Intro:
us4
When I was young there was fire in my lungs,
and I just wanted someone to listen
Some ears to ignite with my pen and my tongue,
Well I knew it was all just a wish?
Bm A G* ?
But that don??t mean it couldn??t exist
Just seventeen, yeah I gave up my gun
to play my guitar in the trenches
So I sang in the face of a man-eating sun,
That Florida heat is a bitch,
But I wouldn??t trade nothing for it
(Intro)
When I was young?
When I was young?
I got myself broke and beat down, but stood up
left too many words on the tip of my tongue,
But oh, I was singing at the top of my lungs,
G* ?
every night.
Spinning wheels turning, I fell into love,
swallowed up in a sea of forgiveness,
I??ve got a crooked killer heart,
I??ve got, bastard blood,
But my God, oh my God, I forget,
And you keep paying for these second-hand sins
When I was young?
When I was young?
I was hiding in corners to stay out of sight
Giving my best but still falling behind
But I was reborn in the dust and the pines, oh my?
When I was young
Oh and now I??m, getting pushed and pulled apart
And I don??t know, where it ends or where it starts
And all of those neon lights, outside of my window
Tell me it??s not eleven yet, it??s getting close, though
And now I just don??t know what? to do
Then I said, ??Matt, you just gotta get back
to those nights when you sat on the cause-way??
All you had was six strings and a heart that beat
and you knew that it had to mean something,
Yeah, you knew that it had to mean something,
?I just knew it was better than nothing,
When I was young?
When I was young?
We played rock and roll music on broken guitars,
Spent the whole night laying out under stars,
She told me she loved me with her hand on her heart,
Now I??m turning these pages and holding on tight
Living this life like I??m never gonna die,
Living this life like I??m never gonna die,
Living this life like I??m never gonna die, die, die?
When I was young
