When I Was Young

         Bb
When the sky was gold
      Ab
And I needed no protection
           Bb
But as the wind would blow
           Ab
A thousand miles in no direction
              Bb
Man, it was a beautiful sight
          Ab
Days were soaked in sunlight
        Bb
Just so long ago
             Ab
But lately I like to imagine

Gm
When I was young
Gm                         Fm
Whatever happened it would do me no 
wrong
Gm                         Fm
As long as I could sing my favorite 
song
Gm
When I was young, oh
Gm                    Fm
And the holidays went on and on
Gm
We were so high
Gm                      Fm
Let the freeway take us into the 
night
Gm                          Fm
And in the dark you sang my favorite
 song
Gm         Fm
When I was young, oh
Gm                    Fm
And the holidays went on and on
N.C.
And on, and on, and on
N.C.
When I was young
 N.C.
(Woo!)

        Bb
Now the sky is gray
    Ab
But honestly, it doesn't hurt me 
(No)
   Bb
I learned to find my way
       Ab
On the path and no returnin', oh, oh
                Bb
Everything I've left behind
             Ab
I'm reminded every time I meet your 
eyes
           Bb
We were so bold and brave
      Ab
Baby, can you imagine?

Gm
When I was young
Gm                 Eb
We would play with fire
Gm
When I was young
Gm                    Eb
And we would fuck the price
Gm
When I was young
Gm           Eb
It was do or die
Gm
I would give my life just to feel 
like

When I was young

When I was young
Ab       Eb
Do me no wrong
Ab         Eb
We were so high
