 8     6     -8   -8  8  6   -8  -8 6
When you're young and so in love as we
-8  6  -7   -7   -8 -6   -7   -7 -5
And be-wil-dered by the world we see
-7  -5  7   7   -7  5* 7
Why do peo-ple hurt us so
7  -3  -6   -6  7    -3    6
On-ly those in love would know
 6   6  6    6   -5* -5 -5 -5* 6
What a town with-out pit-y can do

8  6   -8  -8  8   6  -8 -8  6
If we stop to gaze up-on a star
-8   6   -7 -7  -8  -6  -7  -7 -5
Peo-ple talk a-bout how bad we are
 -7  -5  7  7  -7  5* 7
Ours is not an eas-y age
  7    -3  -6  -6  7 -3  -6 
We're like ti-gers in a cage
 6  -6  6    6   -5* -5 -5 -5* 5
What a town with-out pit-y can do

 5   -5    6    7    -6
The young have prob-lems, 
-7  6  7    -6
Man-y prob-lems
-6  6   -6 8  -7   -6   -5*  -5
We need an un-der-stand-ing heart
-5    6    -6*  -7  7
Why don't they help us, 
-8  -6*  -7  7
try and help us
7   -6*  7    -9  -9   8    8   -8  -8
Be-fore this clay and gran-ite plan-et 
 -7  -7  7
falls a-part
 8     6   7  -8   8    6   -8  -8  6
Take these ea-ger lips and hold me fast
-8  6  -7    -7   -8  -6 -7   -7    -5
I'm a-fraid this kind of joy can't last
-7  -5  7   7    -7 -5  7
How can we keep love a-live
 7  -3  -6 -6  7   -3   -6
How can an-y-thing sur-vive
 6    -6    6   6   -5*   -5  -5* -5* 6
When these lit-tle minds tear you in two
 6  -6  6    6   -5* -5 -5 -5* 6
What a town with-out pit-y can do
-5* 6 -8 -8  -7 -7  7*  7*
No it is-n't ver-y pret-ty 
 7   7  -6* -6*  -6   6  6  8 -7...
what a town with-out pit-y can do.
