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