[Intro]
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 Em
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 Em
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
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.
