[Intro]
Blame it, blame it on my youth
C Am F F

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

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

[Chorus]
C
You could never kill my high
Am
I’m the ink and you’re the headline (Oh)
F
Blame it, blame it on my youth
F
Blame it, blame it on my youth
C
You can never block my shine
Am
I’ve been lost since 1999 (Oh)
F
Blame it, blame it on my youth
F
Blame it, blame it on my youth

[Verse 2]
C
I wasn’t made for the good life

I ended up getting stuck on the side of the road
F
I tripped and fell on hard times
Tough breaks are the only kind I know
C
I was left on a door step
I was scared to death with nowhere to go
F
Cut myself on the neighbors’ fence
That I hopped as the cops tried to take me in

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

[Chorus]
C
You could never kill my high
Am
I’m the ink and you’re the headline (Oh)
F
Blame it, blame it on my youth
F
Blame it, blame it on my youth
C
You can never block my shine
Am
I’ve been lost since 1999 (Oh)
F
Blame it, blame it on my youth
F
Blame it, blame it on my youth

[Bridge]
C Am
I was raised on the Ritalin
F G
Ever since I was a little kid (Little kid)
C Am
No one ever seemed to give a shit (Give a shit)
F
And I don’t need an excuse
G
I don’t need an excuse

[Chorus]
C
You could never kill my high
Am
I’m the ink and you’re the headline
F
Blame it, blame it on my youth
F
Blame it, blame it on my youth
C
You can never block my shine
Am
I’ve been lost since 1999 (Oh)
F
Blame it, blame it on my youth
F
Blame it, blame it on my youth
C
You can never kill my high (Endless summer)
Am
I’m the ink and you’re the headline (Stretching on and on)
F
Blame it, blame it on my youth (Oh, oh)
F
Blame it, blame it on my youth (Oh, oh)

[Outro]
C
Endless summer
C F
Stretching on and on
