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