[F]
I'm too young to die, gonna live forever.
I just wanna talk to a [C] footman who I've [G] just met at [F] seventeen.
One thing that I know is [G] that you don't [Am] know a [F] thing about me.
You were the young, [Am] dumb, chosen [C] one, now you [G] shake your head [F] and say,
[C] [G] Kids [Am] these [E] days, [F] [Bb]
[Am] [G] [F] [Bb]
[Am] we [G] really were on the [F] lost,
When [Bb] someone emailed [Am] us all, [G] [F]
wasted all this time.
Not to last forever, maybe I should give up,
But [C] goodbye would change [G] my entire [F] life.
One thing that I [Am] know is [G] that you [Am] don't know a [F] thing about me.
I am the [Am] young, dumb, chosen [C] one, who's [G] in the [F] loveliest way.
[C] [G] Kids [F] these [Am] days,
[G] [Am]
[F]
We [Am] really knew that we [C] were almost through,
[F] [G]
[Am] We had the [E] lessons of [F] Jewish murder [Bb] on the [Am] rise,
And I [G] couldn't see the [F] end, well [Bb] there's no hiding.
[Am] Tell me [G] that I'm pretty, [F] tell [Bb] me that I'm [Am] nice,
I know [G] you can see [F] it in my eyes.
[Em] You can see [F] it in my
[Em] eyes.
You can see it in [F] my [Em] eyes.
See [F] it in my [Em] eyes.
[F] Everybody [G] tries, tries to be [F] somebody.
[G] To be [F] somebody's wet dream, [G] pumpkin, golden boy, new [F] toy,
Mirror, mirror on the wall, what's [G] the meaning of [F] it all?
[C] [G] Life's a lie, [F] you know that.
[C] [G] Kids [F] these days,
[C] [G] Kids [F] these days,
[C] [G] Kids [F] these [C] days.
