If things were differeCnt, we were young
 Skinny dipping, having fun, I remember    e   
 Back in 1991,C when the story first begun, I remember (I remee mber)
 CAll of these shells, holding the things I've done   e   
 CI knew myself before I knew anyone    e   

And cause we all cheCw gum, we all have fun with water guns
 La da da da da a da, da da dum dum dum
 And we all gCrew up, sh** got tough
 Sh** just wasn't simple enough   a   
Ahh Oh      C        e          C         e   

 ACnd whenever the sun cama e out, we played      e   
(We didn't want to get older, we didn't want to get older)
 CWe would run on the block ala l night and day       e   
(We didn't want to get older)

 WChat a mistake, saying the way I felt      e   
 CI say my name influences myself    e   

 And cause I starteCd young, I learned it done, I didn't run
 La da da da da a da
 I was scarCed as f*** and out of touch, and I was still testing my luck, oh         a   

 ACnd whenever the sun cama e out, we played      e   
(We didn't want to get older, we didn't want to get older)
 CWe would run on the block alla night and day       e   
(We didn't want to get older, we didn't want to get older)
 ACnd whenever the sun camea out, we played       e   
(We didn't want to get older, we didn't want to get older)
 CI left mysa elf in the alleywae y 

 If things were differeCnt, we were young
 Skinny dipping, having fun, I remember     e   
(I left myself in the alleyway)
 CAll I wanted would become everything I ever loved, I remember e
