The Menzingers – Farewell Youth (Guitar Acoustic)

G    C    G
PA turnpike,

                D
Northbound on a dark night,

G            C    G
Driving into Scranton,

                 D
For a difficult occasion,

                        Em   G
When you first got your license,

                      D
We were nowhere to be found,

                    Em       G
I was just a little kid back then,

                     D
But you let me hang around,

                G             D
But we're older now, farewell youth,

             Em                 C
I'm afraid I hardly got to know you,

      G              D                   C
I was always hanging out with the older kids,

G           D               Em              C
Always in a rush, but I was never sure from what,

       G             D                   C     G
I was always hanging out with the older kids,

G                     C       G
The grief starts when bumping in,

                       D
To old friends turned acquaintances,

            G        C     G
We stumble round the small talk,

                            D
We break the silence with a flask I brought,

                   Em     G
But once we wеre inseparable,

                       D
Wе were the only punks in town,

                     Em     G
Spent every weekend raisin' hell,

                         D
In the basement of your parents house,

                G             D
But we're older now, farewell youth,

              Em                C
I'm afraid I hardly got to know you,

      G              D                  C
I was always hanging out with the older kids,

G           D               Em              C
Always in a rush, but I was never sure from what,

       G             D             C
I was always hanging out with the older kids,

             Am
In someones apartment,

               C
Getting fucked up,

   G
To all our favorite records,

     Em
Drinking the cheap stuff,

                  Am
We couldn't get enough,

           C
Of growing up,

                                G
I saw my childhood flash before me,

        C                   Am
In the death of your closed eyes,

        C                 G
At your Irish wake, we celebrate,

    C            D
By trying not to cry,

G         D                  Em                C
Farewell youth, I'm afraid I hardly got to know you,

      G              D                  C
I was always hanging out with the older kids,

G            D               Em             C
Always in a rush, but I was never sure from what,

       G             D                  C
I was always hanging out with the older kids,

         G
Farewell youth, farewell youth...
