--------------------------------- 7. A YOUTH WRITTEN IN FIRE [Intro] Am - Am7 Em7 Am - Am7 Em7 Am - Am7 Em7 [Verse]
Am           Am7   Em7          Am    Am7 Em7
Remember the first time we got high

Am              Am7 Em7        Am   Am7 Em7
We felt like the rabid lion's roar

Am Am7  Em7      Am  Am7  Em7
We were elastic and then we were healed

Am            Am7  Em7         Am  Am7 Em7
Healed in the blinking of an eye

Am                Am7  Em7           Am Am7 Em7
And then when the dawn cracked over us

Am               Am7 Em7           Am Am7 Em7
The day wouldn't hit us hard at all

Am       Am7  Em7        Am    Am7   Em7
We could ride the morning into night again

Am          Am7  Em7               Am Am7 Em7
We knew the days were there to waste
[Chorus]
    G
But these days

           F      Em
That light hit so heavy

    G
And those days

            F     Em
Feel like another life

Am                  G
This isn't like the first time anymore

Em                          F
And I've been chasing after all

Am                 G
Digging for the lost memories

Em                      F
Of our youth written in fire

Am                      G
You always said it's not too late for me

Em                         F
I sure am listening to you now

Am                 G
Leaving me so I can trust myself

Em                                   F
'Cause there's a first time for that too
[Verse]
Am           Am7   Em7          Am
Remember the first time that we kissed

               Am7 Em7
It felt like a planet forming

Am               Am7  Em7       Am
But we were just novices at this

                Am7 Em7
It felt like an ancient wisdom

Am        Am7  Em7
There was lightning then and those

Am        Am7 Em7
Songs were [?] true

Am           Am7  Em7      Am      Am7 Em7
No wonder I still think so much about you
[Chorus]
    G
But these days

         F         Em
My heart feels too heavy

    G
And those days

            F      Em
Are someone else's life
Am G Em F Am G Em F
Am                  G
This isn't like the first time anymore

Em                          F
And I've been chasing after all

Am                 G
Digging for the lost memories

Em                      F
Of our youth written in fire

Am                      G
You always said it's not too late for me

Em                         F
I sure am listening to you now

Am                 G
Leaving me so I can trust myself

Em                                   F
'Cause there's a first time for that too
Am G Em F Am G Em F
