Youth//Seventeen
[Intro]
E F#m Aadd9
[Verse 1]
E F#m A
I got these beliefs that I think you wanna break
E F#m A
Got something here to lose that I think you wanna take from me
E F#m A
You say that I’m asleep but I wanna be awake
E F#m A
Got something here to lose that I know you wanna take
[Pre-Chorus]
E F#m
And when the lights start flashing like a photobooth
A
And the stars explode then we’ll be fireproof
[Chorus]
E F#m7
I went out looking for love when I was seventeen
A
Maybe a little too young but it was real to me
E F#m
And in the heat of the night, saw things I’d never seen
Aadd9
Oh oh oh oh oh seventeen
[Verse 2]
E
(What if) what if we start to drive
F#m
(What if) what if we close our eyes
A
What if we’re speeding through red lights into paradise
E
Cos we’ve no time for getting old
F#m
Mortal bodies, timeless souls
A
Cross your fingers here we go oh oh oh
[Pre-Chorus]
E F#m
And he said age is just a number, just like any other
A
We could do whatever, do whatever you want
E F#m
Boy becomes a man now, can’t tell a man to slow down
A5
He’ll just do whatever
[Chorus]
E
My youth is yours
Eadd9 F#m Aadug7
Eadd9 F#m Aaug7
My youth is yours
[Bridge]
E F#m
My youth, my youth is yours
A
Tripping on skies sipping waterfalls
E F#m
My youth, my youth is yours
A
Run away now and forever more
E F#m
My youth, my youth is yours
The truth so loud you can’t ignore
A A add2
My youth, my youth, my youth
My youth is yours
[Chorus]
Esus2 F#m
I went out looking for love when I was seventeen
Aadd9
Maybe a little too young but it was real to me
E F#m7
And in the heat of the night, saw things I’d never seen
Aadd9
Oh oh oh oh oh seventeen
E F#m7
I went out looking for love when I was seventeen
Aadd9
Maybe a little too young but it was real to me
Eadd9 F#m
And in the heat of the night, saw things I’d never seen
A
Oh oh oh oh oh seventeen
[Outro]
Eadd9 F#m Aadd9
