When You're Young And In Love chords by Stephin Merritt

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:

    C majorC            G+G
You can teeter on the brink of a precipice

A minorAm         E minorEm
Ov'r an infinitely deep abyss

FF          C majorC
And somehow not even notice this

      C majorC      G+G
When you're young and in love

    C majorC          G+G
You can grow a little older every day

A minorAm            E minorEm
Watch your stupid life wasting away

FF           C majorC
Somehow everything is a-ok

      C majorC      G+G
When you're young and in love

Bridge:

        FF
But when you're not

       C majorC
The poisoned fangs of time

 G+G
Become quite plain

      FF
When you're not

     C majorC
It almost seems a crime

DmDm     G+G
Not to go insane


Verse 2:

    C majorC               G+G
You can whirl and twirl on the world's carousel

A minorAm             E minorEm
Hurdle round and round and feel quite well

FF         C majorC
Never even knowing you're in hell

      C majorC      G+G
When you're young and in love

    C majorC             G+G
You can know the world has nothing left to give

A minorAm           E minorEm
Be condemned to die, content to live

FF          C majorC
And be happy if and only if

    C majorC      G+G
You're young and in love
