[Verse 1]
F
It was you and me
F
Sitting in an apple tree
F
At the summer's end
A# C
We were only seventeen
Dm F Am
We held on so tight, that September night
A#
Then you promised me
[Chorus]
C F A#
We're never getting older we're never gonna be that way
F A# C
Remember when I told ya we would make it out someday
Dm F Am
Let them say we're crazy, 'cause we already won
A# C F
When you promised me, we'd be forever young
[Verse 2]
C F
I got your letter
A#
I can't seem to put it down
F
It makes it better
A# C
To have a piece of you around
F
They're all just strangers
A#
Their words don't mean a thing
F
I swear I'll die here
A# C
I swear that I'd do anything
Dm Am
To be back again, at the summer's end
A#
When you promised me
[Chorus]
C F A#
We're never getting older, we're never gonna be that way
F A# C
Remember when I told ya we would make it out someday

They still say we're crazy and I still say we won
A# C
When you promised me, we'd be forever--
[Bridge]
A# F
Sooner or later-time gets the best of you
A# F
I should've known better-you gotta do what you gotta do
A#
If I had me a river
Dm
I'd sit and watch it run by
C
I'd never let it run dry
A#
I'm never gonna say goodbye
F C F A#
[Chorus]
C F A#
We're never getting older we're never gonna be that way
