Young Drunk

• G

G                       D 
one day there will come a time when 
     Em                  Bm                 C 
the person you are named after dies 
                  D/G                              G              
and all of a sudden you're the only one 
        
left 

        G                         D                Em 
and out of something as insincere as pride 
                      Bm                 C 
you'll change the way you turned on time 
                                  D 
to remember the smiles 
                                       G               D 
as we stood out front of the little church 
Em                Bm                   C 
the traffic just close enough to drown out 

whatever we heard the family say 
             D 
as they waved the hearse away 

      G 
and tonight i'm getting young 
           C 
drunk 
                                         Em 
walking down the streets where i grew up 
                                    D 
knowing that they're to blame it 
                          C                  G 
all the red brick fences look the same 


i'm getting young 
         C 
drunk 
                                             Em 
walking round the streets where i grew up 
                                    D 
knowing that they're to blame it 
                       C                     G 
all the red brick fences look the same 
G C Em D  
whoa oh 

       G                                D 
and all alone in the suburbs 
                                              C                  
i can make as much noise as i want 
                                           D 
without disturbing more than the wind 
                        
in the trees and 
 G                      D 
passing cars and security lights 
Em                        Bm 
guide my way home through the night 
       C 
i feel safe here 
D                                                                    C 
and the neighbours aren't close enough to hate me 



      G 
and tonight i'm getting young 
           C 
drunk 
                                         Em 
walking down the streets where i grew up 
                                    D 
knowing that they're to blame it 
                        C                    G 
all the red brick fences look the same 


i'm getting young 
         C 
drunk 
                                             Em 
walking round the streets where i grew up 
                                    D 
knowing that they're to blame it 
                        C                    G 
all the red brick fences look the same 
G C Em D  
whoa oh 


            G 
and i've finally found a home 
      D                                                                Em 
in a handful of people i was lucky enough to bump into 
                D                               G       
we act like pessimists but we're in love with it 


      G 
and I?m in love with you 
           D 
and our tiny bed in the upstairs front room 
       Em 
of a rundown terrace house 
            D 
which is obviously perfect as it sounds 
G            D 
even in the summer when the 
Em                            Bm                 C 
cardboard window that you tape on everyday 
                                  D                      
falls out and wakes us up  



      G 
and tonight i'm getting young 
           C 
drunk 
                                         Em 
walking round the streets where i grew up 
                                    D 
knowing that they're to blame it 
                         C                   G 
all the red brick fences look the same 


i'm getting young 
         C 
drunk 
                                             Em 
walking round the streets where i grew up 
                                    D 
knowing that they're to blame it 
                        C                    G 
all the red brick fences look the same 
G C Em D  
whoa oh
