When I was young there was fire in my lungs,
Bm A
and I just wanted someone to listen
D G D
Some ears to ignite with my pen and my tongue,
Bm A
Well I knew it was all just a wish?
Bm A
But that don?t mean it couldn?t exist
D G D
Just seventeen, yeah I gave up my gun
Bm A
to play my guitar in the trenches
D G D
So I sang in the face of a man-eating sun,
Bm A
That Florida heat is a bitch,
Bm A D
But I wouldn?t trade nothing for it

When I was young?
D
When I was young?
A G D
I got myself broke and beat down, but stood up
A G D
left too many words on the tip of my tongue,
A G Bm
But oh, I was singing at the top of my lungs,
G * ?
D G D
Spinning wheels turning, I fell into love,
Bm A G
swallowed up in a sea of forgiveness,
D
I?ve got a crooked killer heart,
G D
I?ve got, bastard blood,
Bm A G
But my God, oh my God, I forget,
Bm A D
And you keep paying for these second-hand sins
G D
When I was young?
G D
When I was young?
A G D
I was hiding in corners to stay out of sight
A G D
Giving my best but still falling behind
G
But I was reborn in the dust and the pines, oh my?
D
When I was young
Bm G D
Oh and now I?m, getting pushed and pulled apart
Bm G D
And I don?t know, where it ends or where it starts
Em G
And all of those neon lights, outside of my window
Em G
Tell me it?s not eleven yet, it?s getting close, though
Bm A G G9
And now I just don?t know what? to do
D G D
Then I said, ?Matt, you just gotta get back
Bm A G
to those nights when you sat on the cause-way?
D G D
All you had was six strings and a heart that beat
Bm A G
and you knew that it had to mean something,
Bm A G
Yeah, you knew that it had to mean something,
Bm A G
?I just knew it was better than nothing,
G D
When I was young?
G D
When I was young?
A G D
We played rock and roll music on broken guitars,
A G D
Spent the whole night laying out under stars,
A G D
She told me she loved me with her hand on her heart,
A G D
Now I?m turning these pages and holding on tight
A G D
Living this life like I?m never gonna die,
A G D
Living this life like I?m never gonna die,
G G9
Living this life like I?m never gonna die, die, die?
