(Intro.)
None   

(Verse 1)
(D)Time, it's gonna do what it always do
(D)Steals like a (G)thief and it don't let up (D)
(D)Look down that road, it looks so (Bm)long
(D)You blink your (G)eyes and it's almost gone (Em)

(Pre-Chorus)
No, you (Em)don't know what you (A)have when you have it (Em)
And (Em)maybe that's the point (A) - - -

(Chorus)
(G) Young man (A)thinks that he's (D)gonna live for-(Bm)ever
(G) Young man (A)drinks like he just (D) turned twenty-one (Bm)
(G) Young man (A)loves and leaves 'cause (D)he don't (A/C#)know no (Bm)better (A/F#)
(G)Young man thinks he'll (A)always be (D)young

(Instrumental)

(Verse 2)
Young wears a (A/C#)cape, thinks he can (Bm)fly
Jumps 'cause he (G)ain't smart enough not to (D)try
Driving like he (A/C#)stole it, faster than a (Bm)bullet
Laughing at to-(G)morrow like he's never gonna (Em)die

(Pre-Chorus)
You can (Em)try, but you can�ft (A)tell that boy nothing
(Em) He's gotta learn it for him-(A)-self, mm

(Chorus)
(G) Young man (A)thinks that he's (D)gonna live for-(Bm)ever
(G) Young man (A)drinks like he just (D)turned twentyone (Bm)
(G) Young man (A)loves and leaves 'cause (D)he don't know no (Bm)better (Bm/F#)
(G)Young man thinks he'll (A)always be (D)young

(Post-Chorus)
|(D) / / Mmm, |(A/C#) mmm / / |(C) / / / |(G) / (D/F#)(Em)|

(Bridge)
(Em) No, you don't know what you (A)have when you have it
(Em) Oh, and maybe that's (A) the point

(Chorus)
(G) Young man, I (A)know you think you're (D)gonna live for-(Bm)ever
(G) Young man, (A)take every (D)day as it comes (Bm)
(G) Someday, you're (A)gonna see an (D)old man (A/C#)in the (Bm)mirror (D/F#)
So, (G)young man, don't you (A)waste being young (Bm)
(G)Young man, don't you (A)waste being (D)young - - - - -
