Ballad Of Youth chords by Richie Sambora

VERSE 1
E
Growing up today
        A
There's many mountains you must climb
 C
You're not the only one
      D
'cause everybody's on that line
E
Hey mister know it all
   A
What do you recommend
 C
You think you know the answers
      D
But the questions never end


CHORUS

 EM   D      G  D
Young hearts better hold on
C
Beyond the innocence
    D
Your youth is gone
  EM      D
So look in your mirror
      G    D
You got nothing to lose
C
Don't waste your time away
D              EM
Thinkin' 'bout yesterday's blues

RIFF


E
Born outta passion
    A
To a world gone cold
  C
Ya wear it on your shoulders
    D
It's a heavy, heavy load i know
E
Love and its emotions
    A
Come knocking at your door
 C
Young hearts will be broken
   D
And time's the only cure


CHORUS

EM   D      G  D
Young hearts better hold on
C
Beyond the innocence
    D
Your youth is gone
  EM      D
So look in your mirror
     G     D
You got nothing to lose
C
Don't waste your time away
D              EM
Thinkin' 'bout yesterday's blues

RIFF

MIDDLE 8

EM          C     D
Temptation makes us fall from grace
     C
But the angels were sinnerS
     D
And the sinners saints
EM              C    D
Forgive yourself cause we're all the same
C            D
Everybody rides on the karma train

CHORUS

EM   D
Young hearts
    G  D
Better hold on
C
Beyond the innocence
    D
Your youth is gone
 EM      D
Look in your mirror
    G       D
It'll tell you the truth
C
Don't waste your time away
    D
Don't waste your life away, no, no
EM   D
Live today
     G     D
There's no time to lose
C
Cause when tomorrow comes
   D          EM
It's all just yesterday's news
 D         EM
All just yesterday news
