Intro -  Cadd9-  G- D-(Dsus/D) -  Cadd9-  G- D-(Dsus/D)
(verse 1)
      Cadd9                       G      D  Dsus/D  
I remeber standin there by the waterside,
         Cadd9                  G               D  Dsus/D  
Radio's turned up not a bit of sleep all night,
        Cadd9                        G          D  Dsus/D  
Knowin' I was right where I was suppose to be,
Cadd9Never felt so Ggood inside, never Dfelt so free,
(Chorus)
           Cadd9           G    D(Dsus/D)
When we laughed, like fools,
        Cadd9          G     D(Dsus/D)
When we lived like kings,
         Cadd9                      G    D- Cadd9  
When we broke, we broke all the rules,
But it nGever really meant a thinDg,
                        Cadd9 - G - D - (Dsus/D)
Na,na,na,na,na,na,na,na,
                        Cadd9 - G - D - (Dsus/D)
Na,na,na,na,na,na,na,yea,
(verse 2)
A been so many years now since we saw those days,
And most of us have gone our separate ways,
Spent our lonely nights and had our days in the sun,
Sometimes it feels like that they've just begun,
(Chorus)
When we laughed, like fools,
When we lived like kings,
When we broke, we broke all the rules,
But it never really meant a thing,
Na,na,na,na,na,na,na,na,
Na,na,na,na,na,na,na,yea,
Na,na,na,na,na,na,na,na,
Na,na,na,na,na,na,na,yea,

EmOh and if I could somehow,Cadd9  
Just go back there now,
      G  Cadd9-G  
I would, again,
EmCause in the best of times itCadd9,
                       - Am7  
Never crosses your mind,
One day they might have to eDnd,
(Chorus)
           Cadd9          G    D(Dsus/D)
When we laughed, like fools,
       Cadd9            G     D(Dsus/D)
When we lived like kings,
         Cadd9                      G    D- Cadd9  
When we broke, we broke all the rules,
But it Gnever really meant a thinDg,
