F Am G Em F Am G Dm


F                    Am
Saying that we're young
      G           Em
and dying to be old.
F                  Am
Crying out for freedom
     G                 Em
but never wanting to grow old.

F              Am            G
And I'm here, here I am, hello,
        Em                 F
in the midst of teenage angst
        Am                 G
trying hard to be so much more
                   Em
than we are, it's too far, too far to go.
F Am G          Em                    F     Am G Em7
     Oh how, oh how are we supposed to know.

       F            Am            G
We go far, driving fast, getting by
          Em              F
from the sadness in our lives,
        Am              G
we get high, time goes by occupied by
     Em                    F Am G Em
the sadness behind our eyes.

F Am G Em

   F        Am                   G                   Em
And why, oh why are we dropping one by one like flies.
            F             Am
We say we're young, we're strong
                      G
and fast but is that enough
            Em
to have to say goodbye

to all the close friends in our lives.

     F              Am           G
Is it time, is it a way to justify
         Em             F Am
and dying before twenty.
      G               Em
Is it time to say goodbye
              F          Am G Em7
to all your best friends.

      F             Am            G
We go far, driving fast, getting by
          Em              F
from the sadness in our lives,
        Am             G
we get high, time goes by occupied by
     Em                     F Am G Em7
the sadness behind our eyes.

          F                Am
And we're fine, yes we're fine,
          G          Em
we'll get high and go for a ride,
       F           Am             G
it's okay, we are young we can't die,
     Em                   F
the smoke to each others hi-i-igh.
Am                G  Em
 The time we get by.

         F          Am          G
And we'll drink our sorrows away,
           Em                 F            Am
so we can feel even worse the following day.
    G               Em
So let's lose control,

'cause it's all just one big joke.

F Am
   Oh, oh, oh

G               Em               F
It's all for fun, it's all a joke,
               Am
that's all we care about
              G
'cause we're young,
    Em              F
we only want our fun.
       Am              G       Em
No consequences, no invincible.
     F                  Am           G          Em
It's fun, it's all for fun until somebody's gone.

           F           Am           G Em
And we'll drown our sorrows tonight.
             F
And if this idea meant
   Am
if we stay the same
         G             Em
we waste away, we waste away.

         F                Am
And we'll say it's because
            G     Dm        F
we were young and stupid.
