#
Every morning I'd climb back through, those window panes
B C# F#
And try my best to ride it out over Instrumental tapes
Pre-Chorus
B
If I'd had met you at the playground
C# F#
Before a hand could tear your world down
B
Before I slammed down the door and
C# F#
You said I'm just like my old man
B
Before I put you in those boxes
C# F#
And we learned how to disagree
B
And how your family is a rocket
C# F#
That blows up in infidelity
Chorus
B C# F#
For crying out loud I wanna know
B C# F#
How the waves keep on crashing down the doors
B C# F#
Feel the weight of the world and they keep on bringing more
B C# F#
If it's just you and me on the floor
B C# F#
Go grab your coat and I'll drive us home
B
Like we were just kids
C# F#
Just, j-j-just kids
B C# F#
J-j-just kids, just, just kids
B
Like we were just kids
C# F#
Just kids, j-j-just kids
B C# F#
J-j-just kids, j-j-just kids
BRIDGE x4
B C# F#
I can feel it in the way we try
F#
I can feel it in the way we fight
B C# F#
We're standing side by side
F# B
Like we were just kids
