They were a very young group of young men singing about unrequited love and various things that very young men think are important. I found myself feeling really really cynical, lambasting their young naivety. Then I thought\u2026 what a terrible thing to think! Naivety is the most beautiful thing about youth. Unscarred from the slings and arrows of life, they are so clueless but in a way I am jealous of that more pure state.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chords And Lyrics<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No capo<\/p>\n<p>A Em G Cadd9<\/p>\n<p>A Em<br \/>\nHey young one, You&#8217;re too young to see<br \/>\nG<br \/>\nGo get your heart broken, Get your innocence stolen<br \/>\nCadd9<br \/>\nthen get back to me<\/p>\n<p>A Em<br \/>\nHey young one, A life without pain<br \/>\nG<br \/>\nIs a life without gain, A life without fame<br \/>\nCadd9<br \/>\nA life without shame<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br \/>\nA Em<br \/>\nWhen they say your not old enough<br \/>\nG Cadd9<br \/>\nThey mean you ain&#8217;t cold enough<br \/>\nA Em<br \/>\nBut naivety it seems to me<br \/>\nG A<br \/>\nsuch a splendid splendid thing to be<\/p>\n<p>A Em<br \/>\nHey young one<br \/>\nG A<br \/>\nbeautiful naivety<\/p>\n<p>A Em<br \/>\nHey young one<br \/>\nG A<br \/>\nbeautiful naivety<\/p>\n<p>A Em G Cadd9<\/p>\n<p>A Em<br \/>\nHey young one, You think they know<br \/>\nG<br \/>\nBut there&#8217;s pain in their hearts, They can&#8217;t even start<br \/>\nCadd9<br \/>\nTo see what you&#8217;re capable of<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\nBREAK<br \/>\nA Em<br \/>\nHey young one<br \/>\nG<br \/>\nyeah you don\u2019t know<br \/>\nA<br \/>\nbut neither do they<br \/>\nG<br \/>\nyeah you don\u2019t know<br \/>\nA<br \/>\nbut neither do they<br \/>\n&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>A Em<br \/>\nWhen they say your not old enough<br \/>\nG Cadd9<br \/>\nThey mean you ain&#8217;t cold enough<br \/>\nA Em<br \/>\nBut naivety it seems to me<br \/>\nG A<br \/>\nsuch a splendid splendid thing to be<\/p>\n<p>A Em<br \/>\nHey young one<br \/>\nG A<br \/>\nbeautiful naivety<\/p>\n<p>A Em<br \/>\nHey young one<br \/>\nG A<br \/>\nbeautiful naivety<br \/>\n&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>A Em G Cadd9<\/p>\n<p>A Em<br \/>\nHey young one, Don&#8217;t listen to me<br \/>\nG<br \/>\nCause the pain that I&#8217;ve seen, the scars that run deep<br \/>\nCadd9<br \/>\nHave twisted all that I see<\/p>\n<p>A Em<br \/>\nHey young one<br \/>\nG A<br \/>\nbeautiful naivety<\/p>\n<p>A Em<br \/>\nHey young one<br \/>\nG A<br \/>\nbeautiful naivety<\/p>\n<p>A Em<br \/>\noooooooooooh<br \/>\nG A<br \/>\nbeautiful naivety<br \/>\nG (slow) A<br \/>\nbeautiful naivety<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An original song, with chords and lyrics, reflecting on the beauty of youthful naivety \u2014 how the unscarred innocence of the young, though clueless, is a pure state that the older and more scarred can come to envy rather than mock.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","episode_type":"audio","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","footnotes":""},"project_category":[30,20],"project_tag":[331,328,69,330,332,195],"series":[],"class_list":["post-724","project","type-project","status-publish","hentry","project_category-becoming","project_category-music","project_tag-aging","project_tag-becoming","project_tag-music","project_tag-naivety","project_tag-society","project_tag-youth"],"acf":{"recommend_blurb":"For anyone reflecting on youth, innocence and the scars that come with experience.
