I drDeamed I sCaw the ocGean and Dyou upon the shore
I kDnew yoCu were Gwaiting Dto feel something more
I sDaid, "AlCl of Gthis is Dours my love. Come and swim into my stars my love."

And Dwe learCned Gto Dhold our heads up high in disgrace
LauDghing Cfrom Gthe Dpower lines, racing through the landmines
NeDver a mComent Gof doDubt, dancing through the slaughterhouse
StumCbling througDh pleasures much too fast
WhCite knuckle Dthat is golden and strychnine past
YoCuth is Ajust a treasure...

D C G D

I dreamed I saw the ocean and you upon the shore

D C G D

I knew you were waiting to feel something more

D C G D

I said, "All of this is ours my love. Come and swim into my stars my love."

D C G D

And we walked into the joint like we owned the place

D C G D

And we learned to hold our heads up high in disgrace

D C G D

Laughing from the power lines, racing through the landmines

D C G D

Never a moment of doubt, dancing through the slaughterhouse

C D

Stumbling through pleasures much too fast

C D

White knuckle that is golden and strychnine past

C A

Youth is just a treasure...

D C G D

We recklessly ran, so much stronger than the places we'd gone or the waves we rode upon

D C G D

And we shined on despite all the laws, And we poured our guts into the cause

And we learned all that burns cannot last

C D

Stumbling through our borders much too fast

C D

White knuckle that golden and strychnine past

Youth is just a torture...
