Verse

Give me a second I 


I need to get my story straight 


My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State 

               Am 
My lover she's waiting for me just across the bar 

   Am                                   C                     Am 
My seat's been taken by some sunglasses asking 'bout her scar   and 

       Am               F7         Am Dm 
I know I gave it to you months ago    

                        Dm     Am 
I know you're trying to forget  

            C7 
But between the drinks and subtle things 

                Gm 
The holes in my apologies 

                            C7      Am 
You know I'm trying hard to take it back 

             Gm           Am 
So if by the time the bar closes 

        Dm        C       Bb 
And you feel like falling down 

     Bb        C 
I'll carry you home 


Chorus
F       F        Dm    Dm 
Tonight  We are young  

                          Bb 
So let's set the world on fire 

            Bb                C 
We can burn brighter than the sun 

C       F        Dm    Dm 
Tonight  We are young  

                          Bb 
So let's set the world on fire 

            Bb 
We can burn brighter than the sun 


Verse
           C                     F 
Now I know that I'm not all that you got 

        F                     Dm 
I guess that I I just thought  

Dm                                   Gm 
Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart 

                         Gm 
But our friends are back  

                       Bb 
So let's raise a toast  

                          C 
'cause I found someone to carry me home 


Chorus
F       F        Dm    Dm 
Tonight  We are young  

                          Bb 
So let's set the world on fire 

            Bb                Csus4 C 
We can burn brighter than the sun

We can burn brighter    than the sun 

      Bb7     C7 
Carry me home   tonight 

     Am                    C7 Am 
Just carry me home tonight

Just carry me home tonight    

                       Bb 
The moon is on my side  

                    F 
I have no reason to run 


Chorus
                         C7                    F 
So will someone come and carry me home tonight  

                         Bb 
The angels never arrived  


But I can hear the choir 

   F 
So will someone come and carry me home
