Verse
G
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.
D
And it freaked me out.
D
I didn’t know what to do. It was like TNT. I was in my brother’s room.
[Verse 2]
G
And another time, different friend, different house,
different song, different band, he had real long hair,
D
pulled the record out, put the needle on oh yeah and freaked me out.
D
I’d never done drugs. I barely brushed my teeth.
D
I was on the floor all glassy eyed fucked up beyond belief.
[Chorus]
G
Who'da known, who'da known, who'da known, who'da known
C G
That it would be rock and roll
D
That would terrify me
D
That would haunt me so completely
[Verse 3]
G
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
D
and it freaked me out, what he said about love. You were right there
D
I don’t know where I was.
[Verse 4]
G
How much do I owe my uncle? I expect it’s more than I can pay.
G D
He gave us a tascam, some maxells, a shure 57 and a stereo delay and it freaked me out.
D
Yeah the hum and the hiss. We were only 16, thought we were the shit
[Chorus]
G
Who'da known, who'da known, who'da known, who'da known
C G
That it would be rock and roll
D
That would terrify me
D
That would haunt me so completely
