Verse 
         G                             D 
What if, what if we run away? What if, what if we left today? 
        Em                          C 
What if we said goodbye to safe and sound? 
         G                                    D 
What if, what if we're hard to find? What if, what if we lost our minds? 
        Em                                    C 
What if we're looking far beind, in the never found? 

Pre-Chorus 
             G                            D 
And when the lights start flashing like a photobooth 
        Em                       C 
And the stars exploding we'll be fireproof 

 
   G                         D 
My youth, my youth is yours, tripping on skies sipping waterfalls 
   Em                        C 
My youth, my youth is yours, run away now and forever more 
   G                             D 
My youth, my youth is yours, the truth's so loud you can't ignore 
   Em                  C 
My youth, my youth, my youth, my youth is yours

Bridge 
G 
And I don’t wanna grow up 
  D 
I wanna stay young till I’ve had enough 
    Em 
I’m keeping my youth till my youth grows up 
       C 
But if you know me you know that’s a bluff 
       G 
We got people tryna live their whole life from the safest route 
D 
Trying to live their life just like everyone else 
Em 
But if your God gave you a gift then you can 
  C                                                           G 
Expect for Him to give you a chance to make Him more profound with it 

I’m not saying life will be easy, no 
D 
I’m just saying that life will come and go 
Em 
So you can expect for me to take this life and 
C 
Do with it what I feel that my God has given me to show 
G                                    D 
So ignore the risk and take the fall 
                                             Em 
And if it’s meant to be it will be worth it all 
                                            C 
Don’t be immune to your blessings but trust in them 

And trust in God and God will bless you 


G                      D 
Oh, my youth is yours, tripping on skies sipping waterfalls 
   Em                        C 
My youth, my youth is yours, run away now and forever more 
   G                             D 
My youth, my youth is yours, the truth's so loud you can't ignore 
   Em                  C 
My youth, my youth, my youth, my youth is yours
