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
