[Intro]
D                    G
Woo-ooh-ooh, woo-ooh-ooh
[Verse 1]
D                                G
Time stopped movin' the minute I saw ya

                   Bm                                               G
You took my Taylor guitar in the city of stars and you made it your own

D                                     G
Late night, oh, how I'm missin' those brown eyes

                     Bm                                          G
Funny, I'd rather be fightin' with you than alone in the city we knew
[Pre-Chorus]
D
Four years gone by in the blink of an eye

        G
We were young 'til we weren't

G
It was fun 'til it hurt

    Bm                                      G
Now I'm terrified that I'll never find love like yours
[Chorus]
              D
If I would've known

                      G
Those were the golden years

                    Bm                          A                G
I would've held you longer that night when you kissed me goodbye through your tears

              D
If I would've known

                      G
Those were the golden years

                 Bm                       A                 G
I would've never left you alone when you needed me most, my dear

                             D                           G
'Cause those were the golden years (Woo-ooh-ooh, woo-ooh-ooh)

                      Bm                   G
Those were the golden years (Woo-ooh-ooh, woo-ooh-ooh)
[Verse 2]
  D                              G
I left you under the cherry tree that June

                          Bm                                G
Back at the place where I told you that I loved you way too soon

D                                   G
Lately, I stare at the pictures you gave me

                       Bm                        G
I can't help wonderin' if you ever stare back at them too
[Chorus]
              D
If I would've known

                      G
Those were the golden years

                    Bm                          A                G
I would've held you longer that night when you kissed me goodbye through your tears

              D
If I would've known

                      G
Those were the golden years

                 Bm                       A                 G
I would've never left you alone when you needed me most, my dear

                             D                           G

                      Bm                          G
Those were the golden years (Woo-ooh-ooh, woo-ooh-ooh)
[Bridge]
   D             A         Bm           G
So dance with me under the cherry tree, darlin'

      D              A               Bm    G
We'll act like we're still young and free (Mm)

       D            A             Bm       G
'Cause I'm still in love with the story of us

        D              A            Bm       G
We were young, but our love, it was real

Those were the golden years

                    Bm                          A                G
I would've held you longer that night when you kissed me goodbye through your tears

              D
If I would've known

                      G
Those were the golden years

                 Bm                       A                 G
I would've never left you alone when you needed me most, my dear

                             D                           G
'Cause those were the golden years (Woo-ooh-ooh, woo-ooh-ooh)
