No Capo [Verse 1] G We're all kicking, we're all screaming D We're all sleeping at the wheel Em We're all California dreaming C Playing house and paying bills
G We're all going through the motions D Just following the script Em If we don't stop and smell the ocean C Boys, we might just miss our ship G D Every last heart breaks when the summer snapshot fades Em C Every teenage kiss ends way too soon [Chorus 1] G It don't matter how long we're here D It's never gonna be long enough Em It ain't about the amount of years C It's about the amount of love G It don't matter if you're 18, 45 or 91 D We're all waiting for our moment in the sun Em Everybody dies young C Oh yeah, everybody dies young [Verse 2] G From the moment that we're born D Yeah, we start running out of sand Em You can't bargain with the mirror
C You can't ever fight the hands of G D Time flies by like the 4th of July sky Em C When the morning sun high fives the moon [Chorus 1] G It don't matter how long we're here D It's never gonna be long enough Em It ain't about the amount of years C It's about the amount of love G It don't matter if you're 18, 45 or 91 D While we're here we oughta have a little fun Em Everybody dies young C Oh yeah, everybody dies young [Bridge] G You only get one life, so you gotta live it D You only get one heart, so you better give it Em You only get one life, so you gotta live it up C You only get one heart, so you gotta get to giving it up [Chorus 2] G It don't matter how long we're here D It's never gonna be long enough Em It ain't about the amount of years C It's about the amount of love G It don't matter if you're 18, 45 or 91 D No matter what we do, we're never done Em Everybody dies young
C Oh yeah, everybody dies young
