Intro G G Em Em D D C C x2

G G Em Em D D C C
i was born a bitter old man who got his heart broken in catalonia, 1936.
G G Em Em
i haven't felt right since, so i gave up on life before i arrived.
D D C C G G
i knew this place wasn't safe for anyone but fascists and republicans and their apologists.
D D C C G G Am Am D D
but i swear to god, i'm gonna die full of naive optimism; a teenager's heartbreaking conviction
C C D D
that things can be different. oh yeah, things are gonna be real different when we're finished
G G
around here.
Am Am C C D D
i always wanted to die young.
G G Am Am C C D D
i always wanted to die young.
G G Am Am C C
i always wanted to die young;
D D C C
now i feel younger every day, and i just hope i die younger than i am.

Intro again (G G Em Em D D C C x2)

G G
i can hear you from a dozen states away
Em Em D D C C G G
shivering through a dope sick morning of no money left and nothing else to steal.
G G Em Em D D
lord only knows that i've had my share, because there were years when i was ready to die,
C C G G C C
but it's only been recently that i've been willing to live.
D D C C G G Am Am D D
and i swear to god, i didn't plan for things to end up this way.
C C
i had a teenager's conviction that i would be different.
D D G G
oh yeah, i was gonna be real different than the person i became.

Am Am C C D D
i always wanted to die young.
G G Am Am C C D D
i always wanted to die young.
G G Am Am C C
i always wanted to die young;
D D C C
now i feel younger every day, and i just hope i die younger than i am.

Bridge G G Cm Cm x4

G G Em Em C C
but now living's a struggle, except when it isn't. (yeah),
G G Em Em C C
i woke up this morning and i wasn't in prison,
G G Em Em C C
but i can't promise that i'm far from it.

i'd still kill a man for cigarette,
G G Em Em C C
but with friends like you, who needs homicide?
G G Em Em C C
so this song goes out to all our homies locked down.
G G Em Em C C
come on back now, we need you around.
G G Em Em C C
that judge, he doesn't know what he's done.
G G Em Em C C
no, judges never know the things they do. how could they?

G G Em Em D D C C x4 end on G G
