Only The Young chords by Taylor Swift

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
    C
It keeps me awake

The look on your face
     G
The moment you heard the news
          Dm
You’re screaming inside

And frozen in time
     F
You did all that you could do
     C
The game was rigged, the ref got tricked
     G
The wrong ones think they’re right
             Dm                   F
You were outnumbered — this time

Chorus:
              C
But only the young
           G
Only the young
           Dm
Only the young
           F           C    G
Only the young can run
Dm             F
Can run, so run
C
And run, and run


Verse 2:
     C
So every day now

You brace for the sound
        G
You’ve only heard on TV
     Dm
You go to class, scared
                     F
Wondering where the best hiding spot would be
         C
And the big bad man and his big bad clan
         G
Their hands are stained with red
          Dm                 F
Oh, how quickly, they forget


Pre-Chorus:
                   F
They aren’t gonna help us
                          Am
Too busy helping themselves
                    F
They aren’t gonna change this
                      Am
We gotta do it ourselves
                       F
They think that it’s over
                 Dm
But it’s just begun


Chorus:
                    F
Only one thing can save us
           C
Only the young (Only the young)
           G
Only the young (Only the young)
           Dm
Only the young (Only the young)
           F
Only the young


Post-Chorus:
           C
Only the young (Only the young)
           G
Only the young (Only the young)
           Dm
Only the young (Only the young)
           F
Only the young
           C
Only the young (Only the young)

(Don’t say you’re too tired to fight

It’s just a matter of time

Up there’s the finish line)
           G
Only the young (Only the young)
           Dm
Only the young (Only the young)
           F
Only the young
       C
Can run

C
Don’t say you’re too tired to fight
G
It’s just a matter of time (Can run)
Dm
Up there’s the finish line
F
So run, and run, and run
C
Don’t say you’re too tired to fight
G
It’s just a matter of time (So run)
Dm
Up there’s the finish line
F
And run, and run, and run
