[Verse 1]
EWe shed tears for movie scenes
ENo real fears, fake feelings
C#mIt's a sentimental wastelandE  
EWe're young enough to lose teeth
EBut not old enough for enemies
C#mStill steering with both handsE  
[Chorus]
AWe were just kids living young and naïve
ERunning round streets like the King and the Queen
AGas light flicker in your eye, what are Ehopeless dreams?
AStaying out waiting 'til they call off the search
EChewing gum, cherry coke until our brains burned
AA sugar drunk high, we were the Eonly ones, oh
[Verse 2]
EThe bitter taste of nicotine
EStill alive on my coat and jeans
C#mBut you were the light that I saw standing in front of the sun
                                               E(F#m) (E/G#)
You were the girl on the hill singing all night, all night
[Chorus]
AWe were just kids living young and naïve
ERunning round streets like the King and the Queen
AGas light flicker in your eye, what are hoEpeless dreams?
AStaying out waiting 'til they call off the search
EChewing gum, cherry coke until our brains burned
AA sugar drunk high, we were the oEnly ones
[Refrain]
Maybe never be Afound
Like a drop in the C#mocean
If we ever grow Aup
                    N.C.
We'll be gone in the moment
