When You Were Young

C               D     Em
You sit there in your heart-ache
 G         C9
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
 C         D     Em
To save you from your old ways
 G
You play forgiveness
C9
Watch it now Here he comes

  C               D  Em
He doesnt look a thing like Je-sus
        G
But he talks like a gentleman
 C9
Like you imagined
  C    D    Em
When you were young

( G        C9   )

 C
Can we climb this mountain
 D    Em
I dont know
 G              C9
Higher now than ever before
 C               D       Em
I know we can make it if we take it slow
 G
Let's take it easy
 C9
Easy now,  watch it go

 C                 D    Em
We're burning down the highway sky- line
     G
On the back of a hurricane
 C9
That started turning
       C  D    Em   G C9
When you were   young
       C  D    Em   G C9
When you were   young

    C
And sometimes you close your eyes
     D    G             C9
And see the place where you used to live
       C  D     Em    G C9
When you were    young

 

         Am
They say the devil's water It ain't so sweet
 C
You dont have to drink right now
             Em
But you can dip your feet
               D
Every once in a little while
