[INTRO] B C# F# x4
[VERSE]
'Cause it was Be[B]ll Biv DeVoe, pl[C#]aying on my ra[F#]dio
And I had Wu-[B]Tang Clan li[C#]ving in my ste[F#]reo
Mama said we're [B]6th generation O[C#]regoni[F#]ans
I was rocking in J[B]ordans w[C#]ith reflector tongu[F#]es
Two kids with[B] wet cement livi[C#]ng down in their sou[F#]ls
They say what gets ca[B]ught when you're young [C#]stays there when you're ol[F#]d
So m[B]isunderstood they say you're u[C#]p to no g[F#]ood
And now we're trying our b[B]est to st[C#]art it over a[F#]gain
[PRE-CHORUS]
If I'd had met you at the pla[B]yground
[C#]Before a hand coul[F#]d tear your world down
Before I slammed down the d[B]oor and
You [C#]said I'm just like my[F#] old man
Before I put you in those bo[B]xes
And we le[C#]arned how to di[F#]sagree
And how your family is a roc[B]ket
That blo[C#]ws up in infi[F#]delity
[CHORUS]
For cry[B]ing out loud I wa[C#]nna kn[F#]ow
How the w[B]aves keep on crashing do[C#]wn the doo[F#]rs
Feel the [B]weight of the world and they ke[C#]ep on bringing mo[F#]re
If it's just y[B]ou and me on[C#] the floor[F#]
Go grab your c[B]oat and I'll dr[C#]ive us ho[F#]me
Like we were just ki[B]ds
[C#]Just, j-j-[F#]just kids
J-j-just kids, jus[B]t, just kid[C#]s[F#]
Like we wer[B]e just kids
J[C#]ust kids, j-j-j[F#]ust kids
[B]J-j-just kid[C#]s, j-j-jus[F#]t kids
[VERSE]
Bob Marley was paint[B]ed on my hi[C#]gh-school wal[F#]ls
But I just disapp[B]eared int[C#]o the darkroom h[F#]all
Never thou[B]ght I'd ever ma[C#]ke it quite this [F#]far
Teacher put up my ph[B]otographs, s[C#]ay "son you'll be a st[F#]ar"
It was smo[B]king mirrors, ru[C#]nning down through my vein[F#]s
I kept on ru[B]nning downtown, runn[C#]ing from God's gra[F#]ce
Every morning I'd clim[B]b back through, [C#]those window p[F#]anes
And try my b[B]est to ride it out ov[C#]er instrumental t[F#]apes
[PRE-CHORUS]

[B]I can feel it in the wa[C#]y we t[F#]ry
[F#]I can feel it in the way we fight
[B]We're standing [C#]side by side[F#]
[F#]Like we were just ki[B]ds
