Intro:
D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
When I was young there was fire in my lungs,
B minorBm A augmentedA G*
and I just wanted someone to listen
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
Some ears to ignite with my pen and my tongue,
B minorBm A augmentedA G*
Well I knew it was all just a wish?
B minorBm A augmentedA G* ?
But that don?t mean it couldn?t exist
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
Just seventeen, yeah I gave up my gun
B minorBm A augmentedA G*
to play my guitar in the trenches
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
So I sang in the face of a man-eating sun,
B minorBm A augmentedA G*
That Florida heat is a bitch,
B minorBm A augmentedA D MajorD
But I wouldn?t trade nothing for it
[Intro]
G* D MajorD
When I was young?
G* D MajorD
When I was young?
A augmentedA G+G D MajorD
I got myself broke and beat down, but stood up
A augmentedA G+G D MajorD
left too many words on the tip of my tongue,
A augmentedA G+G B minorBm
But oh, I was singing at the top of my lungs,
G* ?
every night.
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
Spinning wheels turning, I fell into love,
B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
swallowed up in a sea of forgiveness,
D MajorD
I?ve got a crooked killer heart,
G+G D MajorD
I?ve got, bastard blood,
B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
But my God, oh my God, I forget,
B minorBm A augmentedA D MajorD
And you keep paying for these second-hand sins
G+G D MajorD
When I was young?
G+G D MajorD
When I was young?
A augmentedA G+G D MajorD
I was hiding in corners to stay out of sight
A augmentedA G+G D MajorD
Giving my best but still falling behind
A augmentedA D MajorD B minorBm A augmentedA
G+G
But I was reborn in the dust and the pines, oh my?
D MajorD
When I was young
B minorBm G+G D MajorD
Oh and now I?m, getting pushed and pulled apart
B minorBm G+G D MajorD
And I don?t know, where it ends or where it starts
E minorEm G+G
And all of those neon lights, outside of my window
E minorEm G+G
Tell me it?s not eleven yet, it?s getting close, though
B minorBm A augmentedA G+G Gadd9Gadd9
And now I just don?t know what? to do
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
Then I said, ?Matt, you just gotta get back
B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
to those nights when you sat on the cause-way?
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
All you had was six strings and a heart that beat
B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
and you knew that it had to mean something,
B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
Yeah, you knew that it had to mean something,
B minorBm A augmentedA G+G (A augmentedA)
?I just knew it was better than nothing,
G+G D MajorD
When I was young?
G+G D MajorD
When I was young?
A augmentedA G+G D MajorD
We played rock and roll music on broken guitars,
A augmentedA G+G D MajorD
Spent the whole night laying out under stars,
A augmentedA G+G D MajorD
She told me she loved me with her hand on her heart,
A augmentedA G+G D MajorD
Now I?m turning these pages and holding on tight
A augmentedA G+G D MajorD
Living this life like I?m never gonna die,
A augmentedA G+G D MajorD
Living this life like I?m never gonna die,
A augmentedA G+G B minorBm A augmentedA
G+G Gadd9Gadd9
Living this life like I?m never gonna die, die, die?
D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2 D MajorD
When I was young
