We Are Young

Verse 1: 

C 
Give me a second 

I need to get my story straight 
     Am 
My friends are in the bathroom, 

Getting higher than the Empire State. 
    F 
My lover, she is waiting for me 

Just across the bar 
               Dm 
My seats been taken by some sunglasses 
G 
Asking about a scar and, 
C 
I know I gave it to you months ago 
Am 
I know you're trying to forget 
       F 
But between the drinks and subtle things 

The holes in my apologies, you know 
Dm                         G 
I'm trying hard to take it back 

Pre-Chorus 

              F 
So if by the time 
         G 
The bar closes 
         C       Am        F 
And you feel like falling down 
       F       G 
I'll carry you home... 

 
  C              Am 
Tonight, we are young 
                           F 
So let's set the world on fire 

We can burn brighter 
          G 
Than the sun (2x) 
 

       C 
Now I know that I'm not 

All that you got 
   Am 
I guess that I 

I just thought 
                                      F 
Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart 

But our friends are back 

So let's raise a toast 
Dm                       G 
Cause I found someone to carry me home 

 
  C              Am 
Tonight, we are young 
                           F 
So let's set the world on fire 

We can burn brighter 
          G 
Than the sun (2x) 
 

C                 F 
Carry me home tonight 
     C                G 
Just carry me home tonight 
C               F 
Carry me home tonight 
      C              G 
Just carry me home tonight 

 
  C              Am 
Tonight, we are young 
                           F 
So let's set the world on fire 

We can burn brighter 
          G 
Than the sun (2x) 



Pre-Chorus 

              F 
So if by the time 
         G 
The bar closes 
         C       Am        F 
And you feel like falling down 
       F       G 
I'll carry you home...
