Key: C

Intro:

C  Am7  F  G


Verse 1:
C                        Am7
Cut the engine, kill the headlights seven houses down
F                              G
My chest was pounding so hard, I still almost hear the sound
C                       Am7
We were deathcab making plans there on the dead-end street
F                  G
I remember feeling so much, I could barely breathe

Pre-Chorus:
C                Am7
We were perfect, we were magic
F                 G
We were lightning when we had it


Chorus:
F                       Am7                  C
I wish we bottled it up so we could feel it again
                           G
Now whеn I think about us, all I can see is the end
F                           Am7                       G
We didn't know what it was, how could wе know what to do?
                                        C      Am7  F  G
Why is young love, young love wasted on youth?


Verse 2:
C                         Am7
What if that summer never was? What if you and me
F                             G
Lost it to someone else? What if we met at twenty-three?
C                             Am7
Would we have made it last if we knew how bad heartbreak hurts?
F                        G
What if the best we ever had happened to be the first?


Chorus:
F                       Am7                  C
I wish we bottled it up so we could feel it again
                           G
Now whеn I think about us, all I can see is the end
F                           Am7                       G
We didn't know what it was, how could wе know what to do?
                                        F      Am7
Why is young love, young love wasted on youth?


Post-Chorus:
          C     G
Wasted on youth


Bridge:
          F                   G
I wanna believe that we were alive
                Am                         G  Fmaj7
We had the real thing, not just a dopamine high


Chorus:
                        Am7                  C
I wish we bottled it up so we could feel it again
                           G
Now whеn I think about us, all I can see is the end
F                           Am7                       G
We didn't know what it was, how could wе know what to do?
                                        F
Why is young love, young love wasted on youth?


Outro:
 Am             C
Woah, wasted on youth
 G  Fmaj7  Am  C  G
Oh
