Dm7
I tried to die young, really I tried
F C
But the voice deep inside would not let me succumb
Am G F
I laugh at the things that I've done
G C
When I tried to die young
Am
I took a plane through the dawn, threw myself on the tracks
F G
But the train didn't come and I had to walk back
C Am
I jumped into the whirlpool, thought I'd get sucked in
F G
I just kept spinning around 'til I learned how to swim and I
C Dm7
Tried to die young, boy, did I try
F C
But the voice deep inside would not let me succumb
Am G F
And I laugh at the things I've done
G C
When I tried to die young
C Am
Well, my heart kept on breaking and the crack sought the edge
F G
Where the hand of a shadow grabbed the hand in my head
C Am
There were demons, I know them and they still come by
F G
But we've become friends, my demons and I
C Dm7
Well I tried to die young, really I tried
F C
But the voice deep inside would not let me succumb
Am G F
And I laugh at the things I've done
G C
When I tried to die young
Am Em7 F G
I took a razor to the wrist of reality
Am Em7 F G
Hell-bent on my way toward futility
Am Em7 F G
I've got a reason to believe that it won't go on forever
F G
But reason to the heart, is a message undelivered
C Dm7
Ahhh, I tried to die young, really, really I tried
F C
But the voice deep inside would not let me succumb
Am G F
And I laugh at the things I've done
G C
When I tried to die young
C Am
Now I'm the old girl I never thought I'd become
F G
"Does it get any better?", asks the little girl in my song
C Am
I'm still learning the answers, so I make up things you see
F G
She laughs, "You're still the same and you'll never kill me!"
C Dm7
Oh, I tried to die young, really I tried
F C
But the voice deep inside would not let me succumb
Am G F
And I laugh at the things I've done
G C
