[Intro]
D G D G
[Verse 1]
D
We're all kicking, we're all screaming
G A
We're all sleeping at the wheel
D
We're all California dreaming,
G A
Playing house, and paying bills
D
We're all going through the motions,
G A
Just following the script
D
If we don't stop and smell the ocean boys,
G A
We might just miss our ship
Bm G A
Every last heart breaks when the summer snapshot fades
Bm G A
Every teenage kiss ends way too soon
[Chorus]
D
It don't matter how long we're here
G A
It's never gonna be long enough
D
It ain't about the amount of years
G A
It's about the amount of love
D G A
It don't matter if you're eighteen, forty-five or ninety-one
Bm A G
We're all waiting for our moment in the sun
D
Everybody dies young
G D G
Oh yeah, everybody dies young
[Verse 2]
D
From the moment that we're born
G A
Yeah, we start running out of sand
D
You can't bargain with the mirror,
G A
You can't ever fight the hands
Bm G A
Of time flies by, like the 4th of July sky
Bm G A
When the morning sun high fives the moon
[Chorus]
D
It don't matter how long we're here
G A
It's never gonna be long enough
D
It ain't about the amount of years
G A
It's about the amount of love
D G A
It don't matter if you're eighteen, forty-five or ninety-one
Bm A G
While we're here we oughta have a little fun
D
'Cause everybody dies young
G D G
Oh yeah, everybody dies young
[Bridge]
D G A
You only get one life, so you gotta live it
D G A
You only get one heart, so you better give it
D G A
You only get one life, so you gotta live it up
D
You only get one heart, one heart
G A
So you gotta get to givin' it up
[Chorus]
D
It don't matter how long we're here
G A
It's never gonna be long enough
D
It ain't about the amount of years
G A
It's about the amount of love
D G A
It don't matter if you're eighteen, forty-five or ninety-one
Bm A G
No matter what we do, we're never done
D
Everybody dies young
G D G
Oh yeah, everybody dies young
[End on]
D
