Standard (EADGBE)

Ever since i was eight or nine

 I've been standing on the shoreline

 Always waiting

 For something lasting

 Loose your hunger, you loose your way

Get confused and you fade away

Oh this town

 Kills you when you are young

Oh this town

 Kills you when you are young

 I'm not the boy i used to be

 This town has got the youth of me

 All eyes turn hollow

 From the work of sorrow

|| | | | || X2

 Standing on the paving

 By the office building

 They've got so much to do

 Never time for you

We are shadows

 Oh we're shadows

 Shadows in the alley

You die when you're young

 You die when you're young

 You die when you're young
