We Did It When We Were Young

[Bm] [F#] [G] [D] [G] [D] [A]

D[Bm]on't write me no mor[F#]e letters
M[G]y mailbox is full of[D] bombs
Between[G] you and the kooks[D] on my block[A]
I don'[Bm]t remember the good ti[F#]mes
I wasn't[G] there and you were k[D]ind
And my [G]wife has some d[D]ogs in our ya[A]rd
And I[G] cannot hold a ca[D]ndle for ev[A]ery prett[Bm]y girl
We were[G] strangers many hour[D]s
And I mi[A]ssed you for so long
When we were [Bm]lions, lovers in com[A]bat
Faded like your [G]name on those jeans that I [D]bu[A]rn[G]ed
But I am ol[D]der n[A]ow
And we did[Bm] it when we were y[G]oung
I am olde[D]r no[A]w
And we did[Bm] it when we were y[G]oung

There are no reasons to believe
I buried my faith in an unmarked plot
With your heart and your clothes
When I find that I don't feel you or recall
I'll put your bones out in the yard
Someone else to be called and called by
And I cannot hold a candle for every pretty girl
We were strangers many hours
And I missed you for so long
When we were lions, lovers in combat
Faded like your name on those jeans that I burned
But I am older now
And we did it when we were young
I am older now
And we did it when we were young
I am older now
And we did it when we were young
I am older now
