We Are Young

Tom: C

C
Give me a second I

I need to get my story straight
    Am
My friends are in the bathroom

getting higher than the empire state
     F
my lover she's waiting for me

just across the bar
              G
My seats been taken by some sunglasses

asking 'bout a scar
      C
and I know I gave it to you months ago
Am
I know you're trying to forget
        F
but between the drinks and subtle things

the holes in my apologies
     G
you know I'm trying hard to take it back
            Am             G
So if by the time the bar closes
       G         C        F
and you feel like falling down
    F          G     C
I'll carry you home tonight

C
Tonight
        Am
We are young
                           F
So let's set the world on fire

We can burn brighter
        G
than the sun

C
Tonight
        Am
We are young
                           F
So let's set the world on fire

We can burn brighter
        G
than the sun

C
Now I know that I'm not

all that you got
Am
I guess that I

I just thought maybe we could find a ways to fall apart
F
But are friends in back

So let's raise a cup
G
Cause I found someone to carry me home

C
Tonight
        Am
We are young
                           F
So let's set the world on fire

We can burn brighter
        G
than the sun

C
Tonight

        Am
We are young
                           F
So let's set the world on fire

We can burn brighter
        G
than the sun

C               F
Carry me home tonight
C                        G
Just carry me home tonight
C                F
Carry me home tonight
C                        G
Just carry me home tonight

C
The moon is on my side
F
I have no reason to run
C                       G                C
So will someone come and carry me home tonight
                     F
The angels never arrived
                   C
but I can hear the choir
                          G
so will someone come and carry me home

C
Tonight
        Am
We are young
                           F
So let's set the world on fire

We can burn brighter
        G
than the sun

than the sun

            Am             G
