[Verse 1]
D
We were the kids from
the cul-de-sacs That got
Em
out somehow without looking
          C         G
back It's over it's over
D
We were the ones that grew
                   Em
up too fast On the front
porch steps when we still
                 C         G
had friends It's over it's over
D
We were the kids who were laughing
          Em
last With big ideas and failed
              C         G
attempts It's over it's over
Em          D             C
  Repeat it now repeat it with me
 
 
[Chorus 1]
            G              Bm
It's in the way we can't explain
                Em            C
Why we were the ones who got away
            G
It's in the way these memories
     Bm                Em
will fade So we always keep
             C              G
them locked away Lock them away

would scrape and save
         Em
And we'd wait around
for some better days
     C         G
It's over it's over
D
We were the kids that
                   Em
