Intro
B F# E F#
[Verse]
B F# E F# B F# E F#
Saw my reflection in the mirror, didn't recognize myself
B F# E F# B F# E F#
I felt more distant and more useless than the dust upon the shelf
B F# E F# B F# E F#
I tried to fix it but I only ended up hurting someone else
B F# E F# B F# E F#
Oh lover can you hear me, I'm so scared and I need a little help
[Pre Chorus]
E F#
I've built so many bridges, then I sat and watched them burn
E F#
I had so many chances, never took the time to learn
E F#
If I could change the past, go back erase what I had done
E F# E
I'd redo everything, youth is wasted on the young
[Chorus]
E F#
Yeah, you gotta crawl before you walk
E F#
Sometimes you gotta scream before you talk
E F#
You can't take back everything you've done
E F#
Youth is wasted on the young
E F# B F# E F# B F# E F#
Youth is wasted on... the young
[Verse]
B F# E F# B F# E F#
Even the thought of me without you sends a shiver down my spine
B F# E F# B F# E F#
I'd spend a lifetime on my knees for just the chance to keep you mine
[Pre Chorus]
E F#
And like a rocket I shot up and then I crashed and burned
E F#
I put the pieces back together as the seasons turned
E F#
If I could change the past, go back erase what I had done
E F# E
Redo most everything, youth is wasted on the young
[Chorus]
E F#
Yeah, you gotta crawl before you walk
E F#
Sometimes you gotta scream before you talk
E F#
You can't take back everything you've done
E F#
Youth is wasted on the young
E F# E
Youth is wasted on the young
[Bridge]
F# E
Wasted on the young
F# E F# E
Youth is wasted on the... y o u n g
F# E
Wasted on the young
[Chorus]
E F#
Yeah, you gotta crawl before you walk
E F#
Sometimes you gotta scream before you talk
E F#
You can't take back everything you've done
E F# B F# E F# B F# E F#
Youth is wasted on... the young
