You Me at Six - When We Were Younger

Chord diagram for G
Chord diagram for Em
Chord diagram for Bm
      Okay - slightly edited this one! This is done on piano and so I don't know if it 
will sound exactly the same on guitar. 

G Em Bm x6

         G        Em       Bm
When I was younger, I always thought
I could be someone if I tried enough
When I was younger, my father said
Wear a smile, show respect
When I was younger, you never said
When I was older, I'd feel helpless
When I was younger, you shone the light
And now that I'm older, it doesn't shine bright
When I was younger, you always said
That as I got older, you'd always be there
             G Em Bm x4
I'm singin' ooohhh 
            G        Em       Bm
When I was younger, I used to care
About everything that my father said
When I was younger, you even told me
To show evil, the utmost respect
When I was younger, I never thought
That when I was older, I'd see you give up
Now that I'm older, I carry the torch
Just promise you'll stand and you'll be strong

             G  Em Bm x8
I'm singin' ooohhh

            G        Em       Bm
When I was younger, I never thought
When I was younger, I never thought
That when I was older I'd fight your wars
That when I was older I'd fight your wars
I'll do it for you, I'll do it for you
I'll do it for you, I'll do it for
             G        Em       Bm
When I was younger, I only dreamed
That when I got older, you'd be proud of me
When I was younger, I promised you both
That when I was older, you'd be proud of me


You Me At Six until I die!
