When You Were Young

    E                  Gb     Abm
You sit there in your heart-ache
    B              E
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
 E                Gb       Abm
To save you from your old ways
 B                           
You play forgiveness
E
Watch it now Here he comes


    E                       Gb Abm   
He doesnt look a thing like Je-sus
            B                        
But he talks like a gentleman
 E
Like you imagined
              Gb Abm  
When you were young  


Interlude: B  E


 E            
Can we climb this mountain
 Gb     Abm
I dont know
 B                        E
Higher now than ever before
 E                           Gb      Abm 
I know we can make it if we take it slow
 B
Let's take it easy
  E
Easy now,  watch it go


 E                             Gb   Abm
We're burning down the highway sky- line
         B
On the back of a hurricane
 E 
That started turning
               Gb  Abm     B    E
When you were   young
               Gb  Abm     B   E
When you were   young


       E           Gb          Abm
And sometimes you close your eyes
              B                      E
And see the place where you used to live
                Gb  Abm     B     E
When you were    young

They say the devil's water It ain't so sweet
                             Abm
You dont have to drink right now
                      B(?)
But you can dip your feet
                        Gb
Every once in a little while

Waiting on some beautiful boy to

                                  Gb   Abm    B   E
I said he doesnt look a thing like Jesus      
                           Gb   Abm         B    E
He doesnt look a thing like Jesus
