[Verse 1]
         Dm
They had tongues like guns

      F
I had nowhere to run

           C                G
Yeah, this world can get so lonely

          Dm
Yeah, the paper and pen

        F
Were my two best friends

          C              G
Cause the sad songs understood me

    Dm        F                  C               G
The irony and all my dreams were keeping me from sleeping

              Dm                     F
Cause there's something so fun being young and being dumb

             C             G
Cause you're not afraid of feeling
[Pre-Chorus]

They had eyes like knives

      F
I had nowhere to hide

           C                 G
Yeah, this world can cut you open

            Dm
But all the scars they prove

       F
That I fought my way through

      C               G
So, I always keep 'em showing

      Dm        F
Cause sanity is suicide

    C             G
And crazy are the legends

               Dm
But, yeah, I'd rather have fun

Being young and being dumb
