Capo 4
[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D G D
My Grandpa gave a wheat penny and I kept it in my pocket
D A
I had big plans in my back yard to build me a space rocket
D G D
I talked to my brother on a fake CB that I made from a tic-tac box
D A D
I packed my snowballs nice and tight but in the middle I put rocks
[Chorus]
G D
Don't trade in your tic-tac box for a ball on the end of a chain
A
And don't go spending Grandpa's pennies buying into the game
G D
You gotta keep your heart young
A Bm
Don't go growing old before your time has come
G D
You can't take back what you have done
A D
You've gotta keep your heart young
[Verse 2]
D G D
Dad took the wheels off of my bike and he pushed me down a hill
A
But speed got the best of me and I took my first thrill
D G D
That was back when alcohol was only used on cuts
A D
It stung like hell so I jerked my leg and momma said it'd give me guts
[Chorus]
G D
Don't trade in your tic-tac box for a ball on the end of a chain
A
And don't go spending Grandpa's pennies buying into the game
G D
You gotta keep your heart young
A Bm
Don't go growing old before your time has come
G D
You can't take back what you have done
A D
You've gotta keep your heart young
[Verse 3]
G D
So take a picture of the one you love and put it in a locket
A
Go dig up your time capsule and the blue prints for your rocket
D G D
Keep in touch on a fake CB, that same old tic-tac box
A D
Pack your snowballs a little less tight but in the middle still put rocks
[Bridge]
G D
And keep your heart young
A Bm
Don't go growing old before your time has come
G D
You can't take back what you have done
A D
You've gotta keep your heart young
[Chorus]
G D
You gotta keep your heart young
A
Sometimes you don't die quick
Bm
Just like you wished you'd done
G D
The love is a loaded gun
A D
You've gotta keep your heart young
G D Bm
You can't take back what you have done is done
A D
You've gotta keep your heart young
