Keep Your Heart Young - Brandi Carlile
Tuned Down a Half Step
This is done off the version from youtube. When the song comes out on record I
will check it to make sure its still good.
[Verse]
G C G
Grandpa gave me a wheat pennie and I put it in my pocket
G D
I had big plans in my back yard to build me a space rocket
G C G
I talked to my brother on a fake CB that I made from a tic-tac box
G D G
I packed my snowballs nice and tight but in the middle I put rocks
[Pre-Chorus]
C G
Don’t trade in your tic-tac box for a ball on the end of a chain
G D
And don’t go spending Grandpa’s pennies buying into the game
[Chorus]
C G
You gotta keep your heart young
D B/G
Don’t go growin old before your time has come
C G
You can’t take back what you have done
D G
You’ve gotta keep your heart young
[Verse]
Dad took the wheels off of my bike and he pushed me down a hill
But speed got the best of me and I took my first spill
That was back when alcohol was only used on cuts
It stung like hell so I turned my leg and momma said it’d give me guts
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t trade in your tic-tac box for a ball on the end of a chain
And don’t go spending Grandpa’s pennies buying into the game
[Chorus]
You gotta keep your heart young
Don’t go growin old before your time has come
You can’t take back what you have done
You’ve gotta keep your heart young
[Verse]
So take a picture of the one you love and put it in a locket
Go dig up your time capsule and the blue prints for your rocket
Keep in touch on a fake CB, that same old tic-tac box
Pack your snowballs a little less tight but in the middle still put rocks
[Chorus]
And keep your heart young
Don’t go growin old before your time has come
You can’t take back what you have done
You’ve gotta keep your heart young
[Outro]
You gotta keep your heart young
Sometimes you don’t die quick
Just like you wished you’d done
Though love is a loaded gun
You’ve gotta keep your heart young
You can’t take back what you have done
You’ve gotta keep your heart young
