Chords

[Intro] G [Verse 1]
G                  D          Em C
 I can still find Wiley's house

G       D                Em
 Riding on my bike with eyes closed

        G                   D         Em C
 I can name every girl that he took out

G             D                 Em
 And from my memory, dial his house phone
[Chorus]
         G             Bm  Em           C
Can you take me back when we were just kids

              G                  Bm         Em  Cm7/Eb
Who weren't scared of getting older? (yeah yeah)

              G/D                       Am
'Cause no one knows you like they know you

             Em             C
And no one probably ever will

          G            Am
You can grow up, make new ones

      Em                          C           G D
But truth is there's nothing like old friends (oooh)

Em                      C           G  D    Em
  'Cause you can't make old friends (oooh) (mmm yeah)
[Verse 2]
G                      D          Em C
 I can still feel the windows down

               G                     D                  Em
 Listening to Jimmy Eat World riding 3-wide on Blake's bench seat (yeah)

G                   Am          Em C
 My God, it's been ten years now

          G              Am
 I would have his back tomorrow

                 Em                         C
 And he'd still fight anyone who tried to touch me
[Chorus]
         G             Bm  Em           C
Can you take me back when we were just kids

              G                  Bm         Em   Cm7/Eb
Who weren't scared of getting older? (yeah yeah oooh)

              G/D                       Am
'Cause no one knows you like they know you

             Em             C
And no one probably ever will

          G            Am
You can grow up, make new ones

      Em                          C           G Am
But truth is there's nothing like old friends (oooh)

Em                      C           G  Am  Em  C
  'Cause you can't make old friends (oooh)
[Bridge]
G                    D             Em
 And I've got some good friends now

G/B               D/F#                C
 But I've never seen their parents' back porch

G                        D             Em C
 I wouldn't change how things turned out

              G              D
 But there's no one in this time zone

                Em                 C
 Who knows what inline skates that I wore
[Chorus 2]
         G             Bm  Em           C
Can you take me back when we were just kids

              G                  Bm         Em     Cm7/Eb
Who weren't scared of getting older? (yeah yeah oooh)

              G/D                       Am
'Cause no one knows you like they know you

             Em             C
And no one probably ever will

          G            Am
You can grow up, make new ones

          Em     
But the truth is

          G/D            Am               Em
That we grow up, then wish we could go back then

                     C           G D  Em
There's nothing like old friends (oooh)

                      C          G D Em C G
'Cause you can't make old friends (oooh)
