[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]

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

Youth is wasted on... the young
