      And then slide down the neck and start playing the verses.
      I _think_ that you can pretty much just get away with chords
      here.  Anyway, that's all I know how to do at this point.
      If anyone figures out any little lead parts to spruce this
      up, let me know.
 
 E                               A
 Growing up today,  there's many mountains you must climb
 C                              D
 You're not the only one, 'Cause everybody's on that line
 E                            A
 Hey mister know it all, what do you recommend?
 C                                     D
 You think you know the answers but the questions never end
 
 E5    F#5           G5   A5
 Young hearts better hold on
 C5                        D5
 Beyond the innocence your youth is gone
    E5           F#5
 So look in your mirror
         G5         A5
 You got nothing to lose
 C5                         D5
 Don't waste your time away thinkin' 'bout yesterday's blues

 E                       A
 Born outta passion to a world gone cold
     C                                  D
 You wear it on your shoulders,  it's a heavy, heavy load I know
 E                          A
 Love and its emotions come knocking at your door
  C                              D
 Young hearts will be broken and time's the only cure
 
 E5    F#5           G5   A5
 Young hearts better hold on
 C5                        D5
 Beyond the innocence your youth is gone
    E5           F#5
 So look in your mirror
       G5           A5
 It'll tell you the truth

 (Guitar tacit)
 Temptation makes us fall from grace
 
 But the angels were sinners and the sinners saints
 
 Forgive yourself cause we're all the same
 
 Everybody rides on the karma train
 
 E5    F#5           G5   A5
 Young hearts better hold on
 C5                         D5
 Beyond your innocence your youth is gone
 E5          F#5           G5           A5
 Look in you mirror, it'll tell you the truth
 C5
 Don't waste your time away
 D5
 Don't waste your life away, no, no
 E5     F#5
 Live today
         G5         A5
 There's no time to lose
 C5
 Cause when tomorrow comes
 D5
 It's all just yesterday's news

 That's all I know of this one.  I hope it's more or less
 accurate.  Sorry about the lack of the solo.  I may get 
 around to it, I don't know.
 
 BTW, I have also started Mr. Bluesman from this album.
 I know the basic chords, etc.  Basically enough to go on
 _except_ I don't know the solo.  E-mail me if you'd like
 to see what I've got so far.
 
 Correction, etc. (especially the addition of the solo) are
 strongly encouraged.
 
 Enjoy
