A                               F#
I know you've been hurtin' for weeks
               Bm                          E
You stayed up late and cried yourself to sleep
           C#                             F#m
And it's okay if you don't like what you see
             Bm                    E
You've only just begun and you're good enough
        A                            F#
And I know it doesn't help with the pain
             Bm                          E
But have you ever tried to dance in the rain?
               C#                           F#m
You're not the only one who's feelin' this way
            Bm
So go get crazy love

Chorus:
              E                A
While you're young, go on and make mistakes
           C#
Give your heart a break
       F#m                  B
And remember when life goes on (It goes on!)
        Bm                    E
Try to take every moment you got before it's gone

Don't bury your head in the sand
I know your friends can't even understand
Wish I could go back and hold your hand
And we'd go crazy, love

Chorus:
While you're young, go on and make mistakes
Give your heart a break
And remember when life goes on (It goes on)
Try to take every moment you got before it's gone

A
Don't worry, girl
C#m                    Bm
Don't worry your life away
E
Before it's gone
A
Don't worry, girl
C#m                    Bm
Don't worry your life away
E
Before it's gone

        A                            F#
And I know it doesn't help with the pain
             Bm                          E
But have you ever tried to dance in the rain?
               C#                           F#m
You're not the only one who's feelin' this way
            Bm
So go get crazy love

Chorus:
While you're young, go on and make mistakes
Give your heart a break
And remember when life goes on (It goes on)
Try to take every moment you got before it's gone

[Post-Chorus]
Don't worry, girl
Don't worry your life away, no, no (Before it's gone)
Don't worry, girl
Don't worry your life away, mm (Before it's gone)
