This is the chords of Farewell Youth by The Menzingers on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.
[Verse 1]
B C#m E F#
PA turnpike, northbound on a dark night
B C#m E F#
Driving into Scranton for a difficult occasion
E D#/E E C#m
When you first got your license we were nowhere to be found
E D#/E E F#
I was just a little kid back then but you let me hang around
B
But we\’re older now
[Chorus]
F# G#m E
Farewell youth, I\’m afraid I hardly got to know you
B F# E
I was always hanging out with the older kids
B F# G#m E
Always in a rush, but I was never sure from what
B F# E
I was always hanging out with the older kids
[Verse 2]
B C#m E F#
The grief starts when bumping into friends turned acquaintances
B C#m
We stumble around the small talk
E F#
We break the silence with Jameson
E D#/E
But once we were inseparable
E C#m
We were the only punks in town
E D#/E E F#
We spent every weekend raisin\’ hell in the basement of your parents house
B
But we\’re older now
[Chorus]
F# G#m E
Farewell youth, I\’m afraid I hardly got to know you
B F# E
I was always hanging out with the older kids
B F# G#m E
Always in a rush, but I was never sure from what
B F# E
I was always hanging out with the older kids
[Bridge]
C#m E
In someone\’s apartment, getting fked up
B G#m
To all our favorite records, drinking the cheap stuff
C#m E
We couldn\’t get enough of growing up
E D#/E E C#
I saw my childhood flash before me in the death of your closed eyes
E D#/E E F#
At your Irish wake we celebrate by trying not to cry
[Chorus]
B F# G#m E
Farewell youth, I\’m afraid I hardly got to know you
B F# E
I was always hanging out with the older kids
B F# G#m E
Always in a rush, but I was never sure from what
B F# E
I was always hanging out with the older kids
[Outro]
B F#
Farewell youth
G#m E
Farewell youth
B F# G#m E
Farewell youth, I\’m afraid I hardly got to know you
B F#
Farewell youth
G#m E
Farewell youth
B F# G#m E
Farewell youth, I\’m afraid I hardly got to know you
B F# E
Because I was always hanging out with the older kids
