We Were Young Once

C                  Am        F                         C
 It was back in community college, it must have been a writing class, and
Am                  C                         G
 He said something 'bout how we need the cops to protect us. And I snapped.
    C                                     Am               F
"Protect us," like the night when you got kidnapped by the pigs.
                 C                  Am                     C               G
They tore up the house on their way out, so when Scott got home he'd worry you got taken by 
somebody worse.

[Chorus]
Am              C                Am                    F    G     Am
   I played the show that night, although my blood was fire in my mouth,
                C                    G                  F
until he walked into the room--still free, at least for now.
Am        C                    Am         F         G        Am
   And we were young once, and sang songs about not giving a fuck,

       C                G                     F
acting like we had some guts. Well, how about now?

[Verse 2]
C            Am                 F                      C         Am
 It was at a show someplace, it really could have been almost anywhere.
               C                     G
Someone kept yelling to stop playing politics, because no one care's.
           C                            Am                F              C
And it's a game, like the time the U.S. marshals came for you before the sun was up.
Am              C                        G
 Guns drawn for breakfast. "Open up this door before we kick it down."

[Chorus]
Am        C                    Am         F         G        Am
   And we were young once, and sang songs about not giving a fuck,
       C                G                     F
acting like we had some guts. Well, how about now?

Am        C                    Am         F         G        Am
   And we were young once, and sang songs about not giving a fuck,
       C                G                     F
acting like we had some guts. Well, how about now? How about now? How about now?
