Stephin Merritt – When Youre Young And In Love chords

 [Verse 1]
        C                        GYou can teeter on the brink of a precipice
Am                 EmOv'r an infinitely deep abyss
F                    CAnd somehow not even notice this
            C            GWhen you're young and in love
        C                   GYou can grow a little older every day
Am                       EmWatch your stupid life wasting away
F                     CSomehow everything is a-ok
            C            GWhen you're young and in love


[Bridge]
                FBut when you're not
             CThe poisoned fangs of time
  GBecome quite plain
            FWhen you're not
          CIt almost seems a crime
Dm          GNot to go insane


[Verse 2]
        C                              GYou can whirl and twirl on the world's carousel
Am                         EmHurdle round and round and feel quite well
F                  CNever even knowing you're in hell
            C            GWhen you're young and in love
        C                          GYou can know the world has nothing left to give
Am                      EmBe condemned to die, content to live
F                   CAnd be happy if and only if
       C            GYou're young and in love
