INTRO (see tab)
Verse 1
--------
A Asus A Asus
Lookin' back now, well it makes me laugh.
A Asus A Asus A Asus A
We were growin' our hair, we were cuttin' class.
A Asus A Asus A Asus A
Knew it all already, there was nothing to learn,
A Asus A
We were striking matches just to watch them burn.
Verse 2
--------
A Asus A Asus A Asus A
Listen to our music just a little too loud,
A Asus A Asus A Asus A
We were hangin' in there with the outcast crowd.
A Asus A Asus
Headin' to the rapids with some discount beer,
A Asus A
It was a long train tressle but we had no fear.
Chorus
-------
Dbm D
And man, I don't know,
Dbm D
Where the time goes.
Dbm D E E7 A/Db E
But it sure goes fast, just like that.
A
We were wannabe rebels that didn't have a clue,
In our rock n' roll T-shirts and our typically bad attitude.
Had no excuses for the things that we done,
We were brave, we were crazy,
We were mostly, young.
Bm
Young.
Verse 3
--------
A
Talked a good game when we were out with the guys,
But in the back seat we were awkward and shy.
Girls were a mystery that we couldn't explain,
And I guess there are some things that are never gonna change.
*REPEAT CHORUS* (use A to Asus pattern same as 1st verse)
Bm
Young.
A
Yeah, wishin' we were older.
Bm
Young.
E
Hey, I wish it wasn't over.
A Asus (repeat throughout instrumental)
INSTRUMENTAL
*REPEAT CHORUS* (use A to Asus pattern same as in 1st verse)
Asus A Asus A Asus
Hey and wishin' we were older,
A Asus A Asus A
Hey I wish it wasn't over.

| This song talks about how when people are young all they want to be is older. Then when the older years come, they look back and realize they grew up to fast and that they wish they were still younger. It shows that you should take life one day at a time and not take things for granted. | |

| I know you're as young as you feel you are, but when you've reached a certain age you have to show responsibility. I'd love to rebel, but i do have a clue... So it comes down to acting crazy once in a while instead of all the time :-) | |
