[Intro 1]
[Em][G][C][D][Bm][Em]

[Verse 1]
Dread shine your [Em]light
So a [G]child may [C]follow
Many [Am]have [D]been lost along the [Bm]way[Em]
Until tonight
Turns in[G]to tomorrow
[C]Teach them to [D]be careful
while [Bm]at p[Em]lay

[Verse 2]
[Em]There's nothing wrong
with having [G]fun
Don't let the system tame [C]you
It's just a part of being [D]young
[Bm]And even though they're
quick [Em]to blame you
Picking on you like [G]a plum
Because your dream became [C]true
Now look what they've be[D]come[Bm]
An open [Em]sight in plain view
They've already had a run
[G]So meanwhile they try to change you
[C]It's not over til it's don[D]e[Bm]
So please [Em]remain the same you

[Verse 3]
Hey young [Em]world [G](hey young world)
Hey young world [C](hey young world)
Hey young [D]world
The world [Bm]is yours
[Em]

[Verse 4]
Hey young world [G](hey young world)
Hey young world [C](hey young world)
Hey young [D]world
The world [Bm]is y[Em]ours

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][D][Bm]
[Em]

[Verse 5]
Dread shine your [Em]light
So a [G]child may follow
[C]Many have [D]been lost along the [Bm]way[Em]
Until tonight
Turns in[G]to tomorrow
[C]Teach them to [D]be careful
while [Bm]at p[Em]lay

[Verse 6]
[Em]You might not think you
know [G]enough
Don't let that deter [C]you
It's all apart of growing [D]up
[Bm]And we're all young [Em]enough to learn to
And don't you live life in a rush
[G]The past cannot be returned to[Em][G]
[C]And when you feel like giving[D] up
[Bm]Remember patience is a[Em] virtue
When you fall, try to get [G]up
Have some guts, I'm trying to urge [C]you
Be proud of [D]owning [Bm]up
The truth will nev[Em]er hurt you

[Verse 7]
Hey young [Em]world [G](hey young world)
Hey young world [C](hey young world)
Hey young [D]world
The world [Bm]is y[Em]ours

[Verse 8]
[Em]
Hey young world [G](hey young world)
Hey young world [C](hey young world)
Hey young [D]world
The world is [Bm]yours[Em]

[Interlude 2]
[G][C][D][Bm]
[Em]

[Verse 9]
Dread shine your [Em]light
So a [G]child may follow
Cause' [C]many have been [D]lost
along the [Bm]way[Em]
Until tonight
Turns in[G]to tomorrow
[C]Teach them to be [D]careful
while [Bm]at p[Em]lay
So when you're rising start,
be wise and [G]smart
Try and make your mark
Don't you [C]hy pe and floss,
and [D]drive too [Bm]fast
Cause' life's [Em]to short
Try to make good times last
'cause time flies pas[G]t
And if [C]time is money,
that [D]means I'm [Bm]cast[Em]
But it don't cost money
to joke and [G]laugh
So if you love [C]some[Em]body,
[C]hurry up [D]and talk
[Bm][Em]

[Verse 10]
Hey young world [G](hey young world)
Hey young world [C](hey young world)
Hey young [D]world
The world is [Bm]yours
