Capo 2

G                                       Em
We were born to mothers who smoked and drank
      G                                          Em
Our Cribs were cribs were covered in lead based paint
     D                              C
No Childproof lids no seatbelts in cars
      D                                       C
Rode bikes with no helmets and still here we are
               G
Still here we are

G                                Em
We got daddy''''s belt when we misbehaved
      G                                 Em
Had three T.V. channels you got up to change
     D                   C
No video games and no satellite
     D                                   C
All we had were friends and they were outside
          G
Playing Outside

Chorus:
          C    D    Em
It was a different life
               C    D   G
When we were boys and girls
            C    D    Em
Not just a different time
          C    D     G
It was a different world

G                                 Em
School always started the same everyday
      G                                      Em
The pledge of allegiance then someone would pray
      D                                 C
Not every kid made the team when they tried
    D                               C
We got disappointed but that was alright
                 G
We turned out alright

Chorus:
          C    D    Em
It was a different life
               C    D   G
When we were boys and girls
            C    D    Em
Not just a different time
          C    D     G
It was a different world

Bridge:

Bm             Em
   No bottled water
Bm                        Em
   We drank from a garden hose
 Bm              Em
   And every Sunday
 C
All the stores were closed

Chorus:
               D    Em
It was a different life
               C    D   G
When we were boys and girls

Not just a different time
          C    D     G
It was a different world

Not just a different time
