[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] C ********************** N.C. = no chords * = strum once **********************
