Keep Your Heart Young Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][C]

[Verse 1]
My [C]grandpa gave me a wee penny
and I [F]kept it in my [C]pocket
I had big plans in my backyard
to [G]build me a space rocket
I [C]talked to my brother on a fake C-P
that I [F]made from a Tic-Tac [C]box
I packed my snowballs nice and tight
And in the [G]middle I put [C]rocks

[Pre-chorus 1]
[F]Don't trade in your Tic-Tac box
for a ball on the end of a [C]chain
And don't go spending Grandpa's pennies
buying into the [G]game

[Chorus 1]
You gotta [F]keep your heart [C]young
[G]Don't go growin' old
be[Am]fore your time has come
You can't take [F]back what you have [C]done
You gotta [G]keep your heart [C]young

[Verse 2]
Dad [C]took the wheels off my bike
And he [F]pushed me down the [C]hill
But speed got the best of me,
and [G]I took my first spill
[C]That was back when alcohol
was [F]only used on [C]cuts
Stung like hell so I shook my leg
And mama [G]said it would give me [C]guts

[Pre-chorus 2]
[F]Don't trade in your Tic-Tac box
for a ball on the end of a [C]chain
And don't go spending Grandpa's pennies
buying into the [G]game

[Chorus 2]
You gotta [F]keep your heart [C]young
[G]Don't go growin' old
be[Am]fore your time has come
You can't take [F]back what you have [C]done
You gotta [G]keep your heart [C]young

[Verse 3]
So [C]take a picture of the one you love
and [F]put it in a [C]locket
Go dig up your time capsule
And the [G]blueprints for your rocket
[C]Keep in touch on a fake C-P
and that [F]same old Tic-Tac [C]box
Pack your snowballs a little less tight
But in the [G]middle still put [C]rocks

[Chorus 3]
And [F]keep your heart [C]young
[G]Don't go growin' old
be[Am]fore your time has come
You can't take [F]back what you have [C]done
You gotta [G]keep your heart [C]young

[Chorus 4]
You gotta [F]keep your heart [C]young
Some[G]times you don't die quick
Just [Am]like you wished you'd done
Though [F]love is a loaded [C]gun
You've gotta [G]keep your heart [C]young

[Outro 1]
You can't take [F]back
what you have [C]done [G]is [Am]done
You gotta [G]keep your heart [C]young[F][C]
