[INTRO]
Bb C Bb C

[VERSE 1]
Bb
We were just a couple years short of the age
C
By my name on a fake ID
Bb
And still ’bout a hundred away from the day
C
Your daddy said you could run with me
Bb
We were a couple of line steppers
C
Who just couldn’t wait to step over the line
Bb
Never thinkin’ we wouldn’t last
C
I was your first and you were mine

[CHORUS]
Bb
And we were leather jackets hangin’ onto a Harley
C                              F
Two heartbeats in the moonlight
Bb
We were both feet hangin’ out over the edge
C                                      F
Of the water tower skyline
Dm                                      C
At least there’s a little bit of sweet in the bitter
Bb                                                                          F/A
Though a part of me is always gonna miss her
Gm                    C                    Bb                    C
I am who I am, I just miss who I was when we were
Bb      C
Mm-hmm

[VERSE 2]
Bb
We were gonna make it, weren’t we, baby?
C
Had it all laid out in our mind
Bb
By the time we knew time was runnin’ out
C
We’d both done run out of time
Bb                                                        C
And we were downtown Saturday night, last-call cover band
Bb
‘Til the last song played, never thought we’d fade
C
Like the stamp on the back of her hand

[CHORUS]
Bb
We were her on my shoulders, lighter in the air
C                                      F
“Pour Some Sugar On Me”
Bb
We were a top down at Johnson’s field
C                                      F
When she whispered that she wants me
Dm                                                                          C
At least there’s a little bit of sweet in the bitter
Bb                                                        F/A
Though a part of me is always gonna miss her
Gm                    C                    Bb                    F/A
I am who I am, I just miss who I was when we were
Bb                    F/A
Oh, mm-hmm

[CHORUS]
Bb
We were leather jackets hangin’ onto a Harley
C F
Two heartbeats in the moonlight
Bb
We were both feet hangin’ out over the edge
C                                      F
Of the water tower skyline
Dm                                                                           C
At least there’s a little bit of sweet in the bitter
Bb                                      F/A
Though a part of me is always gonna miss her
Gm                    C                                      Bb
I am who I am, I just miss who I was when we were
C        Bb         C
Mmm, yes, I do

[OUTRO]
My friends say
Bb
“Oh well, let that ship sail
C
You gotta let go of her”
Bb
Just wasn’t meant to be
C
But somewhere down deep, I still believe
Bb
That we were
