Intro: G Em C 

Verse: 

G 
You find yourself inside a normal life 
Em                     C 
Cigarettes just trying to get by 
G 
What's all this talk of dying young? 
Em                           C 
Gas Station parking lots and plastic guns 

Bridge:
  
G 
you tell me, ’youth’s fucked up, the kids are too, 
       Em                            C 
people only grow up when they’ve got nothing better to do.’ 
G 
nobody can keep up, & you won’t slow down, 
    Em                            C 
the circle gets square ’cause the world just ain’t coming around. 


G 
but i’ve got a twenty dollar bill that says 
Em                          C 
you couldn’t scare me if you wanted to. 
G 
we could die in this moment & live for the thrill, 
Em 
we’ll be the outsiders, 
C 
we’ll bring it back to life.
