 D             G 
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh 

D                                     G 
Time stopped movin' the minute I saw ya 
                        Bm 
You took my Taylor guitar in the city of stars and you made it 
       G 
Your own 

(In the city of stars and you made it your own) 
          D                           G 
Late night, oh, how I'm missin' those brown eyes 
                          Bm 
Funny I'd rather be fightin' with you than alone in the city we 
    G 
Knew 

(Alone in the city, alone in the city we knew) 

D 
Four years gone by in the blink of an eye 
            G 
We were young till we weren't 

It was fun till it hurt 
     Bm                                      G 
Now I'm terrified that I'll never find love like yours 

                  D 
If I would've known 
                          G 
Those were the golden years 
                      Bm                           A 
I would've held you longer that night when you kissed me goodbye 
G 
Through your tears 
                  D 
If I would've known 
                           G 
Those were the golden years 
                  Bm                     A                  G 
I would've never left you alone when you needed me most, my dear 
                                 D                  G 
'Cause those were the golden years (woo-ooh, woo-ooh) 
                          Bm                 G 
Those were the golden years (woo-ooh, woo-ooh) 

 D                               G 
I left you under the cherry tree that June 
                           Bm                               G 
Back at the place where I told you that I loved you way too soon 

(Loved you way too soon, loved you way too soon) 
 D                                  G 
Lately, I stare at the pictures you gave me 
                        Bm                       G 
I can't help wonderin' if you ever stare back at them too 

(Stare back at them, stare back at them) 

                   D 
If I would've known 
                           G 
Those were the golden years 
                    Bm                         A 
I would've held you longer that night when you kissed me goodbye 
G 
Through your tears 
                   D 
If I would've known 
                           G 
Those were the golden years 
                 Bm                      A                  G 
I would've never left you alone when you needed me most, my dear 
                                   D 
'Cause those were the golden years 

   D            A          Bm           G 
So dance with me under the cherry tree, darlin' 
      D              A               Bm    G 
We'll act like we're still young and free (mmm) 
       D            A             Bm       G 
'Cause I'm still in love with the story of us 
            D             A            Bm  G 
We were young, but our love, it was real 

                   D 
If I would've known 
                           G 
Those were the golden years 
                     Bm                        A 
I would've held you longer that night when you kissed me goodbye 
G 
Through your tears 
                  D 
If I would've known 
                           G 
Those were the golden years 
                 Bm                      A                  G 
I would've never left you alone when you needed me most, my dear 
                                 D                  G 
'Cause those were the golden years (woo-ooh, woo-ooh) 
                         Bm                   G 
Those were the golden years (woo-ooh, woo-ooh) 

                           D 
Those were the golden years
