_ [A] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [Em] _
_ [D] I [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _
[A] was just 18 [G] choking back the fright, [A] waiting in the [G] wings on a Friday night, [C] then I walked
on stage with my heart [G] beating like a drum. _ _ _ _
[A] It was strange but it felt [G] like coming home,
[A] like some deeper truth [G] I had always known, [C] and I couldn't wait to do it again when the
show was [F] done.
_ And we were [G] all so young, _ [C] _ we were [G] all so young, [C] we were all so young.
_ [G] _ _ When [D] did the time go by [A] between a thousand cities [C] and a wink of an eye?
We were all [G] so young.
I guess sometimes [D] I just could not see [A] with that bright spotlight [Em] shining down [E] on me.
[C] _ I've always
had [G] this song on the tip of [A] my tongue.
[F] _ And we were all [Am] so _ _ young, _ [Gm] _ _ [D] _ _ _
[C] _ _ [G] we were all [Am] so young. _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ [A] It was rock and roll [G] about the gospel truth, [A] and it caused a stir that [G] was front page news,
[C] and we quickly learned that you can't please [G] everyone. _ _
[C] _ _ _ [G] _ [Am] But we wanted to stand [G] for what is real,
[Am] as _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [C] the critics all sneered we sang at the top of [G] our _ [F] lungs.
_ We were all [G] so _ _ _ young, we were all so
young.
We [C] were all so [G] young. _ _ _
I [D] know the times have [A] changed, but the simple truth [C] it always stayed
the same.
_ We were all [G] so young, I [D] never could have dreamed [Am] of the hope and [Em] joy that a song can bring.
[C] _ I've really [G] got to say I'm a [A] fortunate son.
[F] _ And we were all [A] so young,
[Am] _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ we were [Am] all so young.
_ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ We were all [A] so young, _ _ [F] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [G] we were [Am] all so young.
_ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _
Now the lights grow dim [G] as the time gets near.
[Am] My thoughts flood back [G] over 30 years.
[C] I still feel just as good as when [G] I first begun.
[C] _ _ _ _
[Am] As I gaze at you, [G] past the microphone,
[Am] it's a different view [G] from the one I've known.
[C] Now I'm playing [F] my songs [C] for your daughters
and [G] your sons.
[F] _ _ [G] And we were all so young, we were all so [C] young.
[G] So young.
We were all so young.
Yeah.
_ _ _ I've [D] traveled this world around, [Am] and one by one [C] I've watched the world fall down.
And we were all [G] so young, the [D] hardest thing I've found [Am] is to keep my [Em] focus and to place them [C] fine.
We climbed the ladder [G] in faith, run [D] by wrong.
[F] Yet again, we were all [A] so young, we were all [B] so young.
[G] _ _ _
_ Then we were [Am] all so _ young, [F] _ _ _ _ [G] _ [D] _
we were all [G] so young, we were [Am] all so _ young.
[F] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ [A] So young. _
