When We Were Younger

Intro: F C Dm Dm Gm F C C
F C
I never really got why we're here
Dm Bb
Just look at all we build in our lives and we all disappear
Gm F
Few of us are born with so much
C C
While most of us just chasing down a dream that we just can't touch
F C
So why we try so hard in this place?
Dm Bb
When pain and suffering is a guarantee and happiness is a phase
Gm F
I wonder if one day we're at peace
C C
Or will this whole world just become like the middle east?
C Dm
But when I was younger, when I was younger
Bb F
I had the answers, I've got to say
C Dm
But all of my answers, now that I'm older
Bb F
Turned into questions, in front of me
F C
I wonder where we go when we die
Dm Bb
If there is anything past our lost sun and our sky?
Gm F
Cuz airports only take us so high
C C
Is it hidden in the stars? What's the answer to your soul lying?
F C
I wonder do we get to come back
Dm Bb
I wonder if I will remember these questions I've asked
Gm F
Will I just star over again?
C C
I hope it's not too hard to find all of my old friends
C Dm
But when we were younger, when we were younger
Bb F
I had the answers, I've got to say
C Dm
But all of my answers, now that I'm older
Bb F
Turned into questions, in front of me 2x
F C
I wonder if we get one true love
Dm Bb
Or maybe there's a few out there or maybe not even one
Gm F
I wonder if it's made up by man
C C
I wonder if love is what we make with our own two hands
F C
I wonder why I write all these songs
Dm Bb
I wonder if you know what you're saying when you sing along
Gm F
And will you know my name when I'm gone?
C
Or are you just too sick of these love songs?
C Dm
But when we were younger, when we were younger
Bb F
I had the answers, I've got to say
C Dm
But all of my answers, now that I'm older
Bb F
Turned into questions, in front of me 2x
C Dm
Right in front of me, in front of me
Bb F
Everythings changes in front of me
(C Dm Bb F)
