[Chorus]
G
Do you need a reason
 G/F#
We should commit treason
    C                       G
And bring into this world a son
              C
And leave the valleys of the young
               G
Valleys of the young
 C                           G
Valleys of brunch and tedium


[Verse 1]
Am                                  D
    Well, your friends will become strange to you
                         G
Just as you will become strange to them
                             C
You'll live across a great divide
Am                                  D
    And the problems that seem like luxuries
                               G
They're off getting stoned and hugging trees
                            C       G   Am
All the things you'll be forsaking
                                D
Still our hearts are constantly breaking
            F     C      G
From their cradle to our grave
       F          C      G
Is it selfish, or is it brave?

[Chorus]
G                    G/F#
Do you need a reason we've
     C                    G
Been making all to become three
    C
And believe in this holy valley
                   G
Land of brunch and misery
    C
I'm living on
                   G
The valleys of the young


[Verse]
Am                      D
    Now you're going on 64
             G
Driving down 65, to the hospital
   C           G              Am
To see if your adult son will survive or not
                                D
After taking those pills in the parking lot
                            G
You know the one behind the Marriott
                             C       G
This is a dream you won't be waking
Am                                 D
   Still our hearts are constantly breaking
           F      C      G
From their cradle to our grave
       F       C     G
Is it selfish, is it brave?
            F     C      G
From their cradle to our grave
      F          C     G
Is it selfish or is it brave?
