[Verse 1]
G
Grandpa says you're better than the rest
G
And I know that I can't contest
Em C
Cause he don't like anyone
G
Mommma says your looks are mighty fine
G
Her grandbabies will be divine
Em C
And she can't wait to hold 'em
G
But you can't have the rest of me
G Em C
Until you make the best of me, so start preparing
G
Cause I'm young and spry and I've got fight
Em C
I'm in my prime and made just right for childbearing
[Chorus]
G Em C
So come with silver, come with gold
G Em C
Don't come when you want, just come when you're told
D C G Em C
Cause each day that the sky is swept with the sun
G Em C*
I step further away from staying young
G Em C
So get me while I'm young
G Em C
So get me while I'm young
[Verse 2]
G
My sister's been a-squealing
G
Cause her beau sealed the deal
Em C
He's making her his bride
G
And the ugliest parts of me are teeming with jealousy
Em C
Because of my own pride
G
But it's been a while since your first court
G
And I know that it's not a sport
Em C
But I can't help but compete
G
So if you're a man, then take a stand
Em C
Let's set a date and make a plan, now get on one knee
[Chorus]
G Em C
So come with silver, come with gold
G Em C
Don't come when you want, just come when you're told
D C G Em C
Cause each day that the sky is swept with the sun
G Em C*
I step further away from staying young
G Em C
So get me while I'm young
G Em C
So get me while I'm young
[Verse 3]
G
Youth is such a fleething thing
G
And you are such a greedy thing
Em C
With a diamond ring in your eye
G
It seems that someone washed your brain
G
With a shiny sparkling ad campaign
Em C
Distorting the purpose of your life
G
Suppose your good looks go away
G
But I still have a job that pays
Em C
You can't trade riches for youth
G
You can't wear love on your hands
G
Until I know you understand
Em C
Don't you tell me to
[Chorus]
G Em C
Come with silver, come with gold
G Em C
Don't come when you want, just come when you're told
D C G Em C
Cause each day that the sky is swept with the sun
G Em C*
I step further away from staying young
G Em C
So get me while I'm young, I'll get you when I want
G Em C
So get me while I'm young, I'll get you when I want
G Em C
So get me while I'm young, I'll get you when I want
G Em C* G
So get me while I'm young, so get me while I'm young
