Sidewalk Chalk

C                    F
We all start off so young
G                   Am
We all start off so innocent
C                          F
Used to think that time moved slow
C                     G
Now we don’t know where it went

Am                 Dm
Why do we have to grow up?
Dm                   F
Why do we have to get old?
G                          C                    G
There’s just some things I don’t wanna give up, you know?

C       Am
Like lemonade stands
F                                G
People’d give us money even when it tasted bad
C                   Am                         F
We didn’t have any plans, and we were fine with that
G           Am                   Dm
When my invisible friend and I talked
F                                 C                                G
And we’d color the streets with imagined things and all of our dreams
Am

C                   F
We all get lost sometimes
G                      Am
We all get a little off the path
C                           F
That’s usually how you find yourself
C                                G
One day you’ll look back and you’ll laugh

Am                 Dm
Why do we have to grow up?
Dm                   F
Why do we have to get old?
G                          C                    G
There’s just some things I don’t wanna give up, you know?

C                         Am
Like those clear, cold nights
F                     G
We’d bundle up and count the stars in sight
C            Am            F             G
We were freezing but we were fine with that
Am                       Dm
When that friend and I used to talk
F                                                   G
And we’d color the streets with imagine things and all of our dreams

Dm                         Am
First we’re too young for things
Dm                        F
Then we’re too old for things
C
Then we’re supposed to forget those things
G                                      Dm
And turn the page once we hit a certain age
Am
But I don’t wanna move on
F
And I won’t ever forget
C                 G                    C
Cause those things they make me who I am

C                            Am
Like how we’d run down the halls
F                               Gm                      C
Singing songs so loud you could hear us through the walls
Dm                         F                G
Didn’t know the words but we were fine with that
Am                           Dm
Then we’d sit on the pavement and talk
Gm                             F                 C           G
And color the streets with imagined things and all of our dreams
Am
