[Intro]
C#m E B F#m
C#m E G#m
[Verse 1]
G#m E B F#
First I saw you standing there, eyes so wild beneath your hair
G#m E B F#
Coat worn blacker than the sun, shook your head like Strummer strummed
G#m E B F#
We stood like soldiers in a line, heard the bells of midnight chime
G#m E B F#
We turned grey walls to fields of green, the only fate that we could scream
[Chorus pt1]
C#m E B F#
Was while you're still young, find your heart and find your song
C#m E F#
Now where have you gone?
[Chorus pt2]
G#m F# B E
No matter where you're going, and no matter where you've been, you never needed anybody else's call now
G#m F# B E
(G#m x 2)
I never met a one like you, never met a one like you, never met a one like you, don't bring me down
[Verse 2]
G#m E B F#
There's a dream that haunts my nights, of wild black horses out in flight
G#m E B F#
The kind of free I'd never been, a kind of beast I'd never seen
G#m E B F#
Why do all things end in pain?, I call the ghosts and ask their names
G#m E B F#
Is that love you're running from?, if you lead then I will come
[Chorus pt1]
C#m E B F#
And while you're still young, find your heart and find your song
C#m E F#
Now where have you gone?
[Chorus pt2]
G#m F# B E
No matter where you're going and no matter where you've been, you never needed anybody else's call now
G#m F# B E
I never met a one like you, never met a one like you, never met a one like you, don't bring me down

C#m E B F#
Basta de cuentos, es tiempo de lo nuestro
C#m E B F#
Tengo tu alma, bien metida adentro
C#m E B F#
Basta de cuentos, es tiempo de lo nuestro
C#m E B F#
Tengo tu alma, bien metida adentro
[Chorus pt1] twice
C#m E B F#
While you're still young, find your heart and find your song
C#m E B F#
While you're still young, find your heart and find your song
C#m E B F#
While you're still young, find your heart and find your song
C#m E F#
Now where have you gone?,
