[Intro]
B  Bsus2  B    B  Bsus2  B


[Verse 1]
B                                  B
Ten years old, I'd disappear on my old blue Huffy bike
B                                B
We'd stay gone till we heard Mom calling out in the moonlight
Cm7                   B              Cm7               B
We just lied when she asked us, "Hey boys, where y'all been?"
           Cm7              B            Cm7            B
She'd have died if she knew what we were up to way back then


[Verse 2]
B                        C                       B
Wasn't long till we were sneaking out the window with Dad's truck keys
   B            C                           B
Go slidin' into John's beer store with some girls and fake IDs
          Cm7               B                     Cm7                B
And those Friday nights, we tried to score, or at least that was the plan
     Cm7             B                  Cm7                     C
Some left it all out on the field, some found it underneath the stands


[Chorus]
             B
We were just dumb kids
B
We were gonna Do it all
B                          C
Like some young desperados running from the law
   B
So fast, so proud
B
So stupid, so loud
     B               C
Just burning at both ends
             B    C    B
We were just dumb kids


[Verse 3]
     B               C       B         B
From crazy dreams to promise rings, mistakes made in the dark
     B                                          B
I've missed some turns, crashed and burned, and broke my own heart
   Cm7                       B          Cm7                 B
An old song just came on the radio, and man, it took me back
  Cm7                       B           Cm7             C
I guess it's true when they say that we grow up way too fast


[Chorus]
             B
We were just dumb kids
B
We were gonna Do it all
B                          C
Like some young desperados running from the law
   B
So fast, so proud
B
So stupid, so loud
     B               C
Just burning at both ends
                 B
Oh, we were just dumb kids


[Guitar Solo]
Gm7   B   C


[Bridge]
       Gm         C                        B
I'd be lyin' if I said there's things that I wouldn't change
      Cm                B                 B                    C
Yeah, sometimes, I sure miss that boy who thought he knew everything


[Chorus]
             B
We were just dumb kids
B
We were gonna Do it all
B                          C
Like some young desperados running from the law
   B
So fast, so proud
B
So stupid, so loud
     B               C
Just burning at both ends


[Outro]
    Cm7             B               B
Oh, what I wouldn't give to Go back there again
C                 B        B
When we were just dumb kids
     B    C  B B   B
Just dumb kids
