INTRO: G

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

               G                                      
Those were our young years
Our wings were drying in the sun
         Em            D               C
Now the winter, at our window feels so cold
              G
Where are our young years

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

               G
Those were our young years
Our wings were drying in the sun
         Em            D               C
Now the winter, at our window feels so cold

            G
Back in our young years
Sometimes the good did not die young
Em             D        C
Now we live on memories alone
       G
Of our young years

BRIDGE: G x4
        C x4 
        D x8 
        C x8
        D x8 
        Em x8 
        C x8

              Am
If we had the moon and tide behind us
               G
We could still sail so far away
    C
And time would pass
And things would change
G                       D
And memories would fade away

               G
Those were our young years
Our wings were drying in the sun
         Em            D               C
Now the winter, at our window feels so cold

            G
Back in our young years
Sometimes the good did not die young
Em             D        C
Now we live on memories alone

               G
Those were our young years
You know we'll live it all again
       Em           D         C
We can turn the tide and sail away
            G (till end)
Back to our young years
Those were our young years
