[Intro] D Bm A G x2 [Verse 1] D Bm A G i was born a bitter old man who got his heart broken in catalonia, 1936. D Bm i haven’t felt right since, so i gave up on life before i arrived. A G D i knew this place wasn’t safe for anyone but fascists and republicans and their apologists. A G D Em A but i swear to god, i’m gonna die full of naive optimism; a teenager’s heartbreaking conviction G A that things can be different. oh yeah, things are gonna be real different when we’re finished D around here. [Chorus] Em G A i always wanted to die young. D Em G A i always wanted to die young. D Em G i always wanted to die young; A G now i feel younger every day, and i just hope i die younger than i am. [Instrumental] D Bm A G x2 [Verse 2] D i can hear you from a dozen states away Bm A G D shivering through a dope sick morning of no money left and nothing else to steal. D Bm A lord only knows that i’ve had my share, because there were years when i was ready to die, G D G but it’s only been recently that i’ve been willing to live. A G D Em A and i swear to god, i didn’t plan for things to end up this way. G i had a teenager’s conviction that i would be different. A D oh yeah, i was gonna be real different than the person i became. [Chorus] Em G A i always wanted to die young. D Em G A i always wanted to die young. D Em G i always wanted to die young; A G now i feel younger every day, and i just hope i die younger than i am. [Bridge] D Gm x4 [Verse 3] D Bm G but now living’s a struggle, except when it isn’t. (yeah), D Bm G i woke up this morning and i wasn’t in prison, D Bm G but i can’t promise that i’m far from it. i’d still kill a man for cigarette, D Bm G but with friends like you, who needs homicide? D Bm G so this song goes out to all our homies locked down. D Bm G come on back now, we need you around. D Bm G that judge, he doesn’t know what he’s done. D Bm G no, judges never know the things they do. how could they? [Outro] D Bm A G x4 end on D
