G              F 
Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain, 
G                        F 
with the barkers and the colored balloons 
G                   F 
You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain, 
Dm                                                   G 
though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon; 
Dm                       G 
you're leaving there too soon.
[Strophe]
G                    F 
It's so noisy at the fair,  
                         G 
but all your friends are there 
                        F 
And the candy floss you had, 
                         G 
and your mother and your dad.
[Strophe]
G              F 
Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain, 
G                        F

G                   F 
You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain, 
Dm                                                   G 
though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon; 
Dm                       G 
you're leaving there too soon.

There's a girl just down the aisle, 
                        G 
oh, to turn and see her smile. 
                           F 
You can hear the words she wrote, 
                       G 
as you read the hidden note.
[Strophe]
G              F

Dm                       G 
you're leaving there too soon.

Now you're underneath the stairs,  
                            G 
and you're giving back some glares 
                      F 
To the people who you met, 
                        G 
and it's your first cigarette.

Now you say you're leaving home, 
                       G 
'cause you want to be alone. 
                       F 
Ain't it funny how you feel, 
                             G 
when you're finding out it's real?
[Strophe]
G              F

you're leaving there too soon.
