| [00:01.242][Verse 1] |
|
| [00:18.367] |
We were kids, we played with matches |
| [00:25.369] |
While we grew up we started bands |
| [00:32.487] |
Yeah we skipped school but played the dances |
| [00:39.830] |
And well, we started making fans |
| [00:46.934] |
We blew off college, toured the country in a van |
| [00:52.302][Pre-Chorus] |
|
| [00:53.270] |
And sometimes at the grocery store |
| [00:56.908] |
The people say they knew me back when |
| [01:00.332][Chorus] |
|
| [01:00.529] |
We were teenage rockstars |
| [01:07.715] |
Made our hometown proud |
| [01:14.428] |
When we were teenage rockstars |
| [01:22.859] |
We taught ourselves to play |
| [01:27.205] |
And we'd play it loud |
| [01:30.815][Verse 2] |
|
| [01:33.490] |
We signed a deal and made some records |
| [01:40.765] |
Sold out shows and married young |
| [01:47.824] |
The money came, we started fading |
| [01:54.891] |
We partied hard and had our fun |
| [02:02.224] |
We blew off deadlines and forgot to call our friends |
| [02:07.752][Pre-Chorus] |
|
| [02:08.517] |
And sometimes at the shopping mall |
| [02:11.929] |
The people say they knew me back when |
| [02:15.351][Chorus] |
|
| [02:15.770] |
We were teenage rockstars |
| [02:22.936] |
Made our fathers proud |
| [02:29.648] |
When we were teenage rockstars |
| [02:38.004] |
We taught ourselves to play |
| [02:42.302] |
And we'd play it loud |
| [02:48.833][Bridge] |
|
| [03:10.262] |
And now I sit at this piano |
| [03:17.399] |
I watch my daughter in the yard |
| [03:24.510] |
I think about those days in high school |
| [03:31.735] |
My best friend playing his guitar |
| [03:38.195] |
In my parent's living room |
| [03:41.665] |
Where all of this began |
| [03:44.433][Pre-Chorus] |
|
| [03:45.244] |
And when I leave the shows these days |
| [03:48.655] |
The people say they knew me back when |
| [03:52.389][Chorus] |
|
| [03:52.625] |
We were teenage rockstars |
| [03:59.275] |
So young and so strung out |
| [04:06.338] |
When we were teenage rockstars |
| [04:14.018] |
We taught ourselves to play |
| [04:17.438] |
We took the stage |
| [04:19.356] |
And we played loud |
| [04:24.361] |
|
