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

Youth is wasted on the... y o u n g
F D#
Wasted on the young
[Chorus]

Sometimes you gotta scream before you talk

You can't take back everything you've done

Youth is wasted on... the young
