D     E                                                     F#m7
Young, we were so young when we thought that we knew how to love
 E                                           D     E
Fought about anything, everything led to dysfunction
                               F#m7                       A
But we just gotta own that shit, don't let it go like this

Maybe we can go from this yeah

Chorus:
D                                E
We both know I go too far like when I wrecked your car
   F#m7                                E
And almost fought your father when he pushed me in the yard
    D                                       E
And all those nights we snuck out, like to meet up at the bar
F#m7                                    A
Don't worry my love, we're learning to love
                               D E F#m7 E
But it's hard when you're young

                                D E F#m7 E
Yeah it's hard when you're young

Caught, we were caught up in the high, it was better than drugs
Too high to see that it would all lead to destruction
At least we both know that shit
We just gotta own that shit
I hope that we can grow from this, yeah

Chorus

                                D E F#m7
Yeah it's hard when you're young
 E
Yeah, yeah it's hard when you're young

Chorus

I'm calling you up, you tell me it's over
Say what you want, but it's hard when you're young
I'm calling you up, you tell me it's over
You say what you want, but it's hard when you're young
I'm calling you up, you tell me it's over
You say what you want, but it's hard when you're young

Yeah, it's hard when you're young
Yeah, it's hard when you're young
Yeah, oh, yeah, it's hard when you're young
I'm calling you up, you tell me it's over
You say what you want, but it's hard when you're young
I'm calling you up, you tell me it's over
You say what you want, but it's hard when you're young
