G F
oh , to live on sugar mountain ,
G F
with the barkers and the colored balloons
G F
you can’t be twenty on sugar mountain ,
Dm G
though you’re thinking that you’re leaving there too soon;
Dm G
you’re leaving there too soon .

G F
it’s so noisy at the fair ,
G
but all your friends are there
F
and the candy floss you had ,
G
and your mother and your dad .

G F
oh , to live on sugar mountain ,
G F
with the barkers and the colored balloons
G F
you can’t be twenty on sugar mountain ,
Dm G
though you’re thinking that you’re leaving there too soon;
Dm G
you’re leaving there too soon .

D C G F D Dsus4 C G

G F
there’s a girl just down the aisle ,
G
oh , to turn and see her smile .
F
you can hear the words she wrote ,
G
as you read the hidden note .

G F
oh , to live on sugar mountain
G F
with the barkers and the colored balloons

you can’t be twenty on sugar mountain ,

though you’re thinking that you’re leaving there too soon;

you’re leaving there too soon .

G F
now you’re underneath the stairs ,
G
and you’re giving back some glares
F
to the people who you met ,
G
and it’s your first cigarette .

oh , to live on sugar mountain ,
G F
with the barkers and the colored balloons

you’re leaving there too soon .

G F
now you say you’re leaving home ,
G
’cause you want to be alone .
F
ain’t it funny how you feel ,
G
when you’re finding out it’s real?

G F
oh , to live on sugar mountain ,

you’re leaving there too soon .
