(Intro)
Am G F E
(Verse)
Am G
Humble moon, what now do I do?
F
A restaurants' plastic glass,
E
at house party with your hip flask
Am Dm
Has he kept you precious like a locket?
E
The pale night alive
Through your jeans tight,
F G
cigarette box outline in your pocket
Am G
We're in the bathroom and you perch on the sink
F E
I begin to infatuate, exasperate, resuscitate
Am
By day the cat sleeps,
Dm E
but at night how he moans through the windows perspex
F G
We sit and talk about sex because it's all we have in common, don't you know
(Chorus)
C Am
And it's youth, ever fading youth
F
Would you have lived differently
G
if you had known this life was on loan?
(Verse)
Am G
I recall the blue first night I met you,
F
and gaze through the passing time
E
Your hair was henna and wine
Am Dm
The contrast in what I dream and reality
E
Took you back from the club while your friends all did drugs,
F G
we never spoke about love, just mortality
(Chorus)
C Am
And it's youth, ever fading youth
F
Would you have lived differently
G
if you had known this life was on loan?
C Am
And it's youth, ever fading youth
F
Would you have lived differently
G
if you had known this life was on loan?
(BRIDGE)
C
All of these nights you just trawl the same streets
Am
Tell the same stories, you count the heart beats
F
Obsess with the death of the miracle days
G
I CAN FEEL ALL YOUR DREAMS START TO FLICKER AND FADE
(Chorus)
C Am
And it's youth, ever fading youth
F
Would you have lived differently
G
if you had known this life was on loan?
(OUTRO)
C
Youth, ever fading youth
