           A 
When I was young, yeah I was young one time, we’ve all been young. 
                                                             
But, this one time when I was young my buddy gave me a tape.  
         E 
And it freaked me out. 

I didn’t know what to do. It was like TNT. I was in my brother’s room. 
A 
And another time, different friend, different house, 

different song, different band, he had real long hair, 
                                                     E 
pulled the record out, put the needle on oh yeah and freaked me out. 

I’d never done drugs. I barely brushed my teeth. 

I was on the floor all glassy eyed fucked up beyond belief. 

       A 
Who'da known, who'da known, who'da known, who'da known 
         D                A 
That it would be rock and roll 
            E 
That would terrify me 

That would haunt me so completely 

              A 
Yeah you were there, summer-time, young love, halcyon days, elysian fields, 
                                                                               
Marlboro reds, white car, blue eyes, cd in, cd in, cd in, a cd in a car stereo 
        E 
and it freaked me out, what he said about love. You were right there 

I don’t know where I was. 

A 
How much do I owe my uncle? I expect it’s more than I can pay. 
                                                                        E 
He gave us a tascam, some maxells, a shure 57 and a stereo delay and it freaked me out. 

Yeah the hum and the hiss. We were only 16, thought we were the shit 

       A 
Who'da known, who'da known, who'da known, who'da known 
         D                A 
That it would be rock and roll 
            E 
That would terrify me 

That would haunt me so completely
