Lời bài hát kèm hợp âm cùng dòng

[Verse 1]
[D]The[Bm] day [A]th[D]at E[Bm]lvis[A][D]
died was like [Bm]a mercy killing
[D]America breathed a [A]sigh of relief
[D]We knew all[G] about the drugs
and the [A]Vegas [D]shows
And there [G]wasn't much of
[D]anything that [A]looked like grief

[Verse 2]
And I [G]guess he shoulda done
like [A]James Dean [D]did
'Stead of [G]putting on [D]weight and sinkin' down,
[A]down, [Bm]down
[G]Easier to take,
if [A]he'd of just [D]skidded straight
[G]To souvenir [D]city and [A]T-shirt town
town

[Verse 3]
And [C]sometimes I [F]wish,
I [A]was smarter that [D]I am
But [G]I'm on my third [D]city and
I'm [G]on my fourth [D]car
And [G]I'm on my fifth [D]apartment and
so [Bm]many of my days have [A]sprung

[Verse 4]
And now it's [G]too late to [D]crash, [G]too late to [D]burn,
[G]too late [A]to die [D]young[Bm]
[A][D]

[Verse 5]
[Bm]
[A]If Pete Ros[D]e had exploded
like [Bm]Roberto Clemente
He'd be [D]hanging in the Hall
of [A]Fame without [D]fail
Can you [G]name the last good film
[A]Marlon Brando [D]made
While [G]trying to keep his
[D]kid from [A]goin' to jail?

[Verse 6]
And the [E]old people in the
[A]street are telling you
[E]Don't become like [A]me but [G]every
day [F#m]you creep a little bit cl[F]oser

[Verse 7]
And I [G]guess we shoulda done
like [A]James Dean [D]did
'Stead of [G]putting on [D]weight and sinkin' down,
down, [Bm]down
[G]Easier to take if [A]we'd of had just
[D]skidded straight
[G]To souvenir [D]city and [A]T-shirt town
town

[Verse 8]
And [C]sometimes I [F]wish,
I [A]was smarter that [D]I am
But I'm [G]on my third [D]city and
I'm [G]on my fourth [D]car
And I'm [G]on my fifth [D]apartment and
so [Bm]many of my days have [A]sprung

[Verse 9]
And now it's [G]too late [D]to crash,
[G]too late [D]to burn, [G]too late [A]to die
Now it's [G]too late [D]to crash, [G]too late to [D]burn,
[G]too late to [A]die [D]young[Bm]
