When We Were Younger Men Guitar Chords by American Aquarium

[Verse]
(Fmaj)                             (Dmin)
I still hear the silence echo Across the hardwood floor
(Bbmaj)                              (Fmaj)                  (Cmaj)
screaming as you cut across the room to that front door
(Fmaj)                              (Dmin)
nothing lasts forever but id a sworn youd stay
(Bbmaj)                                   (Fmaj)            (Cmaj)    (Bbmaj)
aint it funny how the good things in life seem to fade away

[Pre Chourus]
(Fmaj)       (Cmaj)             (Bbmaj)
We were carrying that heavy load
(Dmin)          (Cmaj)            (Bbmaj)
till one of us got tired of lifting
(Fmaj)               (Cmaj)          (Bbmaj)
we were driving down a dead end road
(Dmin)          (Cmaj)           (Bbmaj)      (Cmaj)
in a car too far gone for fixing

[Chorus]
(Fmaj)                                   (Cmaj)
and i still think about that summer and i still hear the sounds
(Dmin)                   (Bbmaj)
Petty on the radio i wont back down
(Fmaj)                       (Cmaj)
I called you my brother but you were closer than my kin
    (Dmin)                                (Bbmaj)
and it kills me knowing you may never pass my way again
    (Fmaj)            (Cmaj)       (Bbmaj)
but i hope every now and then
(Dmin)            (Cmaj)             (Bbmaj)        (Cmaj)               (Fmaj)
you look back fondly on the days that we were younger men

(Fmaj)  (Dmin)  (Bbmaj) (Fmaj)  (Cmaj)

[Verse]
(Fmaj)                     (Dmin)
we packed up that 350 ford econiline
(Bbmaj)                              (Fmaj)                                  (Cmaj)
with hopes and dreams and other childish things men learn to leave behind
(Fmaj)                                   (Dmin)
we spent a decade doing circles not knowing whats in store
(Bbmaj)                         (Fmaj)        (Cmaj)    (Bbmaj)
each new town more magical than the town before

[Pre Chorus]
(Fmaj)           (Cmaj)        (Bbmaj)
but we lost track of time
(Dmin)                       (Cmaj)               (Bbmaj)
and the dark hair of our youh started to whiten
(Fmaj)                    (Cmaj)           (Bbmaj)
i watched my fathers face become mine
(Dmin)                     (Cmaj)              (Bbmaj)
and the cruel hands of truth start to tighten

[Chorus]
(Fmaj)                                  (Cmaj)
I still think about that summer so long ago it seems
(Dmin)                    (Bbmaj)
petty on the radio us running down the dream
(Fmaj)                           (Cmaj)
i called you my brother but you were closer than my kin
(Dmin)                                    (Bbmaj)
and it kills me knowing you may never pass my way again
(Fmaj)                (Cmaj)       (Bbmaj)
but i hope every now and then
(Dmin)            (Cmaj)             (Bbmaj)        (Cmaj)               (Fmaj)
you look back fondly on the days when we were younger men


[Pre Chorus]
(Bbmaj)                          (Cmaj)
I remember back before that pendelum had swung
(Fmaj)                                    (Bbmaj)
back before we  said the things that couldnt be undone
(Dmin)                          (Cmaj)           (Fmaj)   (Bbmaj)
I remember back when we were wild and we were young

[Chorus]
(Fmaj)                                       (Cmaj)
and i still think about that summer and how it passed us by
(Dmin)                    (Bbmaj)
petty on the radio us learning how to fly
(Fmaj)                           (Cmaj)
i called you my brother but you were closer than my kin
(Dmin)                                      (Bbmaj)
and it kills me knowing you might never pass my way agan
(Fmaj)                (Cmaj)       (Cmaj)
but i hope every now and then
(Dmin)           (Cmaj)             (Bbmaj)       (Cmaj)               (Fmaj)
you look back fondly on the day when we were younger men
