Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]You [Am]can teet[C]er on the
brink of a [G]precipice
[Am]Over an infinitely [Em]deep abyss
An[F]d somehow not e[C]ven n[F]o t[C]ice this
When you're young and in [G]love
You can [C]grow a little older [G]every day
[Am]Watch your stupid life wasting [Em]away
Some[F]how everything is [C]a -okay
when you're young and in [G]love
But when you're [F]not,
the poisoned [C]fangs of time [G]become quite plain
When you're [F]not,
it almost [C]seems a crime [Dm]not to go insane
[G]You can whi[C]rl and twirl on
the world's [G]carousel
[Am]Hurdle round and round
and [Em]feel quite well
Nev[F]er even [C]knowing [F]you're [C]in hell
when you're young and in [G]love
You can [C]know the world
has nothing [G]left to give
[Am]Be condemned to die, content t[Em]o live
An[F]d be happy i[C]f a[F]nd o[C]nly if you're young
and in [G]love[C][G][Am][Em][F][C]
[F][C]
[G]But when you're [F]not the poison whose
[C]fangs of time [G]become quite plain
When you're [F]not,
it almost [C]seems a crime [Dm]not to go in[G]sane
You can [C]teeter on the brink of a [G]precipice
[Am]over an infinitely deep[Em]er base
[F]And somehow not [C]even [F]no [C]tice this
when you're young an[G]d i[C]n l[G]ove
You can [C]grow a little older [G]every day
To [Am]watch your stupid life [Em]wasted away
[F]So now everything is
[C]A -OK
When you're young an[G]d i[C]n l[G]ove
