I Tried To Die Young by Melanie Safka




                   I Tried To Die Young 






Capo: 2nd fret
 
INTRO: C
 
                      Dm7
I tried to die young, really I tried
        F                           C
But the voice deep inside would not let me succumb 
  Am           G                F
I laugh at the things that I''ve done
       G            C
When I tried to die young 
 
 
                                       Am
I took a plane through the dawn, threw myself on the tracks
        F                       G
But the train didn''t come and I had to walk back 
         C                               Am
I jumped into the whirlpool, thought I''d get sucked in
            F                      G
I just kept spinning around ''til I learned how to swim and I
 
 
C                   Dm7
Tried to die young, boy, did I try
        F                           C
But the voice deep inside would not let me succumb
      Am           G           F
And I laugh at the things I''ve done
       G            C
When I tried to die young 
 
 
         C                              Am
Well, my heart kept on breaking and the crack sought the edge
          F                            G
Where the hand of a shadow grabbed the hand in my head 
           C                            Am
There were demons, I know them and they still come by
    F                        G
But we''ve become friends, my demons and I 
 
 
       C                   Dm7
Well I tried to die young, really I tried
        F                           C
But the voice deep inside would not let me succumb 
      Am           G           F
And I laugh at the things I''ve done
       G            C
When I tried to die young 
 
 
         Am           Em7           F    G
I took a razor to the wrist of reality
     Am         Em7              F    G
Hell-bent on my way toward futility 
           Am          Em7           F              G
I''ve got a reason to believe that it won''t go on forever
    F                         G
But reason to the heart, is a message undelivered   
 
 
         C                           Dm7
Ahhh,  I tried to die young, really, really I tried
        F                           C
But the voice deep inside would not let me succumb
      Am           G           F
And I laugh at the things I''ve done
       G            C
When I tried to die young
 
 
     C                       Am
Now I''m the old girl I never thought I''d become   
         F                                 G
"Does it get any better?", asks the little girl in my song 
          C                                  Am
I''m still learning the answers, so I make up things you see   
                    F                         G
She laughs, "You''re still the same and you''ll never kill me!"
 
 
      C                   Dm7
Oh, I tried to die young, really I tried
        F                           C
But the voice deep inside would not let me succumb
      Am           G           F
And I laugh at the things I''ve done
       G            C
When I tried to die young 
 
 
OUTRO:  (## repeat and adlib to end ##)
      Am           Em7         F      G
Oh, I laugh at the things I''ve done
        Am           Em7         F     G
Well, I laugh at the things I''ve done
  Am           G           F
I laugh at the things I''ve done
       G            C      Dm7  F  C  Dm7  F  C
When I tried to die young
