C F
Am G
[Verse 1]
C F
When sadness fills your heart
Am G
And sorrow hides the longing to be free
C F
When things go wrong with each day
Am G
You fix your mind to 'scape your misery
[Chorus]
F
Your troubled young life
C
Had made you turn
C F G
To the needle of death
[Verse 2]
C F
How strange, your happy words
Am G
Have ceased to bring a smile from everyone
C F
How tears have filled the eyes
Am G
Of friends that you once walked among
[Chorus]
F
Your troubled young life
C
Had made you turn
C F G
To the needle of death
[Verse 2]
C F
One grain of pure white snow
Am G
Dissolved in blood spread quickly to your brain
In peace your mind withdraws
Am G
Your death so near your soul can't feel no pain
[Chorus]
F
Your troubled young life
C
Had made you turn
C F G
To the needle of death
[Verse 3]
C F
Your mother stands a'cryin'
Am G
While to the earth your body's slowly cast
C F
Your father stands in silence
Am G
Caressing every young dream of the past
[Chorus]
F
And your troubled young life
C
Had made you turn
C F G
To the needle of death
[Verse 4]
C F
Through ages, man's desires
Am G
To free his mind, to releave his very soul
C F
Has proved to all who live
Am G
That death itself is freedom for evermore
[Chorus]
F
And your troubled young life
C
Had made you turn
C F G
To the needle of death
[Outro]
F
And your troubled young life
C
Had made you turn
C F G
To the needle of death
