CWe all start off so yFoung 
GWe all start off so Aminnocent 
CUsed to think that time movFed slow 
CNow we don’t know wherGe it went 
[Pre-Chorus]
AmWhy do we have to gDmrow up? 
DmWhy do we have to get Fold? 
GThere’s just some things I Cdon’t wanna give up, Gyou know? 
[Chorus]
CLike lemAmonade stands 
FPeople’d give us money even when Git tasted bad 
CWe didn’t have any pAmlans, and we were fine with Fthat 
GWhen my inviAmsible friend and I taDmlked 
FAnd we’d color the streets with imCagined things and all of our dreaGms 
AmIn sidewalk chalk

CWe all get lost someFtimes 
GWe all get a little off Amthe path 
CThat’s usually how you find Fyourself 
COne day you’ll look back and you’Gll laugh 
[Pre-Chorus]
AmWhy do we have to gDmrow up? 
DmWhy do we have to get Fold? 
GThere’s just some things I Cdon’t wanna give up, Gyou know?
