Youth Is Wasted On The Young

D   A   G   A

[Verse]
D      A                 G          A               D        A   G   A
Saw my reflection in the mirror, didn't recognize myself
D       A                    G            A                 D        A   G   A
I felt more distant and more useless than the dust upon the shelf
D        A              G            A                D       A   G   A
I tried to fix it but I only ended up hurting someone else
D      A                  G                 A               D       A   G   A
Oh lover can you hear me, I'm so scared and I need a little help

[Pre Chorus]
G                           A
I've built so many bridges, then I sat and watched them burn
G                      A
I had so many chances, never took the time to learn
G                              A
If I could change the past, go back erase what I had done
G                    A                      G
I'd redo everything, youth is wasted on the young

[Chorus]
G               A
Yeah, you gotta crawl before you walk
G                   A
Sometimes you gotta scream before you talk
G              A
You can't take back everything you've done
G         A
Youth is wasted on the young
G         A           D    A   G   A   D   A   G   A
Youth is wasted on... the young

[Verse]
D       A                  G             A                D       A   G   A
Even the thought of me without you sends a shiver down my spine
D            A             G              A                      D       A   G   A
I'd spend a lifetime on my knees for just the chance to keep you mine

[Pre Chorus]
G                        A
And like a rocket I shot up and then I crashed and burned
G                        A
I put the pieces back together as the seasons turned
G                              A
If I could change the past, go back erase what I had done
G                     A                       G
Redo most everything, youth is wasted on the young

[Chorus]
G               A
Yeah, you gotta crawl before you walk
G                   A
Sometimes you gotta scream before you talk
G              A
You can't take back everything you've done
G         A
Youth is wasted on the young
G         A                   G
Youth is wasted on the young

[Bridge]
 A             G
Wasted on the young
A                       G    A   G
Youth is wasted on the... y o u n g
A              G
Wasted on the young

[Chorus]
G               A
Yeah, you gotta crawl before you walk
G                   A
Sometimes you gotta scream before you talk
G              A
You can't take back everything you've done
G         A           D    A    G   A   D   A   G   A
Youth is wasted on... the young
