[Verse 1]
Em            C            G
Remember when I was new in town
Em              C                
I always walked straight with my 
     G
head down
Em               C                
They didn't even try to figure me 
G
out
Em        D    C
Until you came around
Em       C                    G
Everyone thought that Id play ball
Em           C                    
'Cause I was thirteen and six feet 
 G
tall
Em          C                 G
Skipin' out class and writin' songs
         Em       D    C
You were there to sing along


[Pre-Chorus]
         Em   D
We were kings
  C
Before we had a crown
              Em    D
Yeah, we had dreams
    C
But damn look at us now


[Chorus]
        Em            G
Even if we're so far away
               D               C
Remember those days like yesterday

You're in all these memories
                Em       G
I haven't seen you since seventeen
             D                  
But you know that don't change a 
 C
thing
           Em         D    C
'Cause you still mean everything
         Em             D        C
Yeah you still mean the world to me


[Verse 2]
Em                 C            
Remember when they beat me down 
G
again
Em           C           G
Just for the color of my skin
Em         C                G
But when I thought I'd fall apart
          Em      D        C
You were there to pick me up


[Pre-Chorus]
              Em    D
Yeah, we were kings
  C
Before we had a crown
              Em    D
Yeah, we had dreams
    C
But damn look at us now


[Chorus]
        Em           G
Even if were so far away
