C It keeps me awake The look on your face G The moment you heard the news Dm You're screaming inside And frozen in time F You did all that you could do C The game was rigged, the ref got tricked G The wrong ones think they’re right Dm F You were outnumbered — this time
[Chorus]
C But only the young G Only the young Dm Only the young F C G Only the young can run Dm F Can run, so run C And run, and run
[Verse 2]
C So every day now You brace for the sound G You've only heard on TV Dm You go to class, scared F Wondering where the best hiding spot would be C And the big bad man and his big bad clan G Their hands are stained with red Dm F Oh, how quickly, they forget
[Pre-Chorus]
F They aren't gonna help us Am Too busy helping themselves F They aren't gonna change this Am We gotta do it ourselves F They think that it's over Dm But it's just begun
[Chorus]
F Only one thing can save us C Only the young (Only the young) G Only the young (Only the young) Dm Only the young (Only the young) F Only the young
[Post-Chorus]
C Only the young (Only the young) G Only the young (Only the young) Dm Only the young (Only the young) F Only the young C Only the young (Only the young) (Don’t say you're too tired to fight It's just a matter of time Up there's the finish line) G Only the young (Only the young) Dm Only the young (Only the young) F Only the young C Can run C Don’t say you're too tired to fight G It's just a matter of time (Can run) Dm Up there's the finish line F So run, and run, and run C Don’t say you're too tired to fight G It's just a matter of time (So run) Dm Up there's the finish line F And run, and run, and run
