There wasn't anything up already for this song, so I gave it a shot. [Intro] D Dsus2 Dsus4 D (X2) C G D Dsus2 Dsus4 D (X2) C G [Verse]
D
We were the kids from the cul-de-sacs
That got out somehow without looking back
C
It's over

G
It's over

D
We were the ones that grew up too fast
On the front porch steps when we still had friends
C
It's over

G
It's over

D                         Dsus2    Dsus4
We were the kids who were laughing last

D                   Dsus2    Dsus4
With big ideas and failed attempts

C
It's over

G
It's over
[Pre-Chorus]
Em        D              C      
Repeat it now, repeat it with me
[Chorus]
             G
It's in the way

              Bm
We can't explain

                 Em            C
Why we were the ones who got away

             G
It's in the way

                     Bm
These memories will fade

              Em                C
So we always keep them locked away

            G
Lock them away
[Verse]
D                      Dsus2          Dsus4
We were the kids who would scrape and save

D                      Dsus2       Dsus4
And wait around for some better days

C
It's over

G
It's over

D                      Dsus2       Dsus4
We were the kids that looked one-by-one

D                     Dsus2     Dsus4
We said we would when we were young

C
It's over

G
Yeah, it's over
[Pre-Chorus]
Em         D               C
Repeat it now, repeat it with me
[Chorus]
             G
It's in the way

             Bm
We can't explain

                 Em            C
Why we were the ones who got away

             G
It's in the way

                     Bm
These memories will fade

              Em                C
So we always keep them locked away

             G
It's in the way

              Bm
We slowly replace

               Em              C
The pieces we left in yesterday
[Pre-Chorus]
Em        D             C     
Repeat it now, repeat it with me

Em        D                 C
Repeat it now, repeat it with me
[Chorus]
              G
It's in the way

              Bm
We can't explain

                 Em            C
Why we were the ones who got away

             G
It's in the way

                     Bm
These memories will fade

              Em                C
So we always keep them locked away

              G
It's in the way

              Bm
We slowly replace

               Em            C
The pieces we left in yesterday

             G
It's in the way

                    Bm
These memories will fade

              Em                C
So we always keep them locked away

D                      Dsus2     Dsus4
We were the kids from the cul-de-sacs

D                           Dsus2    Dsus4
That got out somehow without looking back

G
It's over
