Youth chords by The Crookes

Youth by The Crookes.

Standard tuning, no capo. Enjoy.

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

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

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

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

B           Dbm
Faith entwined all my deepest fears,
     F#m
And my strange ideas,
               E
Youth might be kind.

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