Verse1
It [C]keeps me awake
The look on your face
The [G]moment you heard the news
You’re [Dm]screaming inside
And frozen in time
You [F]did all that you could do
The [C]game was rigged, the ref got tricked
The [G]wrong ones think they’re right
You were [Dm]outnumbered — this [F]time
Chorus
But only the [C]young
Only the [G]young
Only the [Dm]young
Only the [F]young can [C]run [G]
Can [Dm]run, so [F]run
And run, and [C]run
Verse2
So [C]every day now
You brace for the sound
You’ve [G]only heard on TV
You [Dm]go to class, scared
Wondering where the [F]best hiding spot would be
And the [C]big bad man and his big bad clan
Their [G]hands are stained with red
O, how [Dm]quickly, they [F]forget
Pre-chorus
They aren’t gonna [F]help us
Too busy helping [Am]themselves
They aren’t gonna [F]change this
We gotta do it [Am]ourselves
They think that it’s [F]over
But it’s just [Dm]begun
Chorus
Only one thing can [F]save us
Only the [C]young (Only the young)
Only the [G]young (Only the young)
Only the [Dm]young (Only the young)
Only the [F]young
Post-chorus
Only the [C]young (Only the young)
Only the [G]young (Only the young)
Only the [Dm]young (Only the young)
Only the [F]young
Only the [C]young (Only the young)
(Don’t say you’re too tired to fight
It’s just a matter of time
Up there’s the finish line)
Only the [G]young (Only the young)
Only the [Dm]young (Only the young)
Only the [F]young
Can [C]run
[C]Don’t say you’re too tired to fight
[G]It’s just a matter of time (Can run)
[Dm]Up there’s the finish line
[F]So run, and run, and run
[C]Don’t say you’re too tired to fight
[G]It’s just a matter of time (So run)
[Dm]Up there’s the finish line
[F]And run, and run, and run
[C]Only the young
[G]Only the young
[Dm]Only the [F]young
