[Verse]
EmWe used to stay Dup so late
EmDrinking in bed, lCistening to Morrison
EmJimi was there, Dwith all his friends
EmWatching you fill Cme up with sin
EmAnd when we kissed, I never notDiced
EmHow much you look like CobaCin
Did you fDeel his pain?
[Chorus]
CWe were so much younger then
REmeaching for the heavens
WCe were so much younger then
YDou were 27
WCe were so much younger then
REmeaching for the heavens
WrDapped up in ourselves
CWe were so much younger then
REmeaching for the heavens
WCe were so much younger then
YDou were 27
WCe were so much younger then
REmeaching for the heavens
DSomewhere we fell

We used to stay up so late

Drinking in bed, listening to Morrison

Jimi was there, with all his friends

Watching you fill me up with sin

And when we kissed, I never noticed

How much you look like Cobain

Did you feel his pain?

[Chorus]

We were so much younger then

Reaching for the heavens

We were so much younger then

You were 27

We were so much younger then

Reaching for the heavens

Wrapped up in ourselves

We were so much younger then

Reaching for the heavens

We were so much younger then

You were 27

We were so much younger then

Reaching for the heavens

Somewhere we fell

[Verse]

Em D

And when they roamed, you followed

Into the pit, you made me sick

But you dragged me in, into your dark

Em C D

Now I can`t go back, we`ve gone too far

Now I am 27

Reaching for the heavens

I am 27

Making bad decisions

I am 27

Reaching for the heavens

And raising a little hell
