Lyrics

[Intro]
| Em7 | Bm7 | C | Am7 |

[Verse 1]
Em7
Here I am,
                        Bm7
stuck on this couch scrolling through my notes
             C                 Am7
Heart was broken, still not growing, nah
Em7
Waking up to headlines,
              Bm7
filled with devastation again
               C                 Am7
My heart is broken, but I keep going

[Pre-Chorus]
Em7
   Pain,
           Bm7                C
but I won't   let it turn into hate
           Am7
No, I won't   let it change me
Em7                          Bm7
Never losing sight of the one   I keep inside
           C                Am7
Now, I know it, yeah, I know   it

[Chorus]
Em7
You can't take my youth away
     Bm7
This soul of mine will never break
   C
As long as I wake up today
Am7
You can't take my youth away
Em7
You can't take my youth away
     Bm7
This soul of mine will never break
   C
As long as I wake up today
Am7
You can't take my youth away
You can't take my youth away

[Verse 2]
     Em7
It's hard to sleep at night,
Bm7
knowing what's outside
            C              Am7
Feeling hopeless, I need focus
Em7                                Bm7
You hit me with words I never heard   come out your mouth
        C                 Am7
To be honest, I don't want   it, no

[Pre-Chorus]
Em7
   Pain,
           Bm7                C
but I won't   let it turn into hate
           Am7
No, I won't   let it change me

[Chorus]
Em7
You can't take my youth away
     Bm7
This soul of mine will never break
   C
As long as I wake up today
Am7
You can't take my youth away
Em7
You can't take my youth away
     Bm7
This soul of mine will never break
   C
As long as I wake up today
Am7
You can't take my youth away

[Bridge]
              Em7
You can't take   my youth away

Can't take my youth

You can't take my youth away

[Interlude]
Em7
   Pain,
           Bm7                C
but I won't   let it turn into hate
           Am7
No, I won't   let it change me
