[Verse 1]
Am C F
She said we're only young once
Am C
The back of a Chevrolet, "Hey Now" on the radio
F
Ashes in the tray
Am C
You can only get drunk once
F
On this kind of naivety
Am C F
Who knows how long we’re always gonna feel this way?
[Pre-Chorus]
G Am F
Time goes by, and it'll dull the razor
G Am F
And we don't know why
N.C.
Let’s worry 'bout that later
Am C F
'Cause if we never do nothin' else stupid
N.C.
If we never do nothin' else stupid
C
At least we know someday
G
That we can look back and say
Am C F
We were young once
[Chorus]
N.C.
We were young once
Am C F
We were gung-ho, singin' in the sun once
N.C.
Backroads in the wild, on the run once
Am C F
Cheap thrills, doing things in the wheat fields
Am C F
We were young, we were young, we were young once
Am C F
We were young once
[Verse 2]
Am C F
She said, "Let's get a cheap hotel
And make out in the hall"
Am C F
I'll cover up your mouth and play it cool if my parents call
Am C F
Let’s get lost tonight
N.C.
Before the world’s too small
Am C F
Someday we're gonna know too much to know it all
[Pre-Chorus]
G Am F
Time goes by, and it'll dull the razor
G Am F
And we don't know why
N.C.
Let’s worry 'bout that later
Am C F
'Cause if we never do nothin' else stupid
N.C.
If we never do nothin' else stupid
C
At least we know someday
G
We can look back and say
Am C F
We were young once
[Chorus]

We were young once
Am C F
We were gung-ho, singin' in the sun once

Cheap thrills, doing things in the wheat fields
Am C F
We were young, we were young, we were young once
Am C F
We were young, we were young, we were young once
Am C F Am C F
We were young, we were young, we were young once
