[Verse 1]
N.C
Can we turn this off?
N.C
Can we put it away for another time?
N.C
Because your silence is hard
N.C
Because unspoken words are bliss to me
N.C
And you're out of touch
N.C
And you cannot find a way to me
N.C
And it’s all, it's you
N.C
We'll find another way to be


[Chorus]
F                    Dm
Don’t you tell me to follow my dreams
A#                 Gm                 A#
I'm only nineteen, I'll catch you up, I'll catch you up
F                        Dm
And don't you tell me of what I could see
     A#                     Gm      A#
Your conscious has suffered enough, enough

[Verse 2]
N.C
This is a modern war
N.C
There is no reason to use any other words
N.C
You can't sit back and relax
N.C
As your boy is just calling out for you
N.C
So don't mix your words
N.C
When you're tryin’ to make it up to me
N.C
There’s a place that you've gone
N.C
And you’ll find that it's no good place to be


[Chorus]
F                    Dm
Don't you tell me to follow my dreams
A#                 Gm                 A#
I'm only nineteen, I’ll catch you up, I'll catch you up
F                        Dm
And don't you tell me of what I could see
     A#                     Gm      A#
Your conscious has suffered enough, enough
