C Am Dm G
[Strophe]
C                  Am 
  Well, I heard an old man say, 
Dm                          G 
"Youth's lost on the young" 
C                          Am 
  If I'd have known what I know today 
             Dm                   G 
I would have lived my life like a smoking gun
[Pre-Refrain]
Dm                        G 
  But I saved it up for a rainy day 
              C               C/B     Am 
And I'm still waiting for that day to come 
Dm                                        G 
  You only know that you had it when it's gone
[Refrain]
                     F         Am 
But it's something I can't say 
            C                      G 
Though it's there on the tip of my tongue 
                 F            Am 
It's something I can't change 
        C            G 
For you can't stop a setting sun 
    F C 
And I    
       Am                         D 
wanna scream it at the top of my lungs 
                     F         G 
But it's something I can't say 
                             C     Am Dm G 
Though it's on the tip of my tongue 
                             C     Am Dm G 
       It's on the tip of my tongue
[Strophe]
C                  Am 
  Well, I heard a young man say, 
     Dm                    G 
"The truth's lost on the old" 
C                    Am 
 All I have is how I feel today 
          Dm                  G 
No matter what I'm taught and what I'm told
[Pre-Refrain]
Dm                      G 
  So I save it up for a rainy day 
     C                   C/B     Am 
Even though that day may never come 
Dm                                          G 
   And I won't know that I had it 'til it's gone, no
[Refrain]
                     F         Am 
But it's something I can't say 
            C                      G 
Though it's there on the tip of my tongue 
                 F            Am 
It's something I can't change 
        C            G 
For you can't stop a rising sun 
    F C 
And I    
       Am                         D 
wanna scream it at the top of my lungs 
                     F         G 
But it's something I can't say 
                             C     Am Dm G 
Though it's on the tip of my tongue   Oh, woah 
                 C     Am Dm   G 
on the tip of my tongue   hey, yeah 
                 C      Am    Dm   G 
on the tip of my tongue woah  ohh 
                 C 
on the tip of my tongue
