[Verse 1]
G Am7 I saw a photograph from ten years back C It's you and I, we're standin' in the rain G Am7 Somewhere outside Atlanta, and I think my twelve-seat van C Is right there out of frame
[Pre-Chorus]
G This was before I knew my way around Los Angeles Am7 C Before I ever cared about nice neighborhoods G Am7 We were drivin' through the night, sleepin' on hotel floors C And thinkin' that we had it good
[Chorus]
G Am7 We were kids back then, thinkin' we could live forever C We were kids back then G Am7 We were wild and free, takin' on the world together C We were kids back then
(N.C.)
That's how we're always gonna be
G - Am7 - C
[Verse 2]
G Am7 Passed an old friend on my timeline who had lately been on my mind C We were close as blood G Am7 If we sat down for a drink I think we'd forget all the stupid reasons C We lost touch (we lost touch)
It was just because
[Chorus]
G Am7 We were kids back then, thinkin' we could live forever C We were kids back then, you and me G Am7 We were wild and free, takin' on the world together C We were kids back then
That's how we're always gonna be
G - Am7 - C
[Bridge]
D Em C All you got to do is blink your eyes and the years go by like that G They fly right past D Em C I don't want to wait to realize everything that you and I Am7 Already have
[Verse 3] - intro riff played in background
G* Am7* Five-thirty in the mornin', and we're awake again C* You are holdin' baby Jane G* Am7* I lean in to take a picture, when it hits me C* In twenty years, I will look back and say
[Chorus] - intro riff continues to play through first chorus here
G* We were kids back then, thinkin' we would live forever C* We were kids back then G* We're so young and free, takin' on the world together C* We were kids back then
That's how we're always gonna be
G - Am7 - C
G Am7 We were kids back then, thinkin' we could live forever C We were kids back then, you and me G Am7 We were wild and free, takin' on the world together C We were kids back then
That's how we're always gonna be
G - Am7 - C
That's how we're always gonna be
G - Am7 - C
Oh, that's how we're always gonna be
[Outro]
