A As if it were yesterday I remember those times being
G young and innocent forming our
D lives. The
E G oysters opened before our
A eyes.
A As if it were yesterday I feel the fun only
G those still young might suc-
D cumb to.
E G Having not a care of what’s to
A come.

G A G A Stayin’ up late. Catchin’ big waves.
G A D A Gettin’ lost downtown. Havin’ close shaves.
D A G A Sparkin’ up bowls. Skatin’ steep holes.
G A D A Rated R movies. Parents don’t know.
D G May have been the best of
A days.

A As if it were yesterday like my kids today we
G had to go to school and follow the
D rules.
E G Somethings we wanted to
A lose.
A As if it were yesterday I have love for
G all my friends I still a-
D dore.
E G They’ll never know how much they helped me
A form.

G A G A Talkin’ ‘bout girls. Polishing pearls.
G A D A Hot, creamy dreams. Hormones unfurl.
D A G A Gettin’ in fights. Some friends had last rights.
G A D A Dumb senseless killings. Drunk driving bites.
D G That was just a taste of what
A became.

A As if it were yesterday tomorrow’s unknown.

A grown.
