[Verse 1]
E A
Four squeezed in on a bench seat
E A
Five holding on the bed
E A
Slip Joe's older brother a 20, that was plenty
E A
For a case of beer and a pack of Reds
E A
And we were set
E A
We wore our jerseys on Fridays
E A
Felt like kings of the world
C#m B
Class ring hanging on a silver chain
A
From the neck of your girl
[Chorus]
E A
Hey, back when young and dumb was beautiful
E B
We knew that we knew it all, no one could proves us wrong
E A E
Those were the days, couldn't wait to lose our innocence
A E B
Brag about it to our friends, Monday after prom
C#m B
Swore we'd always be together, didn't know any better
A E A
Back when, we thought, we'd be, 18 forever
E A
18 forever
[Verse 2]
E A
Back when freedom was a set of car keys
E A
We were half a tank from anywhere
E A
Yeah, I'm still wearing that memory on me
E A
We got tattoos on a dare
E A
We didn't care
[Chorus]
E A
Hey, back when young and dumb was beautiful
E B
We knew that we knew it all, no one could proves us wrong
E A E
Those were the days, couldn't wait to lose our innocence
A E B
Brag about it to our friends, Monday after prom
C#m B
Swore we'd always be together, didn't know any better
A E A
Back when, we thought, we'd be, 18 forever
E A
18 forever
[Bridge]
C#m
Well it's crazy how those fast times,
B
ones you thought would always last times,
A B
turn into wish you had them back times
[Chorus]
E A
Hey, back when young and dumb was beautiful
E B
We knew that we knew it all, no one could proves us wrong
E A E
Those were the days, couldn't wait to lose our innocence
A E B
Brag about it to our friends, Monday after prom
C#m B
Swore we'd always be together, didn't know any better
A E A
Back when, we thought, we'd be, 18 forever
E A
18 forever
[Outro]
E A
18 forever
