	        INTRO: B C# F# x4 

VERSE 
                B               C#            F# 
'Cause it was Bell Biv DeVoe, playing on my radio 
             B           C#            F# 
And I had Wu-Tang Clan living in my stereo 
                B               C#    F# 
Mama said we're 6th generation Oregonians 
                  B       C#                 F# 
I was rocking in Jordans with reflector tongues 
             B               C#                  F# 
Two kids with wet cement living down in their souls 
                     B                      C#                        F# 
They say what gets caught when you're young stays there when you're old 
    B                             C#       F# 
So misunderstood they say you're up to no good 
                          B        C#           F# 
And now we're trying our best to start it over again 

Pre-Chorus 
                             B 
If I'd had met you at the playground 
C#                F# 
Before a hand could tear your world down 
                           B 
Before I slammed down the door and 
    C#                   F# 
You said I'm just like my old man 
                            B 
Before I put you in those boxes 
         C#             F# 
And we learned how to disagree 
                            B 
And how your family is a rocket 
        C#           F# 
That blows up in infidelity 

B C# F# For crying out loud I wanna know B C# F# How the waves keep on crashing down the doors B C# F# Feel the weight of the world and they keep on bringing more B C# F# If it's just you and me on the floor B C# F# Go grab your coat and I'll drive us home B Like we were just kids C# F# Just, j-j-just kids B C# F# J-j-just kids, just, just kids B Like we were just kids C# F# Just kids, j-j-just kids B C# F# J-j-just kids, j-j-just kids
VERSE B C# F# Bob Marley was painted on my high-school walls B C# F# But I just disappeared into the darkroom hall B C# F# Never thought I'd ever make it quite this far B C# F# Teacher put up my photographs, say 'son you'll be a star' B C# F# It was smoking mirrors, running down through my veins B C# F# I kept on running downtown, running from God's grace B C# F# Every morning I'd climb back through, those window panes B C# F# And try my best to ride it out over Instrumental tapes Pre-Chorus B If I'd had met you at the playground C# F# Before a hand could tear your world down B Before I slammed down the door and C# F# You said I'm just like my old man B Before I put you in those boxes C# F# And we learned how to disagree B And how your family is a rocket C# F# That blows up in infidelity
Chorus B C# F# For crying out loud I wanna know B C# F# How the waves keep on crashing down the doors B C# F# Feel the weight of the world and they keep on bringing more B C# F# If it's just you and me on the floor B C# F# Go grab your coat and I'll drive us home B Like we were just kids C# F# Just, j-j-just kids B C# F# J-j-just kids, just, just kids B Like we were just kids C# F# Just kids, j-j-just kids B C# F# J-j-just kids, j-j-just kids
BRIDGE x4 B C# F# I can feel it in the way we try F# I can feel it in the way we fight B C# F# We're standing side by side F# B Like we were just kids
