We Were

[Verse 1]
       G                           
We were just a couple years short 
                 A
of the age by my name on my fake ID
          G                        
And still 'bout a hundred away from
                     A
 the day your daddy said you could 
run with me
        G                        
We were a couple of line-steppers 
                     A
that just couldn't wait to step over
 the line
        G                          
Never thinking we wouldn't last, I 
          A
was your first and you were mine


[Chorus]
       G                           
We were leather jackets hanging 
                 A                 
onto a Harley, two heartbeats in the
D
 moonlight
       G                           
We were both feet hanging out over 
              A            D
the edge of a water tower skyline
    Bm                          
At least there's a little bit of 
   A                            G 
sweet in the bitter, though a part
                         D
 of me is always gonna miss her
  Em7                 A
I am who I am, I just miss who I was
 when we were

[Verse 2]
       G                           
We were gonna make it, weren't we, 
              A
baby? Had it all laid out in out in 
our mind
        G                          
By the time we knew time was 
             A
runnin' out, we'd done run out of 
time
       G                           
We were a downtown, Saturday night;
  A
 last call, cover band
          G                      
'Til that last song played, never 
                              A
thought we'd fade like the stamp on 
the back of her hand


[Chorus]
       G                           
We were her on my shoulders, 
                A              D
lighter in the air, "Pour Some Sugar
 on Me"
       G                           
We were top down at Johnson's field
            A                 D
 when she whispered that she wants 
me
   Bm                           
At least there's a little bit of 
   A                            G 
sweet in the bitter, though a part
                         D
 of me is always gonna miss her
  Em7                  A
I am who I am, I just miss who I was
 when we were

G       A
                Mmm Yes, I do
G       A

            G                      
Friends say, Oh well; Let that ship
            A
 sail, you gotta let go of her
         G                  
Just wasn't meant to be, but 
                          A
somewhere down deep; I still 
believe...
             G
that we were
