Ballad Of Youth(Chords)

	        (intro 3x) Em   C   D 

E                                                Am 
Growing up today There's many mountains you must climb 
C                                               D 
You're not the only one 'Cause everybody's on that line 
E                                          Am 
Hey mister know it all What do you recommend 
         C                                                      D 
You think you know the answers But the questions never end 

E          D/F#               G    A 
Young hearts, better hold on 
C                                             D 
Beyond the innocence, Your youth is gone 
      E                D/F#                G              A 
So look in your mirror You got nothing to lose 
C                                             D 
Don't waste your time away Thinkin' 'bout yesterday's blues 

(intro 2x) Em   C   D 

E                                     Am 
Born outta passion To a world gone cold 
         C                                               D 
You wear it on your shoulders It's a heavy, heavy load I know 
E                                              Am 
Love and its emotions Come knocking at your door 
   C                                               D 
Young hearts will be broken And time's the only cure 

E          D/F#               G    A 
Young hearts, better hold on 
C                                             D 
Beyond the innocence, Your youth is gone 
      E                   D/F#        G                 A 
But Look in your mirror It'll tell you the truth 
C                                             D 
Don't waste your love away Thinkin' 'bout yesterday's blues 

(solo 2x) E   Am   C   D 

Em                               C         D 
Temptation makes us fall from grace 
             C                                            D 
But the angels were sinners And the sinners, saints 
Em                                         C         D 
Forgive yourself cause we're all the same 
C                                    D 
Everybody rides on the karma train 

E          D/F#               G    A 
Young hearts, better hold on 
C                                             D 
Beyond the innocence, Your youth is gone 
      E                   D/F#        G                 A 
But Look in your mirror It'll tell you the truth 
C                                                     D 
Don't waste your time away Don't waste your life away, no, no 
E          D/F#         G               A 
Live today, There's no time to lose 
C                                                     D 
Cause when tomorrow comes It's all just yesterday's news 

( Em   C   D ) 

C         D                   Em 
All just yesterday news
