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