C                                         (F)
I wanna hold you, but you’re out of reach
C                                         (Em)
Somewhere searching for your inner peace
Am                                    (Em)
I’m just looking for a little squeeze
Am                              (G)
Face to face and cheek to cheek
C                                 (F)
It's in your blood but not in mine
C                                  (Em)
What’s in your blood is in my mind
Am                                      (Em)
Something’s broken in the way we smile
Am                          (G)
It’s within us all the time

F                      
You're well acquainted with the so-oh-oh-oh
Dm
And all the ”Ello” and ”Ow are ’u?” 
       C            C/B    Am
And we both have to get it on
          G        F        G-F-G-F-G-F    
'fore the summer's gone

C                                   F
We gotta hurry with no worry to get down today
       Am           G         F
’Cause one of us is gonna die young
C                                              F
Let's put our money where our mouth is and get out today
       Am           G         F
’Cause one of us is gonna die young

C
Oh oh-oh

C                                     (F)
And Don't you take this the wrong way
C                                    (Em) Am                                    
I’m not looking for a way to replace what love can give
(Em)       Am            (G)
‘Cause you can’t do that
C                                     (F)
I'm only saying that where I come from
C                               (Em)
People find it very fashionable
Am
To burn like a flame
               (Em)
Never get tame
Am
Grown-up and lame
            (G)
Yeah, yeah

F                              
You’re looking beat but you say: "no, oh, no, no"
 Dm
"I’m all messed up and I’m ready to go
   C           C/B    Am       G       F
We ain't gotta go it alone no more so let’s get on 
          G
with the show"

C                                   F
There’s a lot to be said, and to be done today
       Am           G         F
’Cause one of us is gonna die young
            C                           F
Before they put us in a coffin I've got things to say
       Am           G         F
’Cause one of us is gonna die young
Am           G         F         (G)
One of us is gonna die young

C
Oh oh-oh
F
Oh oh-oh
Am           G         F
One of us is gonna die young
C
Oh oh-oh

One of us is gonna die young

               C                        F
And there’s a lot to be said, and to be done today
       Am           G         F
’Cause one of us is gonna die young
        C                          F
We’ll go shim-shim shammey And get whimsy and get whammy 
       Am           G         F
’Cause one of us is gonna die young
Am           G         F
