Youth Cifras

"For the album, me and Igor went to quite a remote part of England in the countryside. It was quite nice to
be surrounded by the beautiful countryside — there wasn't really anything around, so there weren't any
distractions at all. It was kind of cool to be very, very isolated — it was just us. We were staying in an
old chapel that had been converted to a holiday home that people could go to. I think they got kind of
freaked out when we arrived with all these instruments and recording gear. They were like, 'Oh god, who are
these people?' [laughs]. We just holed up there for two weeks and wrote half the songs on the album."

[Verse]
Em        F                   Am         G
   Shadows settle on the place, that you left.
Em          F                       Am      G
   Our minds are troubled by the emptiness.
Em        F                       Am   G
   Destroy the middle, it's a waste of time.
Em             F                       Am      G
   From the perfect start to the finish line.
       Em           F                       Am        G
And if you're still breathing, you're the lucky ones.
      Em             F                      Am        G
'Cause most of us are heaving through corrupted lungs.
 
 
[Bridge]
       Em       F              Am      G
Setting fire to our insides for fun
             Em    F                       Am
Collecting names of the lovers that went wrong
G
   The lovers that went wrong.

[Verse]
Em        F
   We are the reckless,
             Am       G
We are the wild youth
       Em          F           Am      G
Chasing visions of our futures
Em        F                       Am      G
   One day we'll reveal the truth
               Em        F               Am      G
That one will die before he gets there.
       Em           F                        Am      G
And if you're still bleeding, you're the lucky ones.
      Em          F                       Am                 G
'Cause most of our feelings, they are dead and they are gone.
 
 
[Bridge]
            Em        F              Am      G
We're setting fire to our insides for fun.
              Em          F                      Am
Collecting pictures from a flood that wrecked our home,
      G
It was a flood that wrecked this home.
 
 
[Chorus]
Am    Em    F    G                Am
                    And you caused it,
Em    F     G                Am
               And you caused it,
Em    F     G                Am
               And you caused it,
Em    F     G
 
 
[Verse]
Em                       F           Am          G
    Well I've lost it all, I'm just a silhouette,
Em                 F                    Am      G
    I'm a lifeless face that you'll soon forget,
Em                  F               Am           G
    And my eyes are damp from the words you left,
        Em         F            Am           G
Ringing in my head, when you broke my chest.
        Em         F            Am           G
Ringing in my head, when you broke my chest.
       Em             F             Am            G
And if you're in love, then you are the lucky one,
       Em             F          Am        G
'Cause most of us are bitter over someone.
 
 
[Bridge]
       Em      F               Am      G
Setting fire to our insides for fun,
       Em             F                        Am
To distract our hearts from ever missing them.
       G
But I'm forever missing him.
 
 
[Chorus]
Am    Em    F    G                Am
                    And you caused it,
Em    F     G                Am
               And you caused it,
Em    F     G                Am
               And you caused it,
Em    F     G
