[Verse 1]
Cm
  Last day of the rest of my life
         D#sus2
I wish I would've known cause I didn't kiss my mama goodbye
         Cm
I didn't tell her that I loved her and how much I care
            D#sus2
Or thank my pops  for all the talks and all the wisdom he
shared
   Cm
Unaware, I just did what I always do
     D#sus2
Everyday,  the same routine before I skate off to school
        Cm
But who knew that this day wasn't like the rest
           D#sus2
Instead of taking a test,
I took two to the chest
Cm
  Call me blind,
but I didn't see it coming
     D#sus2
Everybody  was running,
but I couldn't hear nothing
      Cm
Except  gun blasts, it happened so fast
        D#sus2
I don't really know this kid though I sit by him in class
Cm
  Maybe this kid was reaching out for love
   D#sus2
Or maybe for a moment he forgot who he was
   Cm
Or maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged
    D#sus2
Whatever it was. I know it's because

[Chorus]
Cm
  We are,
      D#sus2                       Cm
we are      the youth of the nation
We are,
      D#sus2                       Cm
we are      the youth of the nation
We are,
      D#sus2                       Cm
we are      the youth of the nation
We are,
      D#sus2                       Cm
we are      the youth of the nation

[Verse 2]
Little Suzy, she was only twelve
        D#sus2
She was given the world with every chance to excel
Cm
  Hang with the boys and hear the stories they tell
          D#sus2
She might act   kind of proud,
but no respect for herself
Cm
  She finds love in all the wrong places
    D#sus2
The same  situations just different faces
Cm
  Changed up her pace since her daddy left her
    D#sus2
Too bad   he never told her she deserved much better
Cm
  Johnny boy always played the fool
   D#sus2
He broke all the rules,
so you would think he was cool
Cm
  He was never really one of the guys
          D#sus2
No matter how   hard he tried often thought of suicide
Cm
  It's kind of hard when you ain't got no friends
           D#sus2
He put his life  to an end.
They might remember him then
Cm
  You cross the line and there's no turning back
         D#sus2
Told the world how he felt with the sound of a gat

[Chorus]
Cm
  We are,
      D#sus2                       Cm
we are      the youth of the nation
We are,
      D#sus2                       Cm
we are      the youth of the nation
We are,
      D#sus2                       Cm
we are      the youth of the nation
We are,
      D#sus2                       Cm
we are      the youth of the nation

[Verse 3]
Cm
  Who's to blame for the lives that tragedies claim
   D#sus2
No matter what you say it don't take away the pain
      Cm
That I  feel inside,
I'm tired of all the lies
        D#sus2
Don't nobody know why.
It's the blind leading the blind
Cm
  I guess that's the way the story goes
        D#sus2
Will it ever make sense? Somebody's got to know
Cm
  There's got to be more to life than this
               D#sus2
There's got to be    more to everything I thought exists

[Chorus]
Cm D#sus2 Cm D#sus2 Cm           D#sus2
                      We are, we are

  We are, we are   
Cm           D#sus2
  We are, we are

We are, we are
