G#               Fm
Well, I heard an old man say,
 A#m                  D#
"Youth's lost on the young"
G#                        Fm
If I'd have known what I know today
              A#m                   D#
I would have lived my life like a smoking gun

A#m                      D#
But I saved it up for a rainy day
              G#                       Fm
And I'm still waiting for that day to come
A#m                                      D#
You only know that you had it when it's gone

Chorus:
                      C#      Fm
But it's something I can't say
              G#                    D#
Though it's there on the tip of my tongue
                  C#         Fm
It's something I can't change
         G#                   D#
For you can't stop a setting sun
    C# G#       Fm                        A#
And I   wanna scream it at the top of my lungs
                      A#m
But it's something I can't say
D#                            G#   Fm A#m
Though it's on the tip of my tongue
D#                     G#   Fm A#m D#
It's on the tip of my tongue

Well, I heard a young man say
"The truth's lost on the old"
All I have is how I feel today
No matter what I'm told and what I'm told

So I save it up for a rainy day
Even though that day may never come
And I won't know that I had it till it's gone, oh

Chorus:
But it's something I can't say
Though it's there on the tip of my tongue
It's something I can't change
For you can't stop the rising sun
And I wanna scream it at the top of my lungs
It's something I can't say
Though it's on the tip of my tongue

A#m       D#                G#   Fm
Oh, woah, on the tip of my tongue
A#m  D#                G#      Fm
Hey, on the tip of my tongue, woah
A#m D#                     G#
Oh, on the tip of my tongue
