F C G Am (3x)

F C G Am
I was only looking for the treasure in the dark
F C G Am
Not the trees and people in the middle of the park
F C G Am F C G G
But the treasure's buried beneath years and years of time
 
F C G
He put his hand in my hand and he told me,
Am F C G Am
"Son, when they all come looking for you, where you gonna run?
F C G Am F C G G
Your hearts wired up to the eyes in your head and they're flashing bright."

I signed a deal with the devil and he took my soul
F C G Am
To a room with a table in the dark and cold.
F C G Am F C G G
I signed my name just the same as I'd done on the line before.
 
F C G Am
I was in the middle of the cliff and the sea
F C G Am
with a ditch right behind me that the bitch couldn't see
F C G Am
She came right at me with her teeth and her dress
F C G G
And they both fell of
 
G G F F C C G G
Be careful what you wish for when you're young
G G F F C C G G
Be careful what you wish for when you're young
