A Funeral for Youth

Capo: 1st fret

[Verse]
            G          Bm        Em              C       G
You took a long walk, tried to leave, lit your cigarette
           Bm          Em            D
Tried to climb up the walls but you seem to forget
G   Em       C      D    G   D
No one is really, truly free
         G       Bm      Em               C         G
Spending all day in the sea, until your bones get cold
           Bm          Em           D           G
There’s a room at the back where we go to grow old
     Em     C        D       G  D
It’s about time you came to see
 
[Chorus]
C                     D
We can wait ’til the winter comes
   G             C
I wouldn’t go without you
     C         D           G
A melancholy funeral for youth
 
[Verse]
G
You see, it’s pouring with rain, as far as I can see
 
There’s a big, black, dark cloud following me
G      Em       C   D         G   D
Life’s like a movie I can’t leave
G
Excuses, always the same, and it’s wearing me thin
 
You’re gonna learn your lesson and you’ll learn it from him
G     Em       C   D          G
Life gets to everyone in the end
 
[Chorus]
C                     D
We can wait ’til the winter comes
   G             C
I wouldn’t go without you
     C         D           G    F
A melancholy funeral for youth
 
[Bridge]
  C                                    G   F
Times like these still tear me clean apart
  C                               A                D
Shattering the hourglass ‘cause this has gone too far
 
[Chorus]
C                     D
We can wait ’til the winter comes
   G             C
I wouldn’t go without you
 C                    D                G              E,
Woebegone and we’re miserable in the world we woke up to
            C            D
But it’s a melancholy funeral
   C          D
melancholy funeral
      C         D          G
A melancholy funeral for youth
