Intro:
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

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
