Chord/Tab song: I Tried to Die Young

CAPO: 2nd Fret

INTRO: C

I tried to die young, [Dm7]really I tried
But the [F]voice deep inside would not [C]let me succumb
I [Am]laugh at the [G]things that I've [F]done
When I [G]tried to die [C]young


I took a plane through the dawn, threw [Am]myself on the tracks
But the [F]train didn't come and I [G]had to walk back
I jumped [C]into the whirlpool, thought I'd [Am]get sucked in
I just kept [F]spinning around 'til I [G]learned how to swim and I


[C]Tried to die young, [Dm7]boy, did I try
But the [F]voice deep inside would not [C]let me succumb
And I [Am]laugh at the [G]things I've [F]done
When I [G]tried to die [C]young


Well, my [C]heart kept on breaking and the [Am]crack sought the edge
Where the [F]hand of a shadow grabbed the [G]hand in my head
There were [C]demons, I know them and they [Am]still come by
But [F]we've become friends, my [G]demons and I


Well I [C]tried to die young, [Dm7]really I tried
But the [F]voice deep inside would not [C]let me succumb
And I [Am]laugh at the [G]things I've [F]done
When I [G]tried to die [C]young


I took a [Am]razor to the [Em7]wrist of reali[F]ty[G]
Hell-[Am]bent on my [Em7]way toward futili[F]ty [G]
I've got a [Am]reason to be[Em7]lieve that it [F]won't go on for[G]ever
But [F]reason to the heart, is a [G]message undelivered


Ahhh, I [C]tried to die young, really, [Dm7]really I tried
But the [F]voice deep inside would not [C]let me succumb
And I [Am]laugh at the [G]things I've [F]done
When I [G]tried to die [C]young


Now I[C]'m the old girl I never [Am]thought I'd become
"Does it [F]get any better?", asks the little [G]girl in my song
I'm still [C]learning the answers, so I make up [Am]things you see
She laughs, "You're [F]still the same and you'll [G]never kill me!"


Oh, I [C]tried to die young, [Dm7]really I tried
But the [F]voice deep inside would not [C]let me succumb
And I [Am]laugh at the [G]things I've [F]done
When I [G]tried to die [C]young

When I [G]tried to die [C]young [Dm7] [F] [C] [Dm7][F][C]
