[Verse 1] A D I knew you from the day the door got kicked in A D E The gang was hanging around ?cause we had some things to talk about F#M E D C You were stoned, from out of town, your head up on the moon A D D A You needed some place to hide out and our place would have to do A D Pigeon-toed and guilty, just a friend of a friend of a friend A D E You?d taken a fall and missed the ground and just kept on going F#m E D C We never knew just what it was, you were no Hester Prynne A D D A You said something before you left that we all could believe in [Chorus] D A G You said, it?s not how you swim it?s how you hold your breath D A E It?s not about playing fair in this life, it's more about cheating death F#m E D C If you don?t like gettin? old, well you?ll hate the other choice I?m told A D D A Cause it?s a little late to die young (It?s a little too late to die young) A D D A Cause it?s a little late to die young (It?s a little too late to die young) [Verse 2] A D The night got long we sang some songs and we shared some stories too A D E We popped the top on the last cold pop as the sky was turning blue F#m E D C All of a sudden the door crashed and in came six big police man A D D A As they carried you away, you said those words again [Chorus] D A G You said, it?s not how you swim it?s how you hold your breath D A E It?s not about playing fair in this life, it's more about cheating death F#m E D C If you don?t like gettin? old, well you?ll hate the other choice I?m told A D D A Cause it?s a little late to die young (It?s a little too late to die young) A D D A Cause it?s a little late to die young (It?s a little too late to die young) [Outro] A D One fine day you?re lookin? back A D You?ve worked 10 years and you don?t have jack A D The dreams you had are wearin? thin A D But the loot dream just won?t let you in It's a little too late!
