EThe way your word'S hanging on moments suspended 
C#mwhen you say something that you can’t take back again
BA heavy hush takes hold, Athe quiet won’t let go
EI was there watching you, watching me missing you
C#mI’ve been lying and I don’t know why I do
BMaybe the truth hurts so Ait’s easier not to know
C#mWonder why does it hurts to try when our Blast goodbyes never what we’re here forA  
[Chorus]
  ESo sing it back if you’re with me, BI wanna hear how your heart speaks
   C#mWhile were young, while were young 
  AThis should be the Btime of our lives
  EAnd I’ve been so lost without you, Bare you lost without me too?
   C#mWhile were young, while were young 
  AThis should be the Btime of our lives
