Dyin’ All Young
Chuck Prophet (2000)
Gmaj7 Cmaj7
He didn't even get to see the summer settin', Dyin' all young
He didn't even get to see the summer settin', Dyin' all young
Gmaj7 Cmaj7 Gma7 Cmaj7
Well, the telephone rang off the hook while the sun was goin' down
Gmaj7 Cmaj7 Gma7 Cmaj
She never heard her baby callin' now her baby ain't around
Em
It broke his mama's heart something pulled him like the tide
D C
Up on the banks of Methodonia laid down and closed his eyes
D
Summer nights ain't never gonna feel right Dyin' all young, oh
[ Chorus ]
Gmaj7 Cmaj7 Gma7 Cmaj7
Wanted to be there in your future want you to see-me-when-you-look-back
Gmaj7 Cmaj7 Gma7 Cmaj7
Want to be around to see you glow, little cowboy shine like lighting through a crack
But you [Em] climbed back in that saddle for one more fatal ride
If I had-it-all-to-[D] do it all again I'd lock in you in your room this time [C]
Summer nights ain't never gonna feel right [D] Dyin' all young, oh
[ Chorus x2 ]
Well, I don't like [Gmaj7] anything I'm seein'[Cmaj7] I don't like [Gmaj7] anything at
all [Cmaj7]
And when I [Gmaj7] come across your memory [Cmaj7] It always [Gmaj7] turns my skin to
crawl [Cmaj7]
I [Em] know I should feel lucky, lucky I'm alive
One day your [D] love bloomed like a flower that flower up and died
We pump so much [C] shit into this river, the river flows into the sea
Every-[D] -day I think about you, could you ever think of me? [C] Oh
[ Chorus ]
If [Gmaj7] you were here, I'd pick you up I'd [Cmaj7] make you say you'd had enough
(He didn't even get to see the summer settin' Dyin' all young)
I'd [Gmaj7] pat your skin pull out your hair. [Cmaj7] Why'd you go along and leave me
[Gmaj7] here?
(He didn't even get to see the summer settin' Dyin' all young)
[Cmaj7] Dyin' all young
(He-he didn't, he didn't, he didn't, he didn't)
[Gmaj7] Gonna meet your maker [Cmaj7] Dyin' all young
(He didn't even get to see the summer)
[ Chorus x2]
