When We Were Young

Sneaky Sound System

Text File

I know this is a dance track but I think it would be fun to play in a live band. 
Not much work for the drummer though as it's a very basic beat but still fun! 
Anyway it's pretty simple to play. 
I know there is mainly keyboards for intro but guitar works too. 
The song sounds better when using barre chords (except A chord). Enjoy!

Full lyrics are at bottom.

Standard tuning (EADGBE)

Intro and verses just goes like this....  E  E  E  E  C  C  B  B  (x4)

Chorus goes like this........(Note: 2nd chorus has different lyrics though)

E                C
All we had was good
                A  
Just like it should
              B   D
When we were young

E                C
We were just nineteen
            A
Oh such a scene 
              B   D    
When we were young


Bridge (at 2.24) goes like this....

E     C               B
          Don't you throw it away  (x3)


Full lyrics....

Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, I�m sorry 
What you gonna do when you cross that line, cross that line, cross that line? 
And what you gonna do when you run out of time, run out of time, run out of time? 
What you gonna do when you cross that line, cross that line, cross that line? 
�Sticky fingers� 
And what you gonna do when you run out of time, run out of time, run out of time? 
�Facts and figure ends� 
oh oh oh OH 

All we had was good, just like it should 
When we were young 
We were just nineteen, oh such a scene 
When we were young 

Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, I�m sorry 
What you gonna do when you cross that line, cross that line, cross that line? 
�I told you to eat your dinner!� 
And what you gonna do when you run out of time, run out of time, run out of time? 
�I�m in trouble with you� 

All we had was good, just like it should 
When we were young 
And all you would be kings, you fearless things 
Where are you now? 

Don�t you throw it away, don�t you throw it away 
Don�t you throw it away, away 

All we had was good, just like it should 
When we were young 
We were just nineteen, oh such a scene 
When we were young 
And all you would be kings, you fearless things 
Where are you now?
