We were young
No one could figure out
Things we said
There was so much to laugh about
Em
Now at the end of the day
G
Wish I could hear you say
Bm
We're at the starting gate
D
And the race is on again
[Riff 1]
D
Just last night
I couldn't sleep at all
Lost my mind
Lost my footing scaling the wall
Em
Now at the break of day
G
Wish I could hear you say
Bm
We're at the starting gate
D
And the race is on again
