If things were differeCnt, we were young
 Skinny dipping, having fun, I remember    Em  
 Back in 1991,C when the story first begun, I remember (I remeEmmber)
 CAll of these shells, holding the things I've done   Em  
 CI knew myself before I knew anyone    Em  

And cause we all cheCw gum, we all have fun with water guns
 La da da da dAma da, da da dum dum dum
 And we all gCrew up, sh** got tough
 Sh** just wasn't simple enough   Am  
Ahh Oh      C        Em         C         Em  

 ACnd whenever the sun camAme out, we played      Em  
(We didn't want to get older, we didn't want to get older)
 CWe would run on the block alAml night and day       Em  
(We didn't want to get older)

 WChat a mistake, saying the way I felt      Em  
 CI say my name influences myself    Em  

 And cause I starteCd young, I learned it done, I didn't run
 La da da da dAma da
 I was scarCed as Fm*** and out of touch, and I was still testing my luck, oh         Am  

 ACnd whenever the sun camAme out, we played      Em  
(We didn't want to get older, we didn't want to get older)
 CWe would run on the block allAm night and day       Em  
(We didn't want to get older, we didn't want to get older)
 ACnd whenever the sun cameAm out, we played       Em  
(We didn't want to get older, we didn't want to get older)
 CI left mysAmelf in the alleywaEmy 

 If things were differeCnt, we were young
 Skinny dipping, having fun, I remember     Em  
(I left myself in the alleyway)
 CAll I wanted would become everything I ever loved, I remember Em  
 (I left myself in the alleyway) C      Em
