ACOUSTIC PIANO TAB
* This is an improvement on several of the tabs here, both in lyrics and in
chords. This is a piano player's perspective, as it's a piano driven song, and it
follows the fun's acoustic version closely. Guitarists should be able to follow
easily, but I couldn't tell you if the fun. guitarist plays the exact same chords
as the pianist. *
"We Are Young" by fun.
[VERSE 1]
F5
Give me a second I, I need to get my story straight,
D5
My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State,
G5
My lover she is waiting for me just across the bar,
A#5 C5
My seat's been taken by some sunglasses asking 'bout a scar, and
F5 D5
I know I gave it to you months ago; I know you're trying to forget.
G5
But be-tween the drinks and subtle things, the holes in my apologies, you know,
A#5 C5
I'm trying hard to take it back
[PRE-CHORUS]
G5 A5
so if by the time the bar closes
D5 A5 A#5
and you feel like falling down
A#5 C5
I'll carry you home
[CHORUS x2]
F5 F5 A5 D5
To-night, we are young
D5 D5 A#5
So let's set the world on fire;
A#5
we can burn brighter
F5 -> C5
than the sun
[VERSE 2]
F5 F5 F5 -> F5
And I know that I'm not all that you got
D5 Dm2 D5 G5
I guess that I, I just thought, maybe we could find a ways to fall a-part
G5
But our friends are back, so let's raise a toast
A#5 C5
Cause I found someone to carry me home
[CHORUS x2]
F5 F5 A5 D5
To-night, we are young
D5 D5 A#5
So let's set the world on fire;
A#5
we can burn brighter
F5 -> C5
than the sun
[SPECIAL CHORUS]
F5 A#5
Carry me home to-night
F5 C5
Carry me home to-night
F5 A#5
Carry me home to-night
F5 C5
Carry me home to-night
(the following is sung over the part above)
F5 A#5
The moon is on my side, I have no reason to run
F5 C5
So will someone come and carry me home tonight.
F5 A#5
The angels never 'rived, but I can hear the choir
F5 C5
So will someone come and carry me home
[CHORUS x2]
F5 F5 A5 D5
To-night, we are young
D5 D5 A#5
So let's set the world on fire;
A#5
we can burn brighter
F5 -> C5
than the sun
[end on PRE-CHORUS]
G5 A5
so if by the time the bar closes
D5 A5 A#5
and you feel like falling down
A#5 C5 F5
I'll carry you home... tonight
