Verse 1:
                  C
I was high when I met you
         C
Life was somethin' to get through
                      C
Picture frame in your bedroom
       C
Of the one man that left you
               Em                            G
And I felt the spiral of the earth when you finally called me yours
                         C
Ain't it strange how you saw me gettin' dressed in the hallway?
                     C
You could tell I was fallin'
                 D
Or escapin' from somethin'
           Em
You didn't say a single word
           G
You didn't see me as a curse
                 C
The state of the summer blends us in with each other
                       C
We would pray for more thunder for a night under cover
        Em
We were huddlin' like mice
         G
Below an unforgivin' sky

Pre-chorus:
D
Too old for both of us to keep howlin' at the moon
     G                                   C
To be cross-eyed drunk this young in the afternoon
D
Two souls in one truck, and no money left to lose
G                   C
Teach me how to not stare at you
                (nc)
And I spent the whole night singin'

Chorus:
Em                  C
"Oh, my, my, what a time to be alive"
          G                       D
Young and dumb on the edge of the world
Em                     C
Oh, good Lord, what it means to be alone
       G                            D
I knew well, I knew hell, and now I don't
Em                    C
Tell me, love, if the devil ever comes
        G                        D
To make good on the debts that I owe
Em                     C
Wish me well, tell the stories I would tell
    G                   D
Go ahead, make a few of your own
              C
A few of your own

Verse 2:
             C
Once all the rain stopped
       C
I was afraid you might wake up
                 C
And remember who I am
                  C
And remember what I've done
           Em
Didn't ask me to justify
                    G
You just sat up and rubbed your eyes
                 C
I grew up with a feelin'
                         C
That what's good must be fleetin'
                       C
That if I'm happy, I'm dreamin'
                          C
Then I'm prepared for you leavin'
               Em
But I see that xxxxxx beat-up car
   G
Oh baby, there you are

Pre-chorus:
D
Too old for both of us to keep howlin' at the moon
     G                                   C
To be cross-eyed drunk this young in the afternoon
D
Two souls in one truck, and no money left to lose
G                   C
Teach me how to not stare at you
(nc)
We yelled

Chorus:
Em                  C
"Oh, my, my, what a time to be alive"
          G                       D
Young and dumb on the edge of the world
Em                     C
Oh, good Lord, what it means to be alone
       G                            D
I knew well, I knew hell, and now I don't
Em                    C
Tell me, love, if the devil ever comes
        G                        D
To make good on the debts that I owe
Em                     C
Wish me well, tell the stories I would tell
    G                   D
Go ahead, make a few of your own
              Em  C              G    D
A few of your own, a few of your own
Em                  C
"Oh, my, my, what a time to be alive"
          G                       D
Young and dumb on the edge of the world
Em                     C
Oh, good Lord, what it means to be alone
       G                            D
I knew well, I knew hell, and now I don't
Em                    C
Tell me, love, if the devil ever comes
        G                        D
To make good on the debts that I owe
Em                     C
Wish me well, tell the stories I would tell
    G                   D
Go ahead, make a few of your own
              Em   C             G    D
A few of your own, a few of your own

Outro:
                       Em
Oh, make a few of your own
C                      G     D
Oh, make a few of your own
                       Em
Oh, make a few of your own
