[Verse 1]

         D                      A
Well the news found me today, a million steps away
       Bm                                  G
These things take time to travel, it would seem
        D
I can’t even fall apart
       A
Really now, where would I start?
  Bm                                  G
I swear we spoke last night, or did I dream?

[Interlude]

G A Bm G

[Verse 2]

          D
And I can see you in my mind
     A
Your eyes and how they would shine
Bm                                  G
Blue, the sky that made itself your name
   D
Oh god, can it be true?
    A
Why me, but more why you?
     Bm                             G
When did it fall apart, when did we change?


[Verse 3]

    D
I remember the time, we were seven years old
     A
When you let me kiss you, on top of the world
       Bm
I come back to the memory, safe in my soul
        G
But now when I arrive I find myself alone

[Chorus 1]

        D
And I’m scared of the day that I forget your face
A
Hold on so tight, but it still slips away
       Bm
I keep searching this hollow stone
        G
For the youth I used to know

[Interlude]

Em G

[Verse 4]

       D
In the summer I checked in
            A
Seemed like you were wearing thin
          Bm                           G
Said that you had seen a quiet sort of year
        D                             A
Sounded older than before, like you’d lost another war
      Bm                           G
As we spoke I heard you slowly disappear

[Inerlude]

D A Bm G

[Verse 5]

            D
And all the pills that you would take
        A
Just to help you stay awake
         Bm                                 G
Couldn’t guide you on your way back home to shore
        D
And the girl I used to know
        A
Well, I lost her years ago
    Bm                                     G
But knowing that just makes this hurt much more

[Chorus 2]

   D
Oh comfort, oh comfort, say how will it feel
   A
My hand starts to crack, my skin starts to peel
       Bm
When I die will it ever have happened at all?
      G
In my heart I still wait for the day that you’ll call
        D
And I’m sorry that I didn’t keep us in touch
  A
I didn’t sit missing you, not all that much
        Bm
And I’m sorry I let you go
    G
The youth I used to know

[Interlude]

Bm F#m A Bm F#m A

    Bm      G       A
The youth I used to know
    Bm      G       A
The youth I used to know
    Bm      G       A
The youth I used to know (the youth I used to know)
    Bm      G       A
The youth I used to know (the youth I used to know)
     Bm      G       A
(The youth I used to know)
     Bm      G       A
(The youth I used to know)
