 In those spots, approximations were put in their place.

B Em G A Em      D Em

HEY! D  C  G  Am
D         C      G              Am
Where you are in standin' down below me
D          C                        G                  Am
Honestly believe that the there is something you could show me
    D                C                G            Am
But deep within your mind is what you give to even know me

    G         A     G         A     G       
 A        G         E
And you don't know, you don't know, you don't know how young you are

D C G Am repeat

D             C                 G              Am
The Ice Cream Parlor Snakes and Liquid Plastic Castles
D                   C               G                  Am
The day and night revolves around a thousand different hassles
D              C            G                 Am
Corny Dogs and Window Panes baked with silver tassels

    G         A     G         A     G       
 A        G         E
And you don't know, you don't know, you don't know how young you are

D C G Am repeat 6x

D                C                  G               Am
If I knew what's right for you, you would not heave about it
D                 C                  G               Am
And if I knew the truth for you, I'd truly stand and shout it
D                           C                  G           Am
There's better things that you could be, there is no doubt about it

    G         A     G         A     G       
 A        G         E
And you don't know, you don't know, you don't know how young you are

Em
You don't know, you die young.     repeat many times and end with E
