The Menzingers - Farewell Youth Note: Acoustic version from From Exile 🎸 Intro: G 🎸 Verse 1: G C G D PA Turnpike, northbound on a dark night G C G D Driving into Scranton for a difficult occasion Em G D When you first got your license, we were nowhere to be found Em G D I was just a little kid back then, but you let me hang around 🎸 Chorus: G Bm Em C But we're older now, farewell youth I'm afraid I hardly got to know you G D C I was always hanging out with the older kids G D Em C Always in a rush, but I was never sure from what G D C I was always hanging out with the older kids
G 🎸 Verse 2: G C G D The grief starts when bumping into friends turned acquaintances G C G D We stumble around the small talk We break the silence with the flask I brought D Em G D But once we were inseparable, we were the only punks in town D Em G D We spent every weekend raisin' hell in the basement of your parents house 🎸 Chorus: G D Em C but we're older now, farewell youth I'm afraid I hardly got to know you G D C I was always hanging out with the older kids G D Em C Always in a rush, but I was never sure from what G D C I was always hanging out with the older kids 🎸 Bridge: Am C In someone's apartment getting fucked up G Em To all our favorite records drinking the cheap stuff Am C We couldn't get enough of growing up C C G C Am I saw my childhood flash before me in the death of your closed eyes C G C D At your Irish wake, we celebrate by trying not to cry 🎸 Chorus: G Bm Em C Farewell youth I'm afraid I hardly got to know you G D C I was always hanging out with the older kids G D Em C Always in a rush, but I was never sure from what G D C I was always hanging out with the older kids 🎸 Outro: G Farewell youth, farewell youth
