Em When we were young D Em Oh, when we were young C G D Em We put popcorn on a string and hung it on the sill C G D G Carolers would sing as the night grew still Em And we were poor D Em Back in 1984 C G D Em There were candles on the fireplace and tinsel round the wreath C G D G And a foot of snow on top of the streets Em C G Ooooooooooh Em C G D Ooooooooooh Em C G Ooooooooooh Em C D G Ooooooooooh Em And when I'd grown D Em Like we all must do C G Found myself a sturdy soul D Em To see me through C G D G That was the fall of '92 Em I was strong D Em And from dusk till dawn C G D Em I worked two jobs just to keep the lights on C G D Em I saved up for months to buy a chain C G D G And I gave it to one on Christmas Day D Ooooooooooh Bm C G And I found myself alone in the winter cold Em C D G Now my life is filled with things I do not need Em C G But the only thing I want before I'm old Em C D G Won't fit under my christmas tree Em D Em Are we lost to our younger days C G D Em No longer are we able to find that place C G D Em Strangers to the kids we used to know C G D G And I don't decorate my house no more
(Brandi sings this part is a capella,
