Intro:

A5
Blame it on the youth
       D5               A5
That’s all they’ll ever do
   D5                 A5              E5
So quick to point the finger back at you
 
 
Verse 1:
A5                            D5            A5
They’ll never understand this toxic teenage wasteland
    D5                 A5            E5
The road they walk the lonesome avenue
 
 
[Pre-Chourus]
        F#5               E5
Oh, you might just get it right
          F#5              E5        D5                 A5                   E5
And never have to question why every break will build until it’s broken through

Chorus:
      A5          E5  D5
Don’t blame it on the youth
                F#5               E5
And cover up everything that they do
                       A5                E5  D5
They’re too young to believe they can do any good
                    F#5
But let’s not be mistaken
                      E5                                  A5
Their hearts won’t be breaking ‘cause they’re better than you
 
 
Verse 2:
A5
Staring at the view
     D5                A5
That long eight-legged truth
     D5              A5                  E5
That crawls away and bites right back at you
A5
Sending up the flare
          D5            A5
Screaming we don’t even care
   D5             A5                E5
So hold onto each other while you can
 
 
[Pre-Chours]
        F#5               E5
Oh, you might just get it right
            F#5              E5
A song that doesn’t make you cry
      D5                 A5                   E5
But I swear it’s hanging there in front of you
       F#5             G#5   A5
(Don’t blink or you’re gonna miss it)
 
 
Chorus:
      A5          E5  D5
Don’t blame it on the youth
              F#5                 E5
And cover up everything that they do
                       A5                E5  D5
They’re too young to believe they can do any good
                    F#5
But let’s not be mistaken
                      E5
Their hearts won’t be breaking ‘cause they’re better than you
 
A5 E5 F#5 D5 F#5 E5 D5

              F#5                 E5
And cover up everything that they do
                       A5                    D5
They’re too young to believe they can do any good
                    F#5
But let’s not be mistaken
                      E5
Their hearts won’t be breaking ‘cause they’re better than you
 
 
Chorus:
      A5          E5  D5
Don’t blame it on the youth
              F#5                 E5
And cover up everything that they do
                       A5                E5  D5
They’re too young to believe they can do any good
                    F#5
But let’s not be mistaken
                      E5
Their hearts won’t be breaking ‘cause they’re better than you
