Capo 3rd fret
[Intro]
C  F
[Verse 1]
  CI wasn’t born with the rich blood, I started out with plenty of nothing at aFll
I got stuck in the thick mud, the flash flood punk rock and the alcohCol
I was raised on a re-run, I was bored to death so I started a bFand
Cut my teeth on a safety dance, my attention span never stood a chCance
[Pre-Chorus 1]
It’s Dmtoo late
Can you forFgive me now?
[Chorus 1]
You can never Ckill my high
I’m the ink and you’re the headline (Goh)
FBlame it on blame it on my youth
FBlame it on blame it on my youth
GYou can never Cblock my shine
I've been lost since 1999 (Goh)
FBlame it on blame it on my youth
FBlame it on blame it on my youthG  
[Verse 2]
  CI wasn’t made for the good life, I ended up getting stuck on the side of the rFoad
I tripped and fell on hard times, the tough breaks are the only kind I kCnow
I was left on a door step, I was scared to death with nowhere to gFo
Cut myself on the neighbor’s fence, that I hopped as the cops tried to take me iCn

[Intro]

C F

[Verse 1]

C F

I wasn’t born with the rich blood, I started out with plenty of nothing at all

I got stuck in the thick mud, the flash flood punk rock and the alcohol

I was raised on a re-run, I was bored to death so I started a band

Cut my teeth on a safety dance, my attention span never stood a chance

[Pre-Chorus 1]

It’s too late

Can you forgive me now?

[Chorus 1]

You can never kill my high

I’m the ink and you’re the headline (oh)

Blame it on blame it on my youth

G C

You can never block my shine

I've been lost since 1999 (oh)

Blame it on blame it on my youth

F G

Blame it on blame it on my youth

[Verse 2]

C F

I wasn’t made for the good life, I ended up getting stuck on the side of the road

I tripped and fell on hard times, the tough breaks are the only kind I know

I was left on a door step, I was scared to death with nowhere to go

Cut myself on the neighbor’s fence, that I hopped as the cops tried to take me in

[Pre-Chorus 2]

It’s too late

Can you forgive me now?

[Chorus 2]

You can never kill my high

I’m the ink and you’re the headline (oh)

Blame it on blame it on my youth

You can never block my shine

I've been lost since 1999 (oh)

Blame it on blame it on my youth

You can never kill my high

You can never block my shine

I've been lost since 1999 (oh)

Blame it on blame it on my youth
