Am C G Am C G
To be young, to be young
Am C G
Were just leaves, leaves, floating on down the stream

My job, my house, my car, my whole social scene

So high are the stakes, every move we make
F G C
Sends us down, down, down in that stream
CHORUS:
F Am
Here in the only life I know

Those summer days rush out like warm air from my lungs

All I didnt know, oh, when we were young

Oh how theyve risen they fallen
C Am
Like the sun circles round
F G Am
Guess Ive done just as well as anyone
F G C
Hard to accept it, Im just anyone

Those summer days rush out like water from the lawn

Not taking notice I dont know which way to go
F Am
Its just the way the story goes
G
Ill be damned if Im to live it out alone

Here in the only life I know

With any waste of time it hits so close to home

Its just the way the story goes

Ill be damned if Im to live it out alone
I wont live it out alone
Wont live it out alone
VERSE:
Am C G
Were just leaves, leaves, floating on down the stream
Am C G
My job my house my clothes my whole social scene
Dm G
So high are the stakes
Dm G C Am
So high are the stakes, every move we make
F G Am
Sends us down, down, down in that stream
Dm G C Am
And one day, one day, one bright clear day
F G Am
I think we all might just disappear
F G C Am
Sink on down in that river cold and clear, my dear
F G Am
On down like leaves in an icy stream
F G C
On down like leaves to the bottom of an icy stream
