[Intro]
    D  Dsus2 Dsus4 D (X2)      C      G
    D  Dsus2 Dsus4 D (X2)      C      G
 
 
[Verse]
D
We were the kids from the cul-de-sacs
 
That got out somehow without looking back
C
It's over
G
It's over
 
 
D
We were the ones that grew up too fast
 
On the front porch steps when we still had friends
C
It's over
G
It's over
 
 
D                         Dsus2    Dsus4
We were the kids who were laughing last
D                   Dsus2    Dsus4
With big ideas and failed attempts
C
It's over
G
It's over
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Em        D              C
Repeat it now, repeat it with me
 
 
[Chorus]
             G
It's in the way
              Bm
We can't explain
                 Em            C
Why we were the ones who got away
 
             G
It's in the way
                     Bm
These memories will fade
              Em                C
So we always keep them locked away
            G
Lock them away
 
 
[Verse]
D                      Dsus2          Dsus4
We were the kids who would scrape and save
D                      Dsus2       Dsus4
And wait around for some better days
C
It's over
G
It's over
 
 
D                      Dsus2       Dsus4
We were the kids that looked one-by-one
D                     Dsus2     Dsus4
We said we would when we were young
C
It's over
G
Yeah, it's over
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Em         D               C
Repeat it now, repeat it with me
 
 
[Chorus]
             G
It's in the way
             Bm
We can't explain
                 Em            C
Why we were the ones who got away
 
             G
It's in the way
                     Bm
These memories will fade
              Em                C
So we always keep them locked away
 
             G
It's in the way
              Bm
We slowly replace
               Em              C
The pieces we left in yesterday
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Em        D             C
Repeat it now, repeat it with me
Em        D                 C
Repeat it now, repeat it with me
 
 
[Chorus]
              G
It's in the way
              Bm
We can't explain
                 Em            C
Why we were the ones who got away
 
             G
It's in the way
                     Bm
These memories will fade
              Em                C
So we always keep them locked away
 
              G
It's in the way
              Bm
We slowly replace
               Em            C
The pieces we left in yesterday
 
             G
It's in the way
                    Bm
These memories will fade
              Em                C
So we always keep them locked away
 
 
D                      Dsus2     Dsus4
We were the kids from the cul-de-sacs
D                           Dsus2    Dsus4
That got out somehow without looking back
G
It's over
