[Verse 1]
Em7 Bm7
Here I am stuck on this couch, scrolling through my notes
C Am7
Heart was broken, still not growing, nah
Em7 Bm7
Waking up to headlines filled with devastation again
C Am7
My heart is broken, but I keep goin'
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Em7 Bm7
Pain, but I won't let it turn into
C Am7
Hate, 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 1]
Em7 Bm7
You can't take my youth away, this soul of mine will never break
C Am7
As long as I wake up today, you can't take my youth away
Em7 Bm7
You can't take my youth away, this soul of mine will never break
C Am7
As long as I wake up today, you can't take my youth away
N.C.
[Verse 2]
Em7 Bm7
It's hard to sleep at night, 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 2]
Em7 Bm7
Pain, but I won't let it turn into
C Am7
Hate, no I won't let it change me
[Chorus 2]

You can't take my youth away, this soul of mine will never break
C Am7
As long as I wake up today, you can't take my youth away
Em7 Bm7
You can't take my youth away, this soul of mine will never break
C Am7
As long as I wake up today, you can't take my youth away
Em7 Bm7
You can't take my youth away (can't take my youth)
C Am7
You can't take my youth away, oh yeah
