[Verse 1]
C
It was you and me
C
Sitting in an apple tree
C
At the summer's end
F G
We were only seventeen
Am C Em
We held on so tight, that September night
F
Then you promised me
[Chorus]
G C F
We're never getting older we're never gonna be that way
C F G
Remember when I told ya we would make it out someday
Am C Em
Let them say we're crazy, 'cause we already won
F G C
When you promised me, we'd be forever young
[Verse 2]
G C
I got your letter
F
I can't seem to put it down
C
It makes it better
F G
To have a piece of you around
C
They're all just strangers
F
Their words don't mean a thing
C
I swear I'll die here
F G
I swear that I'd do anything
Am Em
To be back again, at the summer's end
F
When you promised me
[Chorus]
G C F
We're never getting older, we're never gonna be that way
C F G
Remember when I told ya we would make it out someday
Am C Em
They still say we're crazy and I still say we won
F G
When you promised me, we'd be forever--
[Bridge]
F C
Sooner or later-time gets the best of you
F C
I should've known better-you gotta do what you gotta do
F
If I had me a river
Am
I'd sit and watch it run by
G
I'd never let it run dry
F
I'm never gonna say goodbye
C G C F
[Chorus]
G C F
We're never getting older we're never gonna be that way
C F G
Remember when I told ya we would make it out someday

Let them say we're crazy, 'cause we already won

When you promised me, we'd be forever young
