DOm
 Last day of the rest of my life
         MIbadd9
I wish I would've known

'Cause I didn't kiss my mama goodbye
         DOm
I didn't tell her that I loved her, how much I care
            MIbadd9
Or thank my pops for all the talks

And all the wisdom he shared
   DOm
Unaware, I just did what I always do
     MIbadd9
Everyday, the same routine

Before I skate off to school
        DOm 
But who knew that this day wasn't like the rest
           MIbadd9
Instead of taking a test

I took two to the chest
DOm
 Call me blind, but I didn't see it coming
     MIb7+
Everybody was running

But I couldn't hear nothing
      DOm       
Except gun blasts, it happened so fast
         MIb7+
I didn't really know this kid

Though I sit by him in class
DOm
 Maybe this kid was reaching out for love
   MIb7+
Or maybe for a moment

He forgot who he was
   DOm
Or maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged
    MIb7+
Whatever it was

I know it's because

DOm             MIbadd9              DOm
 We are, we are,  the youth of the nation
               MIbadd9          DOm
We are, we are,  youth of the nation
               MIbadd9              DOm
We are, we are,  the youth of the nation
               MIbadd9          DOm
We are, we are,  youth of the nation


Little Suzy, she was only twelve
        MIbadd9
She was given the world
                           
With every chance to excel
DOm
 Hang with the boys and hear the stories they tell
          MIbadd9
She might act kind of proud

But no respect for herself
DOm
 She finds love in all the wrong places
    MIbadd9
The same situations

Just different faces
DOm
 Changed up her pace since her daddy left her
    MIbadd9
Too bad he never told her

She deserved much better
DOm
 Johnny boy always played the fool
   MIb7+
He broke all the rules

So you would think he was cool
DOm
 He was never really one of the guys
          MIb
No matter how hard he tried

Often thought of suicide
DOm
 It's kind of hard when you ain't got no friends
           MIb7+
He put his life to an end

They might remember him then
DOm
 You cross the line and there's no turning back
         MIb7+
Told the world how he felt

With the sound of a gat

DOm             MIbadd9              DOm
 We are, we are,  the youth of the nation
               MIbadd9          DOm
We are, we are,  youth of the nation
               MIbadd9              DOm
We are, we are,  the youth of the nation
               MIbadd9          DOm    MIb7+
We are, we are,  youth of the nation

DOm9    MIb7+    DOm    MIb7+    DOm9    MIb7+

DOm
 Who's to blame for the lives that tragedies claim?
   MIb7+
No matter what you say

It don't take away the pain
      DOm 
That I feel inside, I'm tired of all the lies
        MIb7+
Don't nobody know why

It's the blind leading the blind
DOm
 I guess that's the way that the story goes
        MIb7+
Will it ever make sense

Somebody's got to know
DOm
 There's got to be more to life than this
               MIb7+
There's got to be more to everything

I thought exists

DOm
 We are, we are, the youth of the nation

We are, we are, youth of the nation
                           MIbadd9
We are, we are (we are, we are), 
                   DOm
the youth of the nation
                           MIbadd9
We are, we are (we are, we are), 
               DOm
youth of the nation
                           MIbadd9
We are, we are (we are, we are)
                   DOm
The youth of the nation (the youth of a nation)
                           MIbadd9
We are, we are (we are, we are)
               DOm
Youth of the nation (youth of a nation)
                           MIbadd9
We are, we are (we are, we are)
                   DOm
The youth of the nation...
   MIb7+                DOm
(We are) youth of the nation
   MIb7+                DOm
(We are) youth of the nation
   MIb7+                DOm
(We are) youth of the nation
   MIb7+
