Melanie – I Tried To Die Young (Guitar)

                      Dm7
[tab]        F                           C             
But the voice deep inside would not let me succumb 

  Am           G                F   
I laugh at the things that I've done

       G            C    
When I tried to die young 

                                       Am               
I took a plane through the dawn, threw myself on the tracks

        F                       G             
But the train didn't come and I had to walk back 

         C                               Am             
I jumped into the whirlpool, thought I'd get sucked in

            F                      G                       
I just kept spinning around 'til I learned how to swim and I

C                   Dm7            
Tried to die young, boy, did I try

        F                           C            
But the voice deep inside would not let me succumb

      Am           G           F   
And I laugh at the things I've done

       G            C    
When I tried to die young 

         C                              Am                   
Well, my heart kept on breaking and the crack sought the edge

          F                            G               
Where the hand of a shadow grabbed the hand in my head 

           C                            Am            
There were demons, I know them and they still come by

    F                        G           
But we've become friends, my demons and I 

       C                   Dm7   
Well I tried to die young, really I tried

        F                           C             
But the voice deep inside would not let me succumb 

      Am           G           F   
And I laugh at the things I've done

       G            C   
When I tried to die young 

         Am           Em7           F    G      
I took a razor to the wrist of reality

     Am         Em7              F    G     
Hell-bent on my way toward futility 

           Am          Em7           F              G      
I've got a reason to believe that it won't go on forever

    F                         G                     
But reason to the heart, is a message undelivered   

         C                           Dm7     
Ahhh,  I tried to die young, really, really I tried

        F                           C            
But the voice deep inside would not let me succumb

      Am           G           F    
And I laugh at the things I've done

       G            C         
When I tried to die young

     C                       Am   
Now I'm the old girl I never thought I'd become   

         F                                 G               
"Does it get any better?", asks the little girl in my song 

          C                                  Am                  
I'm still learning the answers, so I make up things you see   

                    F                         G            
She laughs, "You're still the same and you'll never kill me!"

      C                   Dm7   
Oh, I tried to die young, really I tried

        F                           C            
But the voice deep inside would not let me succumb

      Am           G           F    
And I laugh at the things I've done

       G            C     
When I tried to die young 

      Am           Em7         F      G   
Oh, I laugh at the things I've done

        Am           Em7         F     G   
Well, I laugh at the things I've done

  Am           G           F   
I laugh at the things I've done

       G            C      Dm7  F  C  Dm7  F  C    
When I tried to die young
