We Did It When We Were Young by The Gaslight Anthem
We Did It When We Were Young
INTRO: Bm F# G D G D A
Bm F#
Don't write me no more letters
G D
My mailbox is full of bombs
G D A
Between you and the kooks on my block
Bm F#
I don't remember the good times
G D
I wasn't there and you were kind
G D A
And my wife has some dogs in our yard
G D A Bm
And I cannot hold a candle for every pretty girl
G D
We were strangers many hours
A
And I missed you for so long
Bm A
When we were lions, lovers in combat
G D-A-G
Faded like your name on those jeans that I burned
D A
But I am older now
Bm G
And we did it when we were young
D A
I am older now
Bm G
And we did it when we were young
*Repeat the exact pattern as the first half of the song*
There are no reasons to believe
I buried my faith in an unmarked plot
With your heart and your clothes
When I find that I don't feel you or recall
I'll put your bones out in the yard
Someone else to be called and called by
And I cannot hold a candle for every pretty girl
We were strangers many hours
And I missed you for so long
When we were lions, lovers in combat
Faded like your name on those jeans that I burned
But I am older now
And we did it when we were young
I am older now
And we did it when we were young
I am older now
And we did it when we were young
I am older now
*A note, they hold out the last line of the chorus by playing*
Bm A D
And we did it when we were young
