Intro

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