D F#mThat was the way, that was the way it was
Bm GWhen you're five years old and don't have nowhere else to run
D F#mExcept into your mother's arms, where she held you so tight
Bm GAnd you're scared of the dark so you sleep with your little night light
D F#mWhen you walked up to school and everyone there was your best friend
Bm GWhen you learned your numbers and shapes and played pretend
D F#mYou didn't mind that your hair was a mess, you were so carefree
Bm GYou didn't know how cold and cruel this world would one day be
[Chorus]
Em AWe were just so young
DWe should have known
F#m BmWe should have known
Em A DThat one day we'd hate our bodies and we'd orbit around buttons on a phone
F#m BmWe should have known
Em A DThat one day we'd pluck our eyebrow hairs and wonder why the cool kids stared at me
F#m BmOh why'd it have to be
EmOur imaginations have run dry
A DWe hate ourselves and have a nightly cry
F#m BmAnd then we act like we're fine
Em A DIt's alcohol and bombs and drugs, don't ever let your children grow up
F#m Bm(Oh oh oh oh oh oh)
D F#m
[Verse 2]
D F#mWe would swing on the swings and jump off and pretend we could fly
Bm GBut as soon as we blinked we grew up and we're junior high
D F#mSo our dads dropped us off at the park and we stayed out 'till ten
Bm GSo the makeup comes out and we think we need the perfect boyfriend
[Chorus]
Em AWe were just so young
DHow didn't we know
F#m BmHow didn't we know
Em A DThat we'd be independent on our own and lose more friends while traveling down the road
F#m BmOh, how didn't we know
Em A DThat there's more to life than sleepovers and jocks turn out worse than the science nerds
F#m BmBut somehow that all gets blurred
EmAnd some relationships they end real fast
A DAnd though you want you might never get it back
F#m BmThe doors close just like that
Em A DIt's depression and it's broken love, don't ever let your children grow up
F#m Bm(Oh oh oh oh oh oh)
D F#m
(Vocals)
[Outro]
Em AWe're no longer young
DSo now that we know
F#m BmSo now that we know
Em A DThat this world could use some turning 'round, if only we could find some common ground
F#m BmBut it's up to us
Em A DAnd although at times it gets so rough, you have got to let your children grow up
F#m BmOh oh oh oh oh oh
Em A DYeah, you have got to let your children, got to let your children grow up
