C#m
Once when we were young
A
Didn't care at all
                B
Wish I could go back
                        C#m  A  E  B
Back when we were young

[Verse 1]
C#m    A
Yesterday
                E                    B
Another moment we let slip away, slip away
C#m
I'm here to stay
A                         E               B
Call me a dreamer but I'm wide awake, wide awake
C#m                             A
The only way to know where we're headed
E                               B
Is to never second guess or regret it
How far we've come

[Pre-Chorus]
C#m                     A
Once when we were young
E
Didn't care at all
B
Staring at the sun
                C#m
Like a crystal ball
                        A
Now we're on the run
                E
From what we become
                B
Wish I could go back
                        C#m A E B
Back when we were young

[Chorus]
                        C#m A E B
Back when we were young

[Verse 2]
C#m
Tell me please
A                       E       B
Is it a choice or only destiny, destiny
C#m
It's clear to me
A                       E              B
We are the rulers of reality, and I believe
C#m                                     A
The only way to know where we're headed
E                               B
Is to never second guess or regret it
                C#m
How far we've come

[Pre-Chorus]
C#m                     A
Once when we were young
E
Didn't care at all
                B
Staring at the sun
                C#m
Like a crystal ball
                        A
Now we're on the run
                E
From what we become
                B
Wish I could go back
                        C#m A E B
Back when we were young

[Chorus]
                        C#m A E B
Back when we were young

[Bridge]
C#m             A              E
How far we've come, keep holding strong
                B
We can't go wrong
If we never ever let go
C#m                           A                        E
There so much more left to explore, we can't go wrong
                        B
If we never let it get old

[Outro]
C#m                     A
Once when we were young
E
Didn't care at all
                B
Staring at the sun
                C#m
Like a crystal ball
                        A
Now we're on the run
                E
From what we become
                B
Wish I could go back
                        C#m A E B
Back when we were young
