Keep Your Heart Young - Brandi Carlile
Tuned Down a Half Step
[Intro]
G
[Verse]
   G                                  C           G
My grandpa gave me a wheat penny and I kept it in my pocket
G                                  D
I had big plans in my back yard to build me a space rocket
  G                                        C                   G
I talked to my brother on a fake CB that I made from a tic-tac box
  G                                             D            G
I packed my snowballs nice and tight and in the middle I put rocks
[Pre-Chorus]
C                                                          G
Don’t trade in your tic-tac box for a ball on the end of a chain
G                                                   D     D
Don’t go spending Grandpa’s pennies buying into the game
[Chorus]
          C               G
You gotta keep your heart young
D                     Em
Don’t go growin old before your time has come
               C                  G
You can’t take back what you have done
             D               G
You’ve gotta keep your heart young
[Verse]
    G                                     C                  G
Dad took the wheels off of my bike and he pushed me down the hill
G                                D
But speed got the best of me and I took my first spill
G                              C            G
That was back when alcohol was only used on cuts
   G                                            D                 G
It stung like hell so I jerked my leg and momma said it’d give me guts
[Pre-Chorus]
C                                                          G
Don’t trade in your tic-tac box for a ball on the end of a chain
G                                                   D
Don’t go spending Grandpa’s pennies buying into the game
[Chorus]
          C               G
You gotta keep your heart young
D                     Em
Don’t go growin old before your time has come
               C                  G
You can’t take back what you have done
             D               G
You’ve gotta keep your heart young
[Verse]
   G                                      C           G
So take a picture of the one you love and put it in a locket
G                                   D
Go dig up your time capsule and the blueprints for your rocket
G                                C                G
Keep in touch on a fake CB, that same old tic-tac box
G                                                  D                  G
Pack your snowballs a little less tight but in the middle - still put rocks
[Chorus]
    C               G
And keep your heart young
D                     Em
Don’t go growin old before your time has come
               C                  G
You can’t take back what you have done
             D               G
You’ve gotta keep your heart young
[Outro]
          C               G
You gotta keep your heart young
    D
Sometimes you don’t die quick
     Em
Just like you wished you’d done
       C                G
Though love is a loaded gun
             D               G
You’ve gotta keep your heart young
               C                  G       C
You can’t take back what you have done is done
             D               G      Am G
You’ve gotta keep your heart young
