We Are Young

C
Give me a second I
I need to get my story straight
     Am
My friends are in the bathroom
getting higher than the empire state
     F
my lover she’s waiting for me
just across the bar
              Dm
My seats been taken by some sunglasses
G
asking ’bout a scar
    C
and I know I gave it to you months ago
Am
I know you’re trying to forget
       F
but between the drinks and subtle things
the holes in my apologies
        Dm                         G
you know I’m trying hard to take it back
Pre-chorus
              F          G
so if by the time the bar closes
         C       Em        Am
and you feel like falling down
       F       G
I’ll carry you home
Chorus
  C
Tonight
   Em   Am
We are young
                          F
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
         C  G
than the sun
Verse 2:
       C
Now I know that I’m not
all that you got
  Am
I guess that I
                                                     F
I just thought maybe we could find a ways to fall apart
But are friends in back
So let’s raise a cup
Dm                         G
Cause I found someone to carry me home
Chorus [x2]
C
Tonight
   Em   Am
We are young
                          F
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
         C  G
than the sun
C                F
Carry me home tonight
     C                G
Just carry me home tonight
C               F
Carry me home tonight
      C               G
Just carry me home tonight
(the following is sung during the part above)
[The world is on my side
I have no reason to run
So will someone come and carry me home tonight
The angels never arrived
but I can hear the choir
so will someone come and carry me home]
Chorus [2x]
C
Tonight
   Em   Am
We are young
                          F
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
         C  G
than the sun
Pre-chorus
F          G
so if by the time the bar closes
         C       Em        Am
and you feel like falling down
       F       G
I’ll carry you home
