verse 1: 

C 
Remember when we were young 
                F 
We felt like the luckiest ones 
           Dm 
Nothing to worry about 
                     G 
The whole world was a hand-me-down 

C 
It's hard to be different 
                         F 
It's even harder when you wanna fit in 
                 Dm 
High school was a catastrophe 
                G 
It was a failure factory 


F 
Turn it up, turn it up 
G 
Turn up your radio loud 
C 
Don't forget where you come from 
F 
It's too soon to be proud 

F 
Remember when 
G                       F 
We... were... young 
F 
Remember when 
G                       F        C 
We... were... young 


verse 2: 

C 
Remember when we were broke 
           F 
Money would come and go 
                    Dm 
The whole world is a hand-me-down 
            G 
So you gotta wear it proud 

C 
Whenever I reminisce 
                F 
I know that the greatest risk 
                Dm 
Is giving up the fun for pay 
                G 
I don't want to live that way 


F 
Oh tear it up, tear it up 
G 
Tear up that page 
C 
I don't wanna grow up 
F 
Don't wanna act my age 

F               G 
Remember when, we were young 

F 
Turn it up, turn it up 
G 
Turn up your radio loud 
C 
Don't forget where you come from 
F 
It's too soon to be proud 

F               G 
Remember when, we were young 
F               G 
Remember when, we... were... young...

How will I know if I don't ask why 
I won't let it pass me by

Slippin away, ayyyy ayyyyyy
