[Verse 1]
F#m                 C#m
   Can we turn this off?
                  D                 A
Can we put it away for another time?
F#m                        C#m
   Because your silence is hard
                      D               A
Because unspoken words are bliss to me
F#m                  C#m
   And you're out of touch
                   D           A
And you cannot find a way to me
F#m                   C#m
   And it's all, it's you
              D             A
We'll find another way to be

[Chorus]
A                    F#m
Don't you tell me to follow my dreams
    D                  Bm
I'm only 19, I'll catch  you up,
          D
I'll catch you up
A                        F#m
And don't you tell me of what I could see
     D
Your conscience has suffered enough,
Bm      D A
  enough

[Verse 2]
F#m                 C#m
   This is a modern war
                         D               A
There is no reason to use any other words
F#m                         C#m
   You can't sit back and relax
                       D               A
As your boy is just calling out for you
F#m                  C#m
   So don't mix your words
                          D           A
When you're tryin' to make it up to me
F#m                            C#m
   There's a place that you've gone
                            D                A
And you'll find that it's no good place to be

[Chorus]
A                    F#m
Don't you tell me to follow my dreams
    D                  Bm
I'm only 19, I'll catch  you up,
          D
I'll catch you up
A                        F#m
And don't you tell me of what I could see
     D
Your conscience has suffered enough,
Bm      D A
  enough
