Intro: 
F C G Am (3x) 
F C G G 
 
 
F          C               G               Am 
I was only looking for the treasure in the dark 
       F          C             G             Am 
Not the trees and people in the middle of the park 
       F           C              G         Am       F    C G G 
But the treasure's buried beneath years and years of time 
 
           F          C           G               
He put his hand in my hand and he told me, 
Am              F        C                G               Am 
"Son, when they all come looking for you, where you gonna run? 
     F            C         G            Am              F         C        G G 
Your hearts wired up to the eyes in your head and they're flashing bright." 
 
   G       G         F      F           C C G G 
Be careful what you wish for when you're young 
   G       G         F      F           C C G G 
Be careful what you wish for when you're young 
 
 
F C G Am (3x) 
F C G G 
 
 
           F             C            G       Am 
I signed a deal with the devil and he took my soul 
     F           C            G        Am 
To a room with a table in the dark and cold. 
  F         C             G           Am          F       C    G G 
I signed my name just the same as I'd done on the line before. 
 
F            C             G             Am  
I was in the middle of the cliff and the sea 
       F             C                G              Am 
with a ditch right behind me that the bitch couldn't see 
    F          C              G             Am 
She came right at me with her teeth and her dress 
         F        C   G G 
And they both fell of 
 
   G       G         F      F           C C G G 
Be careful what you wish for when you're young 
   G       G         F      F           C C G G 
Be careful what you wish for when you're young 
 
 
F C G Am (3x) 
F C G G
