    C                                Am
So far away from knowing where I am going
       Fmaj7                       Am G
I am trying hard to find out who I am
     C                                    Am
They all see that I don't know what I am doing
Fmaj7                          Am G
I say they don't hardly understand

Dm                G
Why can't they remember
E                     A
What I will never forget
             Dm          G
How these dreams come undone
              Am
When you're young

Chorus:
Am   C            Fmaj7            G
You give what you give cause they make you
Am      C         Fmaj7            G
Trapped inside a place that won't take you
Am    C         Fmaj7          G
they want you to be what they make you
     Am      G         Am
It's already over and done

Everything seems perfect (everything seems perfect)
Everything's OK (everything's OK)
It will all get better now (get better now)
At least that's what they say
But I don't see it coming

Chorus:
You give what you give cause they make you
Trapped inside a place that won't take you
And they want you to be what they make you
It's already over and done
When you're young

                       Am
Days really just seem longer
C                          F
They say it's better this way
Dm                     G
I hope one day I am stronger than I feel
      Am
And I hope it feels different than today

Chorus:
You give what you give cause they make you
Trapped inside a place that won't take you
And they want you to be what they make you
It's already over and done
It's already over and done
It's already over and done
When you're young


Why can't they remember
What I'll never forget
How these dreams can come undone
When you're young
