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

Youth is wasted on the... y o u n g
D C
Wasted on the young
[Chorus]
C D
Yeah, you gotta crawl before you walk
C D
Sometimes you gotta scream before you talk
C D
You can't take back everything you've done

Youth is wasted on... the young
