Capo 1st fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
x4, x4, x4, x4
(repeat this a few times until vocals enter)
Palm muted:
Everybody wants to be young and reckless
Sparkle and shine like a diamond necklace
Moved from the crowd to the top of the guest list
Everybody wants to be young and reckless
Release mute on third strum of each chord:
And I know, you're out here for the first time
And I know, you never really turned out right
Sometimes, you're better off in disguise,
some times
When everybody-dy-dy knows it's a great big lie
So d-d-d-don't say it's alright
And everybody knows when you say goodbye
You d-d-d-don't look back, you don't look back
Palm mute:
Hide it away stashed under the mattress
High school mascot everybody practice
Everybody move now, move to the exit
Everybody wants to be young and reckless
Release mute on third strum of each chord:
And I know, you're out here for the first time
And I know, you never really turned out right
Sometimes, you're better off in disguise,
some times
When everybody-dy-dy knows it's a great big lie
So d-d-d-don't say it's alright
And everybody knows when you say goodbye
You d-d-d-don't look back, you don't look back
Interlude
, , , x2
Does anybody know
Is everything pretend
Does anybody know
Is this making sense
Does anybody know
Is everything pretend
Does anbody know the answer in the end
Does anybody know
Is everything pretend
Does anbody know the answer in the end
Interlude

When everybody-dy-dy knows it's a great big lie
So d-d-d-don't say it's alright
And everybody knows when you say goodbye
You d-d-d-don't look back, you don't look back
And everybody knows it's a great big lie
So d-d-d-don't say it's alright
And everybody knows when you say goodbye
You d-d-d-don't look back, you don't look back
