C  Am  F
[Verse 1]
There was a Cguy at my school when AmI was in high school
We'd Fride side by side in the Cmorning on our bicycles 
CNever even spoken or Amfaced each other 
But on the Flast hill we'd Crace each other 
When we Creached the racks we'd each Amgo our own way 
I Fwasn't in his classes, I Cdidn't know his name 
When we Cfinally got to speak he just Amstared at his feet 
And Fmumbled a sentence that Cended with 'James' 
[Chorus]
CI was young and Amcaught in the crowd 
FI didn't know then what CI know now 
CI was dumb, and AmI was proud and I'm Fsorry C  
CIf I could go back Amdo it again 
FI'd be someone Cyou could call friend 
CPlease pleaAmse believe that I'm Fsorry C  
[Verse 2]
Well he was Cquite a big guy, kinda Amshy and quiet 
When the Fkids called him weird he didn't Ctry to deny it 
Every Clunchtime he'd spend Amwalking by himself 
Round the Fboundary of the grounds til he Cheard the bell 
Well Cone day I found him, Amjoined him on his walk 
We were Fsilent for a while until we Cstarted to talk 
I tCold him my family were Amfighting in court 
He Fsaid his step-dad and Chim always fought 
We Ctalked about music, Amhe was into punk 
FTold me all the bands that I Cliked were junk 
I Csaid I'd never heard the Amsongs the sex pistols sang 
I Flaughed back at him and Cthen the bell rang 
[Chorus]
CI was young and Amcaught in the crowd 
FI didn't know then what CI know now 
CI was dumb, and AmI was proud and I'm Fsorry C  
CIf I could go back Amdo it again 
FI'd be someone Cyou could call friend 
CPlease pleaAmse believe that I'm FsorryC  
[Verse 3]
It was Cafter school in the Amafternoon 
The Fcorridors were crowded as we Ccame out of the rooms 
Three Cguys I knew pushed him Aminto the cement 
ThFrew away his bag and saCid he had no friends 
He yCelled that he did and he Amlooked around 
FTried getting up but they Cpushed him on down 
CThat's when he saw me, Amcalled out my Fname C  
And I Cturned my backAm, and just Fwalked Caway
Yeah I Cturned my bacAmk, and just Fwalked Caway 
[Chorus]
CI was young and Amcaught in the crowd 
FI didn't know then what CI know now 
CI was dumb, and AmI was proud and I'm Fsorry C  
CIf I could go back Amdo it again
