C            Am                                                          C
Life was good when the weather was fair and the sun was shining.
C                   Am                                                                    C
The women danced through my mind like the songs that I was singing.
C                   Am                                                                C
The booze it flowed like a river and I never knew that I was sinking.
         G                           C
But, I was young. And, I was dumb,

C                          Am                                                       C
With dark grey clouds rolling in I began my search for shelter.
C                      Am                                                                       C
And, I found warmth in the arms of a woman I thought would care.
C          Am                                                              C          
But the love she had was the love of my misfortune.
                   G                         C
And, I was young. And, I was dumb.
                   G                         C

C          Am                                                  C        
                   G                         C

C                   Am                                                     C
So, I moved on in my seach for the life that I was after.
C             Am                                                        C
Elusive dreams that I had would haunt me everyday.
C                 Am                                                             C
I count the cost of the friends and the family I have squandered
      G                         C
And, I was young. And, I was dumb.
                       G                             C
And, I was young. And, I was dumb.

C                 Am                                                           C
Now those dreams have faded to a life in the here-after.
C                Am                                                                  C
But, I have found the love that I have searched for anyway.
C                 Am                                                        C
I found the love I was seeking was the love of myself.
                      G                          C
But, I was young. And, I was dumb.
              G                               C
I was young. And, I was dumb.
