When You Were Young

[Intro]

E*

 

[Verse 1]

You sit there in your heartache

Waiting on some beautiful boy to

To save you from your old ways

You play forgiveness

Watch it now, here he comes

 

[Chorus]

He doesn't look a thing like Je-sus

But he talks like a gentleman

Like you imagined

When you were young

 

[Verse 2]

Can we climb this mountain

I don't know

Higher now than e-ver before

I know we can make it if we take it slow

Let's take it easy

Easy now, watch it go

 

[Chorus]

We're burning down the highway sky-line

On the back of a hurricane

That started turning

When you were young

When you were young

 

[Verse 3]

And sometimes you close your eyes

And see the place where you used to live

When you were young

 

[Instrumental]

 

 

[Bridge]

The say the devil's water, it ain't so sweet

You don't have to drink right now

But you can dip your feet

Every once in a... little while

 

[Instrumental]

 

[Verse 4]

You sit there in your heartache

Waiting on some beautiful boy to

To save you from your old ways

You play forgiveness

Watch it now, here he comes

 

[Chorus]

He doesn't look a thing like Jesus

But he talks like a gentleman

Like you imagined

When you were young

(talks like a gentleman)

(like you imagined)

When you were young

 

[Outro]

I said he doesn't look a thing like Jesus

He doesn't look a thing like Jesus

But more than you'll ever know
