Em C2
I close my eyes and go back in time
G D
I can see you smiling, you're so alive
Em C2
We were so young, we had no fear
G2 D G2 D/F# Em C2
We were so young, we had no idea that life was just happening

G2 D/F#
Here's to your bright eyes
Em C2
Shining like fireflies
G2 D/F#
These are my souvenirs
Em C2
The memory of a lifetime
G2 D/F# Em
We were wide eyed with everything
C2
Everything around us
G2 D/F# Em
We were enlightened by everything
C2
Everything
Em C2
So I close my eyes and go back in time
G D/F#
I can see you smiling, you're so alive
Em C2
I close my eyes and go back in time
G D/F#
You were just a child then, and so was I
Em C2
We were so young, we had no fear
G D/F#
We were so young, we had no idea
Em C2 G D/F#
That nothing lasts forever
Em C2
That nothing lasts forever
G2 D/F#
Nothing lasts, nothing lasts
Em C2
You and me together
G D/F#
Were always now or never
G2 D/F# Em C2
Can you hear me?

G D/F#
You were wide eyed, you were wide eyed
Em C2
We were so young, we had no fear
G D/F#
We were so young, we had just begun
Em C2
A song we knew but had never sung
G D/F#
It burned like fire inside our lungs
Em C2 G2 D/F#
And life was just happening (nothing lasts, nothing lasts forever)
Em C2 G2 D/F#
And life was just happening (nothing lasts, nothing lasts forever)
G2 D/F# Em
I wouldn't trade it for anything
C2 G2
