C  F


[Verse 1]
C                                                                             F
  I wasn’t born with the rich blood, I started out with plenty of nothing at all
                                                                     C
I got stuck in the thick mud, the flash flood punk rock and the alcohol
                                                               F
I was raised on a re-run, I was bored to death so I started a band
                                                                  C
Cut my teeth on a safety dance, my attention span never stood a chance


[Pre-Chorus 1]
     Dm
It’s too late
           F
Can you forgive me now?


[Chorus 1]
              C
You can never kill my high
                                     G
I’m the ink and you’re the headline (oh)
F
Blame it on blame it on my youth
F
Blame it on blame it on my youth

G             C
You can never block my shine
                           G
I've been lost since 1999 (oh)
F
Blame it on blame it on my youth
F                                G
Blame it on blame it on my youth


[Verse 2]
C                                                                               F
  I wasn’t made for the good life, I ended up getting stuck on the side of the road
                                                                        C
I tripped and fell on hard times, the tough breaks are the only kind I know
                                                                  F
I was left on a door step, I was scared to death with nowhere to go
                                                                                C
Cut myself on the neighbor’s fence, that I hopped as the cops tried to take me in


[Pre-Chorus 2]
     Dm
It’s too late
           F
Can you forgive me now?


[Chorus 2]
              C
You can never kill my high
                                     G
I’m the ink and you’re the headline (oh)
F
Blame it on blame it on my youth
F
Blame it on blame it on my youth

G             C
You can never block my shine
                           G
I've been lost since 1999 (oh)
F
Blame it on blame it on my youth
F
Blame it on blame it on my youth


[Bridge]
G                     F
  I was raised on the Ritalin
G                    F
  Ever since I was a little kid
G                       F
  No one ever seemed to give a shit
Dm                   F
   I don’t need an excuse, I don’t need an excuse


[Chorus 3]
              C
You can never kill my high
                                     G
I’m the ink and you’re the headline (oh)
F
Blame it on blame it on my youth
F
Blame it on blame it on my youth

G             C
You can never block my shine
                           G
I've been lost since 1999 (oh)
F
Blame it on blame it on my youth
F
Blame it on blame it on my youth


[Outro]
G             C
You can never kill my high
             (endless summer)
                                     G
I’m the ink and you’re the headline (oh)
               (stretching   on   and   on)
F
Blame it on blame it on my youth
F
Blame it on blame it on my youth

N.C.
Endless summer
N.C.
Stretching on and on
