In Our Youth

C              G
You and I could run away
    D                 G
And find a place I'll hide someday
      C                  G                      D
But I wouldn't blame you if you wanted more
C                          G
So let's pretend it's just you and me here
    D                 G
The town we're in can disappear
      C                   G                 D
We'll grab the sheets and build ourselves a fort
          C              D        G      D    C
and we'll watch the rain fall and sit up on a roof
             C                D              G
cause it's a perfect night to be here in our youth!
    C                  G
The stress has got the best of me
  D             G
A party's all I really need
      C                  G                 D
Let's make the calls and meet at someone's pad
    G                    C
The friends are good the booze is too
     D               G
I'll finally sit and talk to you
         C                 G              D
and find all the things in common that we had
C                   D                   G       D      C
Tomorrow we'll talk about the things we wish we didn't do
           C                D              G
But it's a perfect night to be here in our youth!
         D
And I've heard 
                  G           Em
There will come a time in our lives
         D                    Em   D   C
When our worth is measured in gold and dimes
         C             D
But when young is just another word
    G        D   C
For reckless and amused
       C                D              G
It's a perfect night to be here in our youth!
   C                     G
So raise your cup, let's not regret
    D               G
The things we never did or said
     C                        G                 D
It's strange to think that it won't be this for long!
   C                   G
So make a toast, don't brag or boast
   D          G
No decency is for the old
      C                G                    D
We're learning what is right and that we're wrong
          C           D
And we'll measure our success
       G       D     C
By the bottles we go through
             C                D              G
Cause it's a perfect night to be here in our youth!
       C                D              G
It's a perfect night to be here in our youth!
       C                D              G
It's a perfect night to be here in our youth!
