Lyrics

[Intro]
Eb                              Eb Ab
  Blame it, blame it on my youth

[Verse 1]
Eb
  I wasn't born with the rich blood
                                           Ab
I started out with plenty of nothing at all
I got stuck in the thick mud
The flash flood, punk rock,
        Bb     Eb
and the alcohol
I was raised on a rerun
I was bored to death,
                   Ab
so I started a band
Cut my teeth on a safety dance
                                      Bb
My attention span never stood a chance

[Pre-Chorus]
     Fm
It's too late
           Ab
Can you forgive me now?
                Eb
You could never kill my high

[Chorus]
I'm the ink and you're the headline, oh
Ab
Blame it, blame it on my youth
Blame it, blame it on my youth
Bb            Eb
You can never block my shine
I've been lost since nineteen ninety nine,
oh
Ab
Blame it, blame it on my youth
                              Bb
Blame it, blame it on my youth

[Interlude]
Eb
Blame, Blame, Blame on my youth

[Verse 2]
Eb
  I wasn't made for the good life
                                                Ab
I ended up getting stuck on the side of the road
I tripped and fell on hard times
                              Bb      Eb
Tough breaks are the only kind  I know
I was left on a door step
                                        Ab
I was scared to death with nowhere to go
Cut myself on the neighbors' fence
                                             Bb
That I hopped as the cops tried to take me in

[Pre-Chorus]
     Fm
It's too late
           Ab
Can you forgive me now?
                Eb
You could never kill my high

[Chorus]
I'm the ink and you're the headline, oh
Ab
Blame it, blame it on my youth
Blame it, blame it on my youth
Bb            Eb
You can never block my shine
I've been lost since nineteen ninety nine,
oh
Ab
Blame it, blame it on my youth
                              Bb
Blame it, blame it on my youth

[Bridge]
Bb                    Ab
  I was raised on the Ritalin
Bb                   Eb        Ab
  Ever since I was a little kid
Bb                      Ab
  No one ever seemed to give a shit
Bb
  And I don't need an excuse
Ab
  I don't need an
                Eb
You could never kill my high

[Chorus]
I'm the ink and you're the headline
Ab
Blame it, blame it on my youth
Blame it, blame it on my youth
Bb            Eb
You can never block my shine
I've been lost since nineteen ninety nine,
oh
Ab
Blame it, blame it on my youth
Blame it, blame it on my youth
Bb              Eb
You could never kill my high
I'm the ink and you're the headline
Ab
Blame it, blame it on my youth
                              Bb
Blame it, blame it on my youth

[Outro]
Eb
Endless summer
                    Ebsus4
Stretching on and on
