When you’re young
Am - C - F - Am - G
C Am
1. So far away from knowing where I’m going,
F Am - G
I’m trying hard to find out who
I am,
C Am
they
all see that I don’t know what I’m doing,
F Am
- G
I say they don’t
hardly understand.
Dm G Em A
Why can’t they remember what
I’ll never forget,
Dm G Am
how
these dreams can come undone, when you’re young.
Am C
F G
You give what you give ‘cause they make you,
Am C
F G
trapped
inside a place that won’t take you.
Am C F G
They want you to be what they
make you,
Am F Am
it’s already over and done.
C Am
2. When you’re young, everything seems perfect,
F
Am - G
everything’s
okay,
C Am
it
will all get better now,
F Am - G
at
least that’s what they say.
Dm G
But I don’t see it coming.
+ CHORUS
Dm Am
+ When you’re young, days
really just seem longer,
C F
they
say it’s better this way,
Dm G
I hope one day I’m stronger
than I feel,
Am
and I
hope it feels different than today.
