Chords with lyrics
(G-D-Em-C) x2
(G+G) Eighteen was a (D MajorD) rocket ride
(E minorEm) I lit the fuse and I (C majorC) held on tight
(G+G) Every day was a (D MajorD) Friday night
And (E minorEm) I got the scars to (C majorC) prove it
(G+G) It all blew up at (D MajorD) 25
(E minorEm) Saw those telephone poles (C majorC) flying by
And (G+G) I don't remember (D MajorD) much that night
I'm just (C majorC) lucky I (C/BC/B) got (C majorC) through it
(Chorus)
And (G+G) I let it (D MajorD) run like an open vein
(A minorAm) Loved the pleasure and (C majorC) cursed the pain
(G+G) Oh (D MajorD) foolish things I've (C majorC) done (C/B-C)
I'm too old now to die young
G-D-Em-C
(G+G) Woke up alone at (D MajorD) 35
(E minorEm) Just across town from (C majorC) my ex-wife
I (G+G) get my two kids every (D MajorD) Friday night
And I (E minorEm) work all week to do it (C majorC)
Their (G+G) momma and me couldn't (D MajorD) work it out
Oh but (E minorEm) that don't seem to (C majorC) matter now
(G+G) They're all that I (D MajorD) care about
And I (C majorC) got their (C/BC/B) love (C majorC) to prove it
Chorus
(G-Em-D) x3 (C majorC)
And (G+G) I let it (D MajorD) run like an open vein
(A minorAm) Loved the pleasure and (C majorC) cursed the pain
(G+G) Oh (D/F#D/F#) foolish things I've (C majorC) done (C/B-C)
And (G+G) I never (D MajorD) thought I'd make it here
(A minorAm) Wish I could live another (C majorC) 100 years
(G+G) Oh (E minorEm) foolish things I've (C majorC) done (C/B-C)
I'm too old now to die young (G-D-Em)
I'm (C majorC) too old now to die young (G-D-Em)
I'm (C majorC) too old (C/BC/B) now to (C majorC) die young (G+G)
