Tom: Em
G B Em G/B
G B Em G/B
[Verse 1]
G B Em G/B
I am a man on the run
G B Em G/B
Running on two empty lungs
G B
Running from my own mind
Em G/B
And things I hide inside
G B Em G/B
Some call it sweet temptation
[Verse 2]
G B Em G/B
Sometimes I don’t trust myself
G B Em G/B
Cameras on old empty shelves
G B
I leave inside my brain
Em G/B
To make sure I stay sane
G B Em G/B
Good god, I think I need help
[Chorus]
G B
I know what everybody knows
Em C
Die young or you can grow old
G B Em C
Until they bury you six below
G B
Live long enough to tell your sons
Em C
Things you learned when you were young
G B Em C
So maybe I can have some self-control
[Verse 3]
G B Em G/B
But they say, “oh to be young"
G B Em G/B
Innocent of what’s to come
G B Em G/B
Oh, to be beautiful, each mistake excusable
G B Em G/B
Give into sweet temptation
[Verse 4]
G B Em G/B
So, tell me what do I do?
G B Em G/B
Am I just playing a fool?
G B Em G/B
That never learned to grow old
G B Em G/B
And still has no self-control
[Chorus]
G B
I know what everybody knows
Em C
Die young or you can grow old
G B Em C
Until they bury you six below
G B
Live long enough to tell your sons
Em C
Things you learned when you were young
G B Em C
So maybe I can have some self-control
Here we go
[Interlude]
G
(hold for 8 measures)
G B Em G/B
[Outro]
G B Em G/B
I know
G B Em G/B
I know
G B
Live long enough to tell your sons
Em C
Things you learned when you were young
G B Em C
So maybe I can have some self-control
G B Em G/B
G B Em G/B
G
(strum once for final chord)
