8 6 -8 -8 8 6 -8 -8 6
When you’re young and so in love as we
-8 6 -7 -7 -8 -6 -7 -7 -5
And be-wil-dered by the world we see
-7 -5 7 7 -7 5* 7
Why do peo-ple hurt us so
7 -3 -6 -6 7 -3 6
On-ly those in love would know
6 6 6 6 -5* -5 -5 -5* 6
What a town with-out pit-y can do

8 6 -8 -8 8 6 -8 -8 6
If we stop to gaze up-on a star
-8 6 -7 -7 -8 -6 -7 -7 -5
Peo-ple talk a-bout how bad we are
-7 -5 7 7 -7 5* 7
Ours is not an eas-y age
7 -3 -6 -6 7 -3 -6
We’re like ti-gers in a cage
6 -6 6 6 -5* -5 -5 -5* 5
What a town with-out pit-y can do

5 -5 6 7 -6
The young have prob-lems,
-7 6 7 -6
Man-y prob-lems
-6 6 -6 8 -7 -6 -5* -5
We need an un-der-stand-ing heart
-5 6 -6* -7 7
Why don’t they help us,
-8 -6* -7 7
try and help us
7 -6* 7 -9 -9 8 8 -8 -8
Be-fore this clay and gran-ite plan-et
-7 -7 7
falls a-part
8 6 7 -8 8 6 -8 -8 6
Take these ea-ger lips and hold me fast
-8 6 -7 -7 -8 -6 -7 -7 -5
I’m a-fraid this kind of joy can’t last
-7 -5 7 7 -7 -5 7
How can we keep love a-live
7 -3 -6 -6 7 -3 -6
How can an-y-thing sur-vive
6 -6 6 6 -5* -5 -5* -5* 6
When these lit-tle minds tear you in two
6 -6 6 6 -5* -5 -5 -5* 6
What a town with-out pit-y can do
-5* 6 -8 -8 -7 -7 7* 7*
No it is-n’t ver-y pret-ty
7 7 -6* -6* -6 6 6 8 -7…
what a town with-out pit-y can do.
