G                               C2                                  Em7
When we were younger we used to sit on my porch
               C2                    D                                          G
And talk smack about girls and professional sports
G                     C2                                Em7                  C2   D            G
There?s a lot of things I wanted to say but never got a chance to find a way
G                                                                       C2
Take a good look at all of our high schools
                                 Em7                                     C2
This is the first reason that I wanna write you
                     D                                                  G
It must be tough when society is messed up
                      C2                                D                      G
Gotta save money, please don't take it out on us

Pre-chorus:
G           D       C2         G          D        C2
Do they even know? Do they even know?

Chorus:
G                                                                             C2
If I was brave I?d write a letter to the president
                                                                                       Em7
And have him pass it to the leaders of our parliament
                         C2
But for now I won?t say nothing
G                                                                                    C2
From all the kids who would stand in my residence
                                          Em7                                               C2
Who see this letter as a statement of our innocence but for now I won?t say nothing

Now that we?re older a brand new story unfolds
About God and the laws that we?ve always been told
There?s a lot of things I wanted to say but never got a chance to find a way
