This is the lead part for the verse/intro. If you're just playing chords, 
use the chords above, but palm mute most of it. 
 
 
Chorus 
------ 
 
   C#m    D   E   D   E   F#    E 
E--4---|-----------------------------| 
B--5---|-----------------------------| 
G--6---|--7---9---7---9--------------|

A--4---|--5---7---5---7---4--4--2----| 
E------|------------------2--2--0----| 
 
Play a clean C#m twice on the "Young enough..." bit, letting it ring. Repeat 
the rest of it as necessary. You can play the F# or the last E higher up  
if 
you like (makes it easier to get back to the D), but I think it sounds a  
bit 
better lower down. Of course, I haven't shown any timing, but I'm sure you 
can figure that out yourself. 
 
 
Bridge (for want of a better word) 
------ 
   C#      D            A       F# 
E-------------------|---------------------- 
B-------------------|---------------------- 
G--6-6-6-6-7-7-7-7--|---------------------- 
D--6-6-6-6-7-7-7-7--|---7--7----4--4------- 
A--4-4-4-4-5-5-5-5--|---7--7----4--4------- 
E-------------------|---5--5----2--2------- 
 
This is basically played 4 times. The first and last time, don't play 
the A F# bit. Again, I'm sure you can figure this out easily enough 
listening to the song. Oh, and be sure to get out your whistle, and blow 
it just before heading back into the chorus. :)

The outro is really just 2 sets of the verse chords, ending with the 
above. 
 
 
Lyrics 
------ 
 
Intro/Verse: 
So what exactly are you saying 
You'd like to live your life between the sheets 
And no destination 
The hours getting way past getting late 
Defy the public opinion 
You're talking big it comes too easily 
I'm not prepared to entertain 
You salivate when someone tells it straight 
 
C#m 
Young enough to always push your luck 
C#m 
I keep my fingers crossed you keep them up 
 
Chorus: 
Got a reason to get up this morning 
Got inspired by the fear of being last 
Don't deny your criminal past 
 
Verse: 
So what exactly are ya saying 
You'd like to live your life by talking cheap 
It's no consolation 
The hours getting way past getting late 
And so it's time to forget all the people 
There's too much to regret 
But now it's carved in stone 
You should just hang up the phone forever 
You've been arrested and you've been inspected 
But you're... 
 
C#m 
Young enough to always push your luck 
I keep my fingers crossed you keep them up 
 
Chorus: 
Got a reason to get up this morning 
Got inspired by the fear of being last 
Don't deny your criminal past 
 
Verse chords: 
Yeah, your criminal past etc.
