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