When You Were Young

• C#

William plays this songs differently from time to time.  
On the record I believe he plays it in  
C# G# C# F# G# C# tuning (DADGAD lowered one semi-tone).  
On some live versions he plays it in standard tuning. 
This tab is a simplified version, very easy to play, 
written in DADGAD. If you want to play along with the record  
you will need to lower the whole tuning one semi-tone. Have fun!

Verse 

Bm* G* 
15 months and they would 
D*           A* 
Drag you from your throne 
Bm*            G*             A* A* 
But you ain't got no place to go 
Bm*        G*            
You're the bad one from the  
D*           A* 
day you were born 
        Bm*         G*                 A* A* 
You can run I don't think that you can hide 

Have you found the knife and  
cigarettes inside  
of your locker with your books? 
Smoking weed with Joe and  
Rock inside his house 
You can run I don't think that you can hide 

G*         Bm*              A* A* 
Mom wants you to come back home 
G*       Bm*            A*              G* 
She keeps crying when I call her on the phone 
G**       Bm*                A* A* 
Won't you give this thing a chance? 
        Bm*           G*                 A* A* 
You were not what you were When you were young 
        Bm*           G*                 A* A* 
You were not what you were When you were young 

Verse 
I was fucked up when you  
needed me the most 
Trying to starve myself to death 
I still feel like I did  
something always wrong 
You can run I don't think that you can hide 

Chorus 
Mom wants you to come back home 
She keeps crying when I call her on the phone 
Won't you give this things a chance? 
Cause you were not what you were When you were young 
You were not what you were When you were young
