Standard (EADGBE)
Verse 1
Give me a second I, I need to get my story straight,
My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State,
My lover she is waiting for me just across the bar,
My seat's been taken by some sunglasses asking 'bout a scar, and
I know I gave it to you months ago; I know you're trying to forget.
But be-tween the drinks and subtle things, the holes in my apologies, you know,
I'm trying hard to take it back
Pre-chorus
so if by the time the bar closes
and you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home
Chorus x2
To-night, we are young
So let's set the world on fire;
we can burn brighter
->
than the sun
Verse 2
->
And I know that I'm not all that you got
I guess that I, I just thought, maybe we could find a ways to fall a-part
But our friends are back, so let's raise a toast
Cause I found someone to carry me home
Chorus x2
To-night, we are young
So let's set the world on fire;
we can burn brighter
->
than the sun
[SPECIAL CHORUS]
Carry me home to-night
Carry me home to-night
Carry me home to-night
Carry me home to-night
(the following is sung over the part above)
The moon is on my side, I have no reason to run
So will someone come and carry me home tonight.
The angels never 'rived, but I can hear the choir
So will someone come and carry me home
Chorus x2
To-night, we are young
So let's set the world on fire;
we can burn brighter
->
than the sun
[end on PRE-CHORUS]
so if by the time the bar closes
and you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home... tonight
