Capo on 3rd fret
Em C G
Em C G D
Em C G
Em C D G
              Em
When we were young
         D        Em
Oh, when we were young
         C             G                D       Em
We put popcorn on a string and hung it on the sill
C               G            D          G
Carolers would sing as the night grew still
             Em
And we were poor
        D Em
Back in 1984
              C              G                   D         Em
There were candles on the fireplace and tinsel round the wreath
C              G       D            G
And a foot of snow on top of the streets
Em C G
Ooooooooooh
Em C G D
Ooooooooooh
Em C G
Ooooooooooh
Em C D G
Ooooooooooh
              Em
And when I'd grown
             D   Em
Like we all must do
         C             G
Found myself a sturdy soul
D            Em
To see me through
C             G      D G
That was the fall of '92
        Em
I was strong
          D         Em
And from dusk till dawn
    C         G                   D              Em
I worked two jobs just to keep the lights on
C               G        D      Em
I saved up for months to buy a chain
        C         G      D         G
And I gave it to one on Christmas Day
D
Ooooooooooh
        Bm          C                    G
And I found myself alone in the winter cold
         Em                 C       D       G
Now my life is filled with things I do not need
         Em            C             G
But the only thing I want before I'm old
      Em     C      D        G
Won't fit under my christmas tree
        Em          D       Em
Are we lost to our younger days
    C             G       D         Em
No longer are we able to find that place
C                 G       D       Em
Strangers to the kids we used to know
       C        G         D       G
And I don't decorate my house no more
(Brandi sings this part is a capella,
 but you can play the intro)
Oooooooooh
G        Em           C              G
And the only thing I want before I leave
       Em    C       D        G
Won't fit under my Christmas tree
         Em           C              G
And the only thing I want before I leave
      Em     C      D         G
Won't fit under my Christmas tree
      Em     C      D         G
Won't fit under my Christmas tree
