INTRO: G
G
Broken cars, old guitars
Waiting here for the time to pass,
Em C
Time takes it toll - it took it fast
G
Secret meetings at the river's bend
Em
Simple days when I called you friend
C D
Came a time, we went separate ways
G
Those were our young years
Our wings were drying in the sun
Em D C
Now the winter, at our window feels so cold
G
Where are our young years
G
Everything seemed better days
Boats in which we sailed away
Em C
Lie all rusted on rocky ground
G
Here we sit with a schooner of ale
Em
Dreaming of a wind that'll make us sail
D
Taking us far away
C
Do you remember how it was?
Am
We had the moon and tide behind us
C D
We used to take it up take it up!
G
Those were our young years
Our wings were drying in the sun
Em D C
Now the winter, at our window feels so cold
G
Back in our young years
Sometimes the good did not die young
Em D C
Now we live on memories alone
G
Of our young years

If we had the moon and tide behind us
G
We could still sail so far away
C
And time would pass
And things would change
G D
And memories would fade away
G
Those were our young years
Our wings were drying in the sun
Em D C
Now the winter, at our window feels so cold
G
Back in our young years
Sometimes the good did not die young
Em D C
Now we live on memories alone
G
Those were our young years
You know we'll live it all again
Em D C
We can turn the tide and sail away
G (till end)
Back to our young years
Those were our young years
