We were just kids just living in 
Wide-eyed, innocence 
minivan floor like a tenement 
We were just kids who believed in 
More than just dreams in 
More than just justified 
Ends to a means 

With the sky wide-open 
           E 
Like a child, eyes-open 
           D 
like a child, unbroken 
by the wheels gone by 
We know 


Chorus  
A 
Who we are 
                              D 
(in the fever of our youth) 
A 
Who we are 
                                          D 
(We’ve got nothing left to lose) 
E 
Who we are 
                                              Bm 
(There’s still time enough to choose) 
D

We were just kids 
Just limited, misfit, itinerant 
D 
Outcasts singing bout the dissonance 
F#m 
We were just kids, wide-open 
Like a child, eyes-open, 
Like a child, unbroken 
by the wheels gone by 
D 
We know 

Chorus 
D 
They said it’s complicated 
                                                     A 
They said we’d never make it this far 
            E 
But we are 
D 
They said the fight would break us 
               A 
But the struggle helped to make 
E 
Who we are 
F#m 
Who we are
