CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: C
I tried to die young,
really I tried
But the
voice deep inside would not
let me succumb
I
laugh at the
things that I’ve
done
When I
tried to die
young
I took a plane through the dawn, threw
myself on the tracks
But the
train didn’t come and I
had to walk back
I jumped
into the whirlpool, thought I’d
get sucked in
I just kept
spinning around ’til I
learned how to swim and I
Tried to die young,
boy, did I try
But the
voice deep inside would not
let me succumb
And I
laugh at the
things I’ve
done
When I
tried to die
young
Well, my
heart kept on breaking and the
crack sought the edge
Where the
hand of a shadow grabbed the
hand in my head
There were
demons, I know them and they
still come by
But
we’ve become friends, my
demons and I
Well I
tried to die young,
really I tried
But the
voice deep inside would not
let me succumb
And I
laugh at the
things I’ve
done
When I
tried to die
young
I took a
razor to the
wrist of reali
ty
Hell-
bent on my
way toward futili
ty
I’ve got a
reason to be
lieve that it
won’t go on for
ever
But
reason to the heart, is a
message undelivered
Ahhh, I
tried to die young, really,
really I tried
But the
voice deep inside would not
let me succumb
And I
laugh at the
things I’ve
done
When I
tried to die
young
Now I
’m the old girl I never
thought I’d become
“Does it
get any better?”, asks the little
girl in my song
I’m still
learning the answers, so I make up
things you see
She laughs, “You’re
still the same and you’ll
never kill me!”
Oh, I
tried to die young,
really I tried
But the
voice deep inside would not
let me succumb
And I
laugh at the
things I’ve
done
When I
tried to die
young
OUTRO: (## repeat and adlib to end ##)
Oh, I
laugh at the
things I’ve
done
Well, I
laugh at the
things I’ve
done
I
laugh at the
things I’ve
done
When I
tried to die
young
