The Crookes – Youth chords

Youth by The Crookes.

Standard tuning, no capo. Enjoy.

E                           AbmWith split lips, oh a smile can be hard.
E                                 A    Dirt, blood, grit, a catalogue of youthful scars.
            E                    AbmThey made it clear from the very start,
     E                           AThat pain lies beyond the cries of damned young hearts.

        B         Dbm                     F#m                     E         B Does it show in my sunken eyes that these concrete skies move too slow?
E                            AbmTarmaced seas; a breeze from lonely nights.
E                                      ABlood drips downs my knees...I'm sick of worthless fights.
        B             Dbm               F#mDoes it show in my sullied smile that it's not my style?
     E              BTime slows, let me go.

    E                 AbmBut I just let things slide,
       DbmIn the glow of pale lights,
       AAs our laughter splits the night.
   E                  AbmIn time, I'll grow to find,
     DbmThat all we'll ever have,
               AAre blissful moments quickly passed.
         F#mIt's obscene,
           B              EThey're so few and far between.

E                      AbmI'll take solitude and I'll take calm.
E                                 AAll my hopes were chewed and spat out (with charm).

         B           DbmFaith entwined all my deepest fears,
     F#mAnd my strange ideas,
               EYouth might be kind.

    E                 AbmBut I just let things slide,
       DbmIn the glow of pale lights,
       AAs our laughter splits the night.
   E                  AbmIn time, I'll grow to find,
     DbmThat all we'll ever have,
               AAre blissful moments quickly passed.
         F#mIt's obscene,
           B              EThey're so few and far between.
