[Verse 1]
C
It keeps me awake
The look on your face
G
The moment you heard the news
Dm
You’re screaming inside
And frozen in time
F
You did all that you could do
C
The game was rigged the ref got tricked
G
The wrong ones think they’re right
Dm F
You were outnumbered — this time
[Chorus]
C
But only the young
G
Only the young
Dm
Only the young
F C G
Only the young can run
Dm F
Can run so run
C
And run and run
[Verse 2]
C
So every day now
You brace for the sound
G
You’ve only heard on TV
Dm
You go to class scared
F
Wondering where the best hiding spot would be
C
And the big bad man and his big bad clan
G
Their hands are stained with red
Dm F
Oh how quickly they forget
[Pre-Chorus]
F
They aren’t gonna help us
Am
Too busy helping themselves
F
They aren’t gonna change this
Am
We gotta do it ourselves
F
They think that it’s over
Dm
But it’s just begun
[Chorus]
F
Only one thing can save us
C
Only the young Only the young
G
Only the young Only the young
Dm
Only the young Only the young
F
Only the young
[Post-Chorus]
C
Only the young Only the young
G
Only the young Only the young
Dm
Only the young Only the young
F
Only the young
C
Only the young Only the young
Don’t say you’re too tired to fight
It’s just a matter of time
Up there’s the finish line
G
Only the young Only the young
Dm
Only the young Only the young
F
Only the young
C
Can run
C
Don’t say you’re too tired to fight
G
It’s just a matter of time Can run
Dm
Up there’s the finish line
F
So run and run and run
C
Don’t say you’re too tired to fight
G
It’s just a matter of time So run
Dm
Up there’s the finish line
F
And run and run and run
[Intro]
C
Only the young
G
Only the young
Dm F
Only the young
