[Intro]    
C   G   Am     Fmaj7
C   G   Fmaj7  Fmaj7
C   G   Am     Fmaj7
C   G   Fmaj7  Fmaj7
[Chorus]
C              G
    We used to never say never
Am                      F
    Used to think we'll live forever
C          G                    Fmaj7
    Flying free beneath the sun.
C           G
    Days go running and hiding
        Am       F
    The weeks go slipping and sliding,
C               G                          F
    Years leave quicker every time they come
                          C
    Remember when we were young
[Instrumental]
    G   Am     Fmaj7
C   G   Fmaj7  Fmaj7
[Verse 1]
G                    Am
    Look back to the best of days
F                  C
    Collecting our yesterdays
G           C        C/G    Fmaj7
    As they build up one by one
G              Am
    Oh, how we beg and we borrow
F             Am
    Say we'll do it tomorrow,
G       Am             C/G      Fmaj7
    But tomorrow never seems to come.
[Chorus]
C              G
    We used to never say never
Am                      F
    Used to think we'll live forever
C          G                    Fmaj7
    Flying free beneath the sun.
C           G
    Days go running and hiding
        Am       F
    The weeks go slipping and sliding,
C               G                          F
    Years leave quicker every time they come
                          C
    Remember when we were young
[Instrumental]
    G   F   Fmaj7
C   G   F   Fmaj7
[Verse 2]
G                Am
    When we were boys on the beach
F          C
    Everything was in reach
G              C          C/G     Fmaj7
    I know it's hard to remember
G                  Am
    but oh how the years they vanish
F            Am
    I always wanted to learn Spanish
G               Am            C/G       Fmaj7
    And travel 'round South-America
[Chorus]
C              G
    We used to never say never
Am                      F
    Used to think we'll live forever
C          G                    Fmaj7
    Flying free beneath the sun.
C           G
    Days go running and hiding
        Am       F
    The weeks go slipping and sliding,
C               G                          F
    Years leave quicker every time they come
[Bridge]
                          C         G      Fmaj7
    Remember when we were young, oh oh, oh oh
                          C         G      Fmaj7
    Remember when we were young, oh oh, oh oh
                         C          G      Fmaj7
    Remember when we were young, oh oh, oh oh
