lyrics

I WAS YOUNG & I NEEDED THE MONEY

Intro​
Am

Verse 1​
C
The horse grows tired carrying the load
​Em
We stop for a time at the side of the road

Take a drink from the well
​ Dm
But still it follows
​Am​ C
​Not on the run but not going back
​ Em
No wish to relive all the times that were had

Life goes on
​Dm
In spite of the past

Chorus 1
​G​ F​ C​ Dm
Yeh I was young and I needed the money
​G​ F​ C​ Dm
The things you do when you’re hands are tied
​G​ F​ C​ D​ Dmaj7
Yeh I was young and I needed the money
​ C​ ​ Am
The things you do to survive

Verse 2​
She swore blind to me she wouldn’t tell anyone
​When word got out yeh I was gone
​Find somewhere to go
​Where the stink won’t follow

​But the world is much smaller than I thought
​Can’t shake the feeling no matter where I go
​People know
​So I move on

Chorus 2​
Yeh I was young and I needed the money
​The things you do when your hands are tied
​Yeh I was young and I needed the money
​The things you do to survive

Mid​
Em / Em / Em / G#m / Gm } x 6

​Am / C / Em / Dm

Verse 3
​If I could I would I’d take it back
​But life has become a living hell
​And I’d say to you
​What I said to them

Chorus 3​
Yeh I was young and I needed the money
​The things you do when your hands are tied
​Yeh I was young and I needed the money
​The things you do when you need to survive
​Yeh I was young and I needed the money
​When you’re young and in need of the money
​You leave your conscience behind
