A
life is timeless , days are long when you’re young
A
you used to fall in love with everyone
A
any guitar and any bass drum
D G E
life is a drink and you get drunk when you’re young

A
life is new and there’s things to be done
A
you can’t wait to be grown up
A
acceptance into the capital world
D G E
you pull on some weed and you pull on someone when you’re young

A E
but you find out life isn’t like that
A E
it’s so hard to comprehend
A E
why you set up your dreams to have them smashed in the end

D C#m
but you don’t mind you’ve got time on your side
Bm F#m
and they’re never gonna make you stand in line
D E
you’re just waiting for the right time

A F#
woaaahhh
A F#
woaaahhh

A
you’re fearless and brave – you can’t be stopped when you’re young
A
you swear you’re never ever gonna work for someone
A
no corporations for the new age sons
D G
tears of rage run down your face
E
but still you say “it’s fun”

A E
and you find out life isn’t like that
A E
it’s so hard to understand
A E
why the world is your oyster but your future’s a clam

D C#m
it’s got you in its grip before you’re born
Bm F#
it’s done with the use of a dice and a board
D E
hey let you think you’re king but you’re really a pawn

A F#
woaaahhh
A F#
woaaahhh

A
you’re fearless and brave – you can’t be stopped when you’re young
you used to fall in love with everyone
any guitar and any bass drum
