verse 1:
C
If things were different, we were young
Em
Skinny dipping, having fun, I remember
C Em
Back in 1991, when the story first begun, I remember (I remember)
C Em
All of these shells, holding the things I've done
C Em
I knew myself before I knew anyone
Pre-Chorus
C
And cause we all chew gum, we all have fun with water guns
Am
La da da da da da, da da dum dum dum
C
And we all grew up, sh** got tough
Am
Sh** just wasn't simple enough
C Em C Em
Ahh Oh
C Am Em
And whenever the sun came out, we played
(We didn't want to get older, we didn't want to get older)
C Am Em
We would run on the block all night and day
(We didn't want to get older)
verse 2:
C Em
What a mistake, saying the way I felt
C Em
I say my name influences myself
Pre-Chorus
C
And cause I started young, I learned it done, I didn't run
Am
La da da da da da
C Am
I was scared as f*** and out of touch, and I was still testing my luck, oh
C Em C Em
C Am Em
And whenever the sun came out, we played
(We didn't want to get older, we didn't want to get older)
C Am Em
We would run on the block all night and day
(We didn't want to get older, we didn't want to get older)
C Am Em
And whenever the sun came out, we played
(We didn't want to get older, we didn't want to get older)
C Am Em
I left myself in the alleyway
verse 3/ Outro:
C
If things were different, we were young
Em
Skinny dipping, having fun, I remember
(I left myself in the alleyway)
C Em
All I wanted would become everything I ever loved, I remember
C Em
(I left myself in the alleyway)
C Em (6x)
