F#m7                             C#m7
Here I am stuck on this couch, scrolling through my notes
            D                 Bm7
Heart was broken, still not growing, nah
F#m7                                C#m7
Waking up to headlines filled with devastation again
              D                Bm7
My heart is broken, but I keep goin'

F#m7        C#m7
Pain, but I won't let it turn into
D           Bm7
Hate, no I won't let it change me
F#m7                      C#m7
Never losing sight of the one I keep inside
        D              Bm7
Now I know it, yeah I know it

Chorus:
F#m7                                C#m7
You can't take my youth away, this soul of mine will never break
    D                       Bm7
As long as I wake up today, you can't take my youth away
F#m7                                C#m7
You can't take my youth away, this soul of mine will never break
    D                        Bm7
As long as I wake up today, you can't take my youth away
You can't take my youth away

It's hard to sleep at night, knowing what's outside
Feeling hopeless, I need focus
You hit me with words I never heard come out your mouth
To be honest, I don't want it, no

Pain, but I won't let it turn into hate
No, I won't let it change me

Chorus

          F#m7                       C#m7
You can't take my youth away (can't take my youth)
           D                  Bm7
You can't take my youth away, oh yeah

F#m7        C#m7
Pain, but I won't let it turn into
D           Bm7
Hate, no I won't let it change me
F#m7       C#m7
Pain, but I won't let it turn into
D          Bm7
Hate, no I won't let it change me

Chorus:
You can't take my youth away
This soul of mine will never break
As long as I wake up today
You can't take my youth away (my youth away)
You can't take my youth away
This soul of mine will never break
As long as I wake up today
You can't take my youth away (oh yeah)
You can't take my youth away
This soul of mine will never break
As long as I wake up today
You can't take my youth away
You can't take my youth away
This soul of mine will never break
As long as I wake up today
You can't take my youth away
[Outro]
You can't take my youth away
