Intro: D    A    G    A

Verse:
D                                               A
Life’s too short to even care at all, oh whoa-oh
    G                                       A
I’m losing my mind losing my mind losing control
      D                                                  A
These fishes in the sea, they’re staring at me oh whoa-oh, oh whoa-oh-oh
  G                                            A
A wet world aches for a beat of a drum, oh whoa, oh

Chorus:
           Bm                                  A
If I could find a way to see this straight I’d run away
                Ab   G            Bm         A
To some fortune that I should have found by now
                    G           Bm      A
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down, come down

Interlude: D    A    G    A

Verse:
D                                               A
Life’s too short to even care at all, oh whoa-oh
G                                         A
I’m coming up now coming up now out of the blue, oh oh oh oh
      D                                                           A
These zombies in the park they’re looking for my heart oh whoa-oh, oh whoa-oh-oh
  G                                                A
A dark world aches for a splash of the sun, oh whoa whoa

Chorus:
           Bm                                  A
If I could find a way to see this straight I’d run away
                Ab   G            Bm         A
To some fortune that I should have found by now
                                               Bm
And so I run out to the things they said could restore me
                 A
Restore life the way it should be
                     G          Bm      A
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down

Bridge:
D                                               A
Life’s too short to even care at all, oh whoa-oh
    G                                       A
I’m losing my mind losing my mind losing control

Interlude - x3 -: D    A    G    A

Chorus:
           Bm                                  A
If I could find a way to see this straight I’d run away
                     G            Bm         A
To some fortune that I should have found by now
                                               Bm
And so I run out to the things they said could restore me
                 A
Restore life the way it should be
                     G          Bm      A
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down

D                                            A
One more spoon of cough syrup now, oh whoa-oh
G                                      A
One more spoon of cough syrup now, whoa-oh, oh oh

Biography

Young the Giant are an American alternative rock band who formed in Irvine, California in 2004. The band consists of Sameer Gadhia (vocals, percussion), Jacob Tilley (guitar), Eric Cannata (guitar), Payam Doostzadeh (bass) and François Comtois (drums). The band’s name is purposefully nonsensical; Gadhia explained it as a “leftfield idea” meant to evoke curiosity.

The band released their debut self-titled album, Young the Giant, on 25 January 2011, which was preceded by a digital-only release in October 2010.
