G Csus2 G
When I was eight I used worms for my bait
G Csus2 D
Threw rocks at the hive of a bee
G Em Csus2 G
Now I just wait for death to come
G D G
And wash this old buoy out to sea
G Csus2 G
To be young is a beautiful thing
G Csus2 D
To be selfish, unburdened and free
G Em Csus2 G
So children take your merry old time
G D G
All you Sawyers and Huckleberries
G Csus2 G
When I was nine I smoked the first time
G Csus2 D
I carved a girl's name in a tree
G Em Csus2 G
Now I just drink to numb these pains
G D G
And wonder what happened to me
(Chorus)
Em Csus2 G D
Run for the hills while there's spring in you still
Em Csus2 G D
Sail while there's wind in your sails
Em Fmaj7 Csus2 Em
Love like your heart's in one unbroken piece
Csus2 Em Csus2 Em
Dance to the beat, dance to the beat
Csus2 Em D
Dance to the beat of your drum
G Csus2 G
When I was ten I lost a best friend
G Csus2 D
He sunk to where I couldn't see
G Em Csus2 G
Now I just sit in this pew and repent
G D G
And wish that it could've been me
G Csus2 G
To die young is a beautiful thing
G Csus2 D
To be selfish, unburdened and free
G Em Csus2 G
So children take your merry old time
G D G
All you Sawyers and Huckleberries
(Chorus x2)
