We were searching for OZ

We were burning cigars
BmG
With white plastics tips 'til we saw the sun
G
And we said crazy things like
ChorusA
I refuse to look back thinking days were better
BmGD
Just because they're younger days
A
I don't know what's 'round the corner
BmG
Way I feel right now I swear we'll never change

Back when we were kids

Swore we would never die!

You and me were kids

Swear that we’ll never die!
