G                          Dm          A  
Psychodelicate girl - come out to play
C                    G          Em
Little metal faced boy - don't stay away
G                                          Dm          A  
He's so war torn and resigned - she can't talk anymore
C                        G                       Em
What are they trying to prove - what would they like to find

G
It's love back to front and no sides - like I say
A                  C
These pieces are broken - like I say
A                  C
These pieces are broken
                D
Hope I'm wrong but I know

Chorus:
G               C
Because you're young
Am               F
You'll meet a stranger some night
G              C
Because you're young
Am             F
What could be nicer for you
        Bm       G
And it makes me sad
    C
So I'll dance my life away
A million dreams
            D
A million scars

He punishes hard
Was loving her such a crime?
She took back everything she said
Left him nearly out of his mind
They're people I know - people I love
They seem so unhappy - dead or alive

It's love back to front and no sides - like I say
These pieces are broken - like I say
These pieces are broken
Hope I'm wrong but I know

Chorus:
Because you're young
You'll meet a stranger some night
Because you're young
What could be nicer for you
And it'll make me sad
So I'll dance my life away
A million dreams, a million scars

A million dreams
A million scars
A million
