[Verse 1]
D
I won't forget the day I found
D
My first place on the edge of town
D A G
A few milk crates, a beat-up couch and an old T.V.
D
A little rundown, a little bit small
Bm
But to me it was the Taj Mahal
D A D
It's just one of those things you gotta be young to see
[Verse 2]
D
Friday night, what the hell, let's go
D
And just like that we were on a roll
D A G
Three best friends and a radio, that was all we'd need
D
We put a thousand miles on an old red jeep
Bm
Just to watch the sun rise on the beach
D A D
It's just one of those things you gotta be young to see
[Chorus]
G
When you're young
D
There's plenty of time to get older
G
Once you're old
A
That's all you'll ever be
D
Yeah, that's the beauty to livin' life
Bm
Wild and free
D A D
It's just one of those things you gotta be young to see
[Verse 3]
D
I left home around 22
D
Mama was beggin' me to finish school
D A G
But there was nothing they could do, it was up to me
D
So I packed my bags and an old guitar
Bm
'Cause if you're ever gonna be a star
D A D
It's just one of those things you gotta be young to see
[Chorus]
G
When you're young
D
There's plenty of time to get older
G
Once you're old
A
That's all you'll ever be
D
Yeah, that's the beauty to livin' life
Bm
Wild and free
D A D
It's just one of those things you gotta be young to see
[Verse 4]
D
So grow your hair, get a new tattoo
D
Quit your job and go to Bonnaroo
D A G
Whatever it is you wanna do or think or be
D
Don't put it off too many years
Bm
'Cause some of the best stuff disappears
D A G
I'm not old enough to know but I believe
D A D
Yeah, there's some things you gotta be young to see
