[Verse 1]
It's the Dsad eyed C#m7goodbye Bm7yesterday's moments I'll reGmemberA7  
It's the Dbleak street C#m7weak kneed Bm7partings I reGcallA7  
It's the Dmistier mist, the C#hazier days
The Bm7brighter sun, and the Aeasier lays
There's Gall the more reason for Dlaughing and crying
When you're Dmaj7/Ayounger and life isn't Atoo hard at all.

[Verse 2]
It's the Dfantastic drowse of thC#m7e afternoon Sundays tBm7hat bored you to rages of tearsG  A7  
The unDending pleadings to C#m7waste all your good times on tBm7houghts of your middle aged yearGsA7  
It's the verDtical hold of the C#things that you're told
For the eBm7veryday hero, it Aall turns to zero
And there's Gall the more reason for Dliving or dying
When you're Dmaj7/Ayoung and your troubles are aAll very small

[Break]
EOut here on the streets G#we'd gather and meet
And Ascuff up the sidewalks with Cendlessly Drestless feet
EHalf of the timG#e we'd broaden our minds Amore in the pool halls
Than we Cdid in the Dschool halls.
EWith the downtown G#chewing gum bums
AWatching the nightlife, the F#lights and the Dfun.A

DI never wanted to be the C#m7boy next doorBm7, always thought I'd be Gsomething moreA7  
DIt ain't easy for a sC#m7malltown boy, Bm7it ain't easy at allG  A7  
DThinking it right, C#doing it wrong, Bm7it's easier from an armcAhair
GWaves of alternatives waDsh over my sleepiness
Dmaj7/AHave my eggs poached for breakfast AI guess.
