Verse 1:
D Gbm
That was the way, that was the way it was
Bm G
When you're five years old and don't have nowhere else to run
D Gbm
Except into your mother's arms, where she held you so tight
Bm G
And you're scared of the dark so you sleep with your little night light
D Gbm
When you walked up to school and everyone there was your best friend
Bm G
When you learned your numbers and shapes and played pretend
D Gbm
You didn't mind that your hair was a mess, you were so carefree
Bm G
You didn't know how cold and cruel this world would one day be
Chorus:
Em A
We were just so young
D
We should have known
Gbm Bm
We should have known
Em A D
That one day we'd hate our bodies and we'd orbit around buttons on a phone
Gbm Bm
We should have known
Em A D
That one day we'd pluck our eyebrow hairs and wonder why the cool kids stared at me
Gbm Bm
Oh why'd it have to be
Em
Our imaginations have run dry
A D
We hate ourselves and have a nightly cry
Gbm Bm
And then we act like we're fine
Em A D
It's alcohol and bombs and drugs, don't ever let your children grow up
Gbm Bm
-Oh oh oh oh oh oh-
G Gm
Verse 2:
D Gbm
We would swing on the swings and jump off and pretend we could fly
Bm G
But as soon as we blinked we grew up and we're junior high
D Gbm
So our dads dropped us off at the park and we stayed out 'till ten
Bm G
So the makeup comes out and we think we need the perfect boyfriend
Chorus:
Em A
We were just so young
D
How didn't we know
Gbm Bm
How didn't we know
Em A D
That we'd be independent on our own and lose more friends while traveling down the road
Gbm Bm
Oh, how didn't we know
Em A D
That there's more to life than sleepovers and jocks turn out worse than the science nerds
Gbm Bm
But somehow that all gets blurred
Em
And some relationships they end real fast
A D
And though you want you might never get it back
Gbm Bm
The doors close just like that
Em A D
It's depression and it's broken love, don't ever let your children grow up
Gbm Bm
-Oh oh oh oh oh oh-
G Gm
Outro:
Em A
We're no longer young
D
So now that we know
Gbm Bm
So now that we know
Em A D
That this world could use some turning 'round, if only we could find some common ground
Gbm Bm
But it's up to us
Em A D Bm
And although at times it gets so rough, you have got to let your children grow up
Em A D
Yeah, you have got to let your children, got to let your children grow up
D Gbm
That was the way, that was the way it was
Bm G
When you're five years old and don't have nowhere else to run
