Ballad Of Youth

(intro 3x) Em   C   D

E                              Am
Growing up today There's many mountains you must climb
C                               D
You're not the only one 'Cause everybody's on that line
E                            Am
Hey mister know it all What do you recommend
         C                              D
You think you know the answers But the questions never end

Em    D/F#            G    A
Young hearts, better hold on
C                           D
Beyond the innocence, Your youth is gone
   Em           D/F#           G            A
So look in your mirror You got nothing to lose
C                           D
Don't waste your time away Thinkin' 'bout yesterday's blues

(intro 2x) Em   C   D

E                          Am
Born outta passion To a world gone cold
         C                             D
You wear it on your shoulders It's a heavy, heavy load I know
E                            Am
Love and its emotions Come knocking at your door
   C                            D
Young hearts will be broken And time's the only cure

Em    D/F#            G    A
Young hearts, better hold on
C                           D
Beyond the innocence, Your youth is gone
   Em           D/F#           G            A
So look in your mirror You got nothing to lose
C                           D
Don't waste your time away Thinkin' 'bout yesterday's blues

(solo 2x) E   Am   C   D

Em                  C         D
Temptation makes us fall from grace
             C                       D
But the angels were sinners And the sinners, saints
Em                           C         D
Forgive yourself cause we're all the same
C                       D
Everybody rides on the karma train

Em    D/F#            G    A
Young hearts, better hold on
C                           D
Beyond the innocence, Your youth is gone
Em               D/F#         G            A
But Look in your mirror It'll tell you the truth
C                          D
Don't waste your time away Don't waste your life away, no, no
Em   D/F#           G           A
Live today, There's no time to lose
C                              D
Cause when tomorrow comes It's all just yesterday's news

( Em   C   D )

C     D             Em
All just yesterday news
