Chords with lyrics

Youth by The Crookes.

Standard tuning, no capo. Enjoy.

E MajorE              AbmAbm
With split lips, oh a smile can be hard.
E MajorE                 A augmentedA
Dirt, blood, grit, a catalogue of youthful scars.
      E MajorE          AbmAbm
They made it clear from the very start,
   E MajorE              A augmentedA
That pain lies beyond the cries of damned young hearts.

BB     DbmDbm           F# minorF#m           E MajorE     BB
Does it show in my sunken eyes that these concrete skies move too slow?
E MajorE              AbmAbm
Tarmaced seas; a breeze from lonely nights.
E MajorE                   A augmentedA
Blood drips downs my knees...I'm sick of worthless fights.
    BB       DbmDbm        F# minorF#m
Does it show in my sullied smile that it's not my style?
   E MajorE       BB
Time slows, let me go.

E MajorE         AbmAbm
But I just let things slide,
    DbmDbm
In the glow of pale lights,
    A augmentedA
As our laughter splits the night.
  E MajorE         AbmAbm
In time, I'll grow to find,
   DbmDbm
That all we'll ever have,
        A augmentedA
Are blissful moments quickly passed.
     F# minorF#m
It's obscene,
      BB       E MajorE
They're so few and far between.

E MajorE           AbmAbm
I'll take solitude and I'll take calm.
E MajorE                 A augmentedA
All my hopes were chewed and spat out (with charm).

BB      DbmDbm
Faith entwined all my deepest fears,
   F# minorF#m
And my strange ideas,
        E MajorE
Youth might be kind.

E MajorE         AbmAbm
But I just let things slide,
    DbmDbm
In the glow of pale lights,
    A augmentedA
As our laughter splits the night.
  E MajorE         AbmAbm
In time, I'll grow to find,
   DbmDbm
That all we'll ever have,
        A augmentedA
Are blissful moments quickly passed.
     F# minorF#m
It's obscene,
      BB       E MajorE
They're so few and far between.
