Intro:  A F#m (2x) 
 
verse 1 
A 
Anyone in there 
F#m 
Knock, knock, knock 
A 
I think I see you 
     F#m 
among the shadows 
           A 
they still cling to the wall 
              F#m 
And your mind feeds them 
           A   B   D         F#m 
You're the vic-tim of like a meaning 
         A  B  D                 F#m 
Feeling sor-ry is your favourite feeling 
 
 
Bm       G 
Why am I supposed to excuse you 
D                         A 
Nod my head as if I'm amused 
Bm                  D 
Give me a reason to lay down my guns 
A                 G               A 
You said youth is only... for the young 
 
Interlude: A F#m 
 
verse 2 
A 
You shut out the light 
        F#m 
In your home 
    A 
And all that remains 
              F#m 
You let go of laughter 
    A                 B 
Someone left it there 
D               F#m 
Half a lifetime ago 
 
 
Bm       G 
Why am I supposed to excuse you 
D                         A 
Nod my head as if I'm amused 
Bm                  D 
Give me a reason to lay down my guns 
A 
You said youth is 
 
Bm       G 
Why am I supposed to excuse you 
D                         A 
Nod my head as if I'm amused 
Bm                  D 
Give me a reason to lay down my guns 
A                 G 
You said youth is only 
 
Bridge

for the young 
 
Solo: Bm D A E Bm D A 
 
 
Bm       G                  Bm 
Why am I supposed to excuse you 
D                         A 
Nod my head as if I'm amused 
Bm 
You never gave up 
    D 
You never begun 
A                 G 
You said youth is only... for the young.
