We were the kids from the 
cul-de-sacs

That got out somehow without looking
 back
C
It's over
G
It's over


D
We were the ones that grew up too 
fast

On the front porch steps when we 
still had friends
C
It's over
G
It's over


D                         Dsus2   
We were the kids who were laughing
 Dsus4
 last
D                   Dsus2    Dsus4
With big ideas and failed attempts
C
It's over
G
It's over


Em        F#              G      A
Repeat it now, repeat it with me


               G
It's in the way
                 D
We can't explain
                Em   F#   G Bm C
Why we were the ones who got away


                G
It's in the way
                        D
These memories will fade
Continues after the ad
              Em   F#   G     Bm  C
So we always keep them locked away
            G
Lock them away


D                      Dsus2     
We were the kids who would scrape
     Dsus4
 and save
D                      Dsus2      
And wait around for some better 
 Dsus4
days
C
It's over
G
It's over


D                      
We were the kids that looked 
Dsus2       Dsus4
one-by-one
D                     Dsus2     
We said we would when we were 
Dsus4
young
C
It's over
G
Yeah, it's over


Em         F#            G    A
Repeat it now, repeat it with me

                   D
We slowly replace
               Em  F# G  Bm    C
The pieces we left in yesterday


Em        F#             G
Repeat it now, repeat it with me
