Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][A][Bm][A][D][A][Bm][A]

[Verse 1]
[D]Saw [A]my reflection in the mir[Bm]ror,
didn't re[A]cognize [D]my [A]self[Bm][A]
[D]I f[A]elt more distant and more useles[Bm]s
than the [A]dust upon [D]the shelf[A][Bm][A]
[D]I t[A]ried to fix it but I o[Bm]nly end[A]ed up
hurting someone [D]else[A][Bm][A]
[D]Oh lov[A]er can you hear me,
I'm [Bm]so scared and I ne[A]ed a little he[D]lp[A][Bm][A]

[Verse 2]
[G]I've built so many bridges,
[A]then I sat and watched them burn
[G]I had so many chances,
[A]never took the time to learn
[G]If I could change the past,
go [A]back erase what I had done
[G]I'd redo everything,
[A]youth is wasted on the [G]young
Yeah, you [A]gotta crawl

[Verse 3]
before
you [G]walk
Sometimes you [A]gotta scream
before you [G]talk
You can't take [A]back everything
you've [G]done
Youth is [A]wasted on the [D]young[G]
Youth is [A]wasted on [D]the
[A]young
[Bm][A][D][A][Bm][A]

[Verse 4]
[D]Even the[A] thought of me wit[Bm]hout you
sends a [A]shiver down my [D]spine[A][Bm][A]
[D]I'd[A] spend a lifetime on my [Bm]knees for just
[A]the chance to keep you [D]mine[A][Bm][A]

[Verse 5]
[G]And like a rocket I shot up [A]and
then I crashed and burned
[G]I put the pieces back to
[A]gether as the seasons turned
[G]If I could change the past,
go [A]back erase what I had [G]done
Redo most everything,
[A]youth is wasted on the [G]young
Yeah, you [A]gotta crawl

[Verse 6]
before
you [G]walk
Sometimes you [A]gotta scream
before you [G]talk
You can't take [A]back everything
you've [G]done
Youth is [A]wasted on the [G]young
Youth is [A]wasted on the [Bm]young

[Verse 7]
[D]Wasted on the [G]young
[A]Youth is wasted on [G]the [A]young[G]
[A]Wasted on [D]the[G] young

[Verse 8]
Yeah, you gotta [A]crawl before
you [G]walk
Sometimes you gotta [A]scream
before you [D]talk[G]
You can't take [A]back everything
you've [D]done[G]
Youth is [A]wasted [D]on the [A]young
Youth [Bm]is wasted [A]on [D]the[A] yo[Bm]ung[A]
