Biography:
Young the Giant are an American alternative rock band who formed in Irvine, California in 2004. The band consists of Sameer Gadhia (vocals, percussion), Jacob Tilley (guitar), Eric Cannata (guitar), Payam Doostzadeh (bass) and François Comtois (drums). The band's name is purposefully nonsensical; Gadhia explained it as a "leftfield idea" meant to evoke curiosity.
The band released their debut self-titled album, Young the Giant, on 25 January 2011, which was preceded by a digital-only release in October 2010.

[Intro]
Gm Gm Dm C x2
[Verse 1]
Gm
When I was just a boy
Gm
My momma told me, "Son:
Dm
You look so serious
C Gm
Smile and have some fun"
Gm
When I was seventeen
Gm
My father let me know
Dm
"Life isn't fun and games
Dm C Gm
Gotta sell your soul!"
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm
I don't know how I ended up
Dm
So close to where I started
Gm
I went to war for peace of mind
Dm C
But what's it for?
[Chorus]
Gm
I'm dancing on a tightrope
Dm C
No time to mess around
Gm
Just trying to let my mind go
Dm C
I'm never coming down
[Verse 2]
Gm
I found a preacher man
Gm
To help me understand
Dm
What we are doing here
C Gm
What comes after life?
Gm
And now the years have passed
Gm
Been to the moon and back
Dm
And all I've realized
Dm C Gm
No one knows a thing
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm
I don't know how I ended up
Dm
So close to where I started
Gm
I went to war for peace of mind
Dm C
What was it for?
[Chorus]
Gm
I'm dancing on a tightrope
Dm C
No time to mess around
Gm
Just trying to let my mind go
Dm C Gm
I'm never coming down
Dm C Gm
I'm never coming down
Dm C
I'm never coming down
[Bridge]
Gm Dm C
Teachers always say stay in between the lines
Gm Dm C
Mamma said be quiet if you can't say something nice
Gm Dm C
Doctors always say take these pills for your health
Gm Dm
But now I can't remember how to think for myself
[Chorus]
Gm
I'm dancing on a tightrope
Dm C
No time to mess around
Gm
Just trying to let my mind go
Dm C Gm
I'm never coming down
Dm C Gm
I'm never coming down
Dm C
I'm never coming down
