[00:01.242][Verse 1]
[00:18.367]We were kids, we played with matches
[00:25.369]While we grew up we started bands
[00:32.487]Yeah we skipped school but played the dances
[00:39.830]And well, we started making fans
[00:46.934]We blew off college, toured the country in a van
[00:52.302][Pre-Chorus]
[00:53.270]And sometimes at the grocery store
[00:56.908]The people say they knew me back when
[01:00.332][Chorus]
[01:00.529]We were teenage rockstars
[01:07.715]Made our hometown proud
[01:14.428]When we were teenage rockstars
[01:22.859]We taught ourselves to play
[01:27.205]And we'd play it loud
[01:30.815][Verse 2]
[01:33.490]We signed a deal and made some records
[01:40.765]Sold out shows and married young
[01:47.824]The money came, we started fading
[01:54.891]We partied hard and had our fun
[02:02.224]We blew off deadlines and forgot to call our friends
[02:07.752][Pre-Chorus]
[02:08.517]And sometimes at the shopping mall
[02:11.929]The people say they knew me back when
[02:15.351][Chorus]
[02:15.770]We were teenage rockstars
[02:22.936]Made our fathers proud
[02:29.648]When we were teenage rockstars
[02:38.004]We taught ourselves to play
[02:42.302]And we'd play it loud
[02:48.833][Bridge]
[03:10.262]And now I sit at this piano
[03:17.399]I watch my daughter in the yard
[03:24.510]I think about those days in high school
[03:31.735]My best friend playing his guitar
[03:38.195]In my parent's living room
[03:41.665]Where all of this began
[03:44.433][Pre-Chorus]
[03:45.244]And when I leave the shows these days
[03:48.655]The people say they knew me back when
[03:52.389][Chorus]
[03:52.625]We were teenage rockstars
[03:59.275]So young and so strung out
[04:06.338]When we were teenage rockstars
[04:14.018]We taught ourselves to play
[04:17.438]We took the stage
[04:19.356]And we played loud
[04:24.361]
