            Cm
I've been depressed since you left,
tried to the fill the hole with wine
             G#
Stopped the drugs when she came,
cleaned my act up overnight
        Cm
If you reach with no reply,
I'll see you when I see you, man
          G#
You can't talk me through
the fall if we don't know if I can land
          Cm
I try to grow but the past,
it tears me down to size
          G#
Tell the world how to process
but don't take the same advice
     Cm
I remember what I say, that
the morning's filled with fear
             G#
Can't get a handle of my grief
when every memory turns to tears

                 D#   A#                G#
It's been a long year and we're not even halfway
there

Chorus:
                      Cm              D#
Is this the ending of our youth when pain
             G#
starts taking over
                   A#    D#               G#
Just don't know if I can ever just let it go
                      Cm                 D#
Everything's falling apart, when love is real
                G#
there's never closure
                          A#          D#
I guess it's all part of life, but I can't
               G#
help but feel low

             Fm                  D#/G        G#
We spend our youth with arms and hearts wide open
             Fm               D#/G
And then the dark gets in and that's
            G#
the end of youth

I've been lost since the teens,
but pretend it's all alright
All my ups led to falls
that led to trying to end my life
Just a boy at the start,
they lent on like a man
You were meant to be my friend
and not to take all that you can
Disengaged to create,
try to reinvent the wheel
No one knows what they want,
so I just give you what I feel
If I slip and get high,
I know the low is always near
When I'm down, I never see you,
when I'm up, you all appear

It's been a long year and we're not even
halfway there

Chorus

We spend our youth with arms and hearts wide open
And then the dark gets in and
that's the end of youth

It's been a long year and we're not even
halfway there

Chorus

We spend our youth with arms
and hearts wide open
And then the dark gets in and
that's the end of youth
We spend our youth with arms
and hearts wide open
And then the dark gets in and
that's the end of youth
