Intro: Hammeron to F# (breaths)
Verse:
[F#]When we were younger we [F#]had nothing to do
[F#]so we'd close our eyes and spin around in circle[Bb]s
[Eb]hap[min]py to hit the ground
or happy to just[B] fall down
When we were younger we'd go down to the park
we'd catch all the fireflies we'd put 'em in jars
we never knew that they'd die we never really thought that far
Chorus X1
[F#]I'm not the kid you knew[B]
[F#]im not the kid you remem[B]ber
When we were younger we were scared of the dark
so we closed our eyes we pulled the sheets over our heads
we didn't want to see what's there
like the shadows under the bed
And now that I'm older I look back on those days
I wish I had them back cuz the shadows are gone
or at least they're not that strong
as the shadows in my head
Chorus X2
Bridge:
[Eb]In [min]1985 [F#]there was a pict[C#]ure taken with my name o[B]n it
[B]climbin' an apple tree w[Eb]ith[min] blue shoes
[C#]You'd think it was me I could swear it w[B]as you
Chorus X4
