When the sky was gold
And I needed no protection
But as the wind would blow
A thousand miles in no direction
Man, it was a beautiful sight
Days were soaked in sunlight
Just so long ago
But lately I like to imagine
When I was young
Whatever happened it would do me no wrong
As long [Am]as I could sing my [A]favorite song
When I was [Am7]young, oh
And the holidays went on [C7]and [Bm]on
We were so high
Let the freeway take us into [C7]the night
And in the dark you [A7sang my [A]favorite song
When I was [Am7]young, oh
And the holidays went on [C7]and [Bm]on
And on, and [Bm]on, and [Bm]on
When I was [Am7]young (Woo!)
Now the sky is gray
But honestly, it doesn’t hurt me (No)
I learned to [C7]find my [A]way
On the path and [Bm]no ɾeturnin' oh, oh
Everything I’ve left behind
I'm ɾeminded every time I meet your eyes
We were so bold and [Bm]brave
Baby, can you [A7imagine?
When I was [Am7]young
Whatever happened it would do me no wrong
As long [Am]as I could sing my [A]favorite song
When I was [Am7]young, oh
And the holidays went on [C7]and [Bm]on
We were so high
Let the freeway take us into [C7]the night
And in the dark you [A7sang my [A]favorite song
When I was [Am7]young, oh
And the holidays went on [C7]and [Bm]on
And on, and [Bm]on, and [Bm]on
When I was [Am7]young (Woo!)
When I was [Am7]young
We would play with fire
When I was [Am7]young
And we would f*ck the price
When I was [Am7]young
It was [Am7]do or die
I would give my [A]life just to [C7]feel like
When I was [Am7]young
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
(Oh, do or die)
When I was [Am7]young
Do me no wrong
We were so high
Oh, and [Bm]the holidays went on [C7]and [Bm]on
And on, and [Bm]on, and [Bm]on
When I was [Am7]young
