INTRO: G5

G5
Broken cars, old guitars
Waiting here for the time to pass,
E5                              C5
Time takes it toll - it took it fast
G5
Secret meetings at the river's bend
E5
Simple days when I called you friend
C5                             D5
Came a time, we went separate ways

               G5                                      
Those were our young years
Our wings were drying in the sun
         E5            D5               C5
Now the winter, at our window feels so cold
              G5
Where are our young years

G5
Everything seemed better days
Boats in which we sailed away 
E5                      C5
Lie all rusted on rocky ground
G5 
Here we sit with a schooner of ale
E5
Dreaming of a wind that'll make us sail
D5
Taking us far away
         C5
Do you remember how it was?
           A5
We had the moon and tide behind us
           C5          D5 
We used to take it up take it up!

               G5
Those were our young years
Our wings were drying in the sun
         E5            D5               C5
Now the winter, at our window feels so cold

            G5
Back in our young years
Sometimes the good did not die young
E5             D5        C5
Now we live on memories alone
       G5
Of our young years

BRIDGE: G5 x4
        C5 x4 
        D5 x8 
        C5 x8
        D5 x8 
        E5 x8 
        C5 x8

              A5
If we had the moon and tide behind us
               G5
We could still sail so far away
    C5
And time would pass
And things would change
G5                       D5
And memories would fade away

               G5
Those were our young years
Our wings were drying in the sun
         E5            D5               C5
Now the winter, at our window feels so cold

            G5
Back in our young years
Sometimes the good did not die young
E5             D5        C5
Now we live on memories alone

               G5
Those were our young years
You know we'll live it all again
       E5           D5         C5
We can turn the tide and sail away
            G5 (till end)
Back to our young years
Those were our young years
