Lyrics

Youth is wasted on the young capo 3
G C D G C D
Whatever happened to our youthful days?
G C D C D
Whatever happened to our mischievous ways?
G C D G C D
Well, I couldn’t tell ya, oh now, who’s to say
G C D C D
Why we’re made to suffer for our youthful days?
C D G F# Em
So don’t go thinking that those were the days
C D C D
Just because you were thinner and a little less gray.

Chorus
G C D G CD
Cause Youth is wasted on the young
G C D C D
Walking around, oh looking so dumb
G C D G
Cause Youth is wasted on the young
G C D C D
Walking around, oh looking so dumb

G C D G CD
C. I'm so glad to grow older and to be moving away
G C D C D
from all the pointless struggles of our youthful days
C D C
Remember the first time? It was the worst time
Remember the struggles and the point of it all?











Cause Youth is wasted on the Young
Cause Youth is wasted on the Young
Walking around oh, looking so dumb
Remember the first time it was the worst time?
Remember the struggle and the point of it all?

Instrumental:


These are the best days of OUR lives
We still have the best days of OUR lives
These are the best days of OUR lives
We still have the best days of OUR lives
Cause Youth is wasted on the young
Youth is wasted on the young
Youth is wasted on the young
