When I Was Young

A When the sky was gold G And I needed no protection A But as the wind would blow G A thousand miles in no direction A Man, it was a beautiful sight G Days were soaked in sunlight A Just so long ago G But lately I like to imagine F#m When I was young F#m Em Whatever happened it would do me no wrong F#m Em As long as I could sing my favorite song F#m When I was young, oh F#m Em And the holidays went on and on F#m We were so high F#m Em Let the freeway take us into the night F#m Em And in the dark you sang my favorite song F#m Em When I was young, oh F#m Em And the holidays went on and on N.C. And on, and on, and on N.C. When I was young N.C. (Woo!) G D G D (3x) A Now the sky is gray G But honestly, it doesn't hurt me (No) A I learned to find my way G On the path and no returnin', oh, oh A Everything I've left behind G I'm reminded every time I meet your eyes A We were so bold and brave G Baby, can you imagine? F#m When I was young F#m Em Whatever happened it would do me no wrong F#m Em As long as I could sing my favorite song F#m When I was young, oh F#m Em And the holidays went on and on F#m We were so high F#m Em Let the freeway take us into the night F#m Em And in the dark you sang my favorite song F#m Em When I was young, oh F#m Em And the holidays went on and on N.C. And on, and on, and on N.C. When I was young N.C. (Woo!) G D G D (3x) F#m When I was young F#m D We would play with fire F#m When I was young F#m D And we would f**k the price F#m When I was young F#m D It was do or die F#m I would give my life just to feel like F#m G D When I was young G D Ohh, oh-oh-oh-oh G D (Oh, do or die) G D When I was young G D Do me no wrong G D We were so high F#m D Oh, and the holidays went on and on D G D And on, and on, and on N.C.
