When We Wrote This

G G We were young, we were right When we wrote this G We were burning bright C Didn’t slow it On the night G When we wrote this G Thin air on our cheeks Did you notice? G There were no guarantees Did you know this? Am We were up high Em When we wrote this G When you drove by Did you notice? G My red eyes We were promised Am No goodbyes Em When we wrote this A Em When did we give up A Em To shine oh A Em When did we give up G G Our names in gold When we wrote this G Growing up, growing cold C Did you notice? Am The silent wind G When we wrote this G No signs of blight When we wrote this G Outside the city lights Am Where the glow is Fading to an end Em When we wrote this A Em When did we give up A Em To shine oh A Em When did we give up D Shine on A Em When did we give up A Em To shine oh A Em When did we give up D C Em Shine on shine on shine on G It was far from meaningless Down below this G Beautiful mess When we wrote this Am When we wrote this Em When we wrote this G When we wrote this G (repeat 4x)
