INTRO
D G A G
D G A G
i was born a bitter old man who got his heart broken in catalonia, 1936.
D G
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.
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 Em D G A G
now i feel younger every day, and i just hope i die younger than i am.
D
i can hear you from a dozen states away
G A G D
shivering through a dope sick morning of no money left and nothing else to steal.
D G A
lord only knows that i�ve had my share, because there were years when i was ready to die,
G D
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.
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 Em D G A G
now i feel younger every day, and i just hope i die younger than i am.
D A G
but now living�s a struggle, except when it isn�t. (yeah),
D A G
i woke up this morning and i wasn�t in prison,
D A G
but i can�t promise that i�m far from it.
i�d still kill a man for cigarette,
D A G
but with friends like you, who needs homicide?
D A G
so this song goes out to all our homies locked down.
D A G
come on back now, we need you around.
D A G
that judge, he doesn�t know what he�s done.
D A G
no, judges never know the things they do. how could they?
