Sixx:A.M. - The First 21

[Intro]

Fm G
When we were young

[Verse]

Cm
Well, the first 21
G
It’s a criminal ride
Bb
Whatever you’ve done
F
You can get out alive
Cm
The first 21
G
Is it Heaven or Hell?
Bb
But who really cares
F
We were under a spell
Cm
The first 21
G
And those hot summer nights
Bb
We were high as the stars
F
Under big city lights

[Chorus]

(When we were young)
Ab
But when we were young
Eb
We learned how to tell our own lies
G
Telling ourselves it was paradise
Cm
And sometimes we even believed it
Ab
When we were young
Eb
Was like nothing that we’d ever seen
G
Pushing ourselves to have bigger dreams
Cm
And sometimes we even believed it
Fm G
When we were young

[Interlude]

Cm G Bb F

[Verse 2]

Cm
The first 21
G
Was a coming of age
Bb
We would take on the world
F
Like we’re turning a page
Cm
The first 21
G
It’s not what you think
Bb
Sometimes you fly
F
But sometimes you sink

[Chorus 2]

(When we were young)
Ab
But when we were young
Eb
We learned how to tell our own lies
G
Telling ourselves it was paradise
Cm
And sometimes we even believed it
Ab
When we were young
Eb
Was like nothing that we’d ever seen
G
Pushing ourselves to have bigger dreams
Cm
And sometimes we even believed it
Fm G
When we were young
