E             B F#                 B
Moving forward,  using all my breath,
E                     B      F#                    B
"I'll make it up to you," is all I should have said.
E             B        F#                    B
Mom and Dad, looked me right between the eyes,
         E                B  F#
Then I awoke, a blinding light.

                          E
Can't fight against the youth! (Hey!)
     B          F#
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

       G#m    F#         E
Can't fight against the youth! (Hey!)
     B         F#
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
      G#m     F#          E
Can't fight against the youth! (Hey!)
        B              F#
You'll never take us alive!
Can't fight against the youth!

Late December, 1995
And though I had the thoughts, no one ever heard them right
Fought resistance nearly my entire life
Then I awoke, a blinding light

Chorus

B F#                                    G#m
(Never gonna take us, never gonna break us.)
B F#                                           G#m
(Futures open wide, and the past is all behind us.)
B F#                                    G#m
(Never gonna take us, never gonna break us.)
