ACOUSTIC PIANO TAB
* This is an improvement on several of the tabs here, both in lyrics and in
chords. This is a piano player's perspective, as it's a piano driven song, and it
follows the fun's acoustic version closely. Guitarists should be able to follow
easily, but I couldn't tell you if the fun. guitarist plays the exact same chords
as the pianist. *
"We Are Young" by fun.
VERSE 1
[F]
Give me a second I, I need to get my story straight,
[Dm7]
My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State,
[Gm7]
My lover she is waiting for me just across the bar,
[Bb] [C]
My seat's been taken by some sunglasses asking 'bout a scar, and
[F] [Dm7]
I know I gave it to you months ago; I know you're trying to forget.
[Gm7]
But be-tween the drinks and subtle things, the holes in my apologies, you know,
[Bb] [C]
I'm trying hard to take it back
PRE-CHORUS
[Gm] [Am]
so if by the time the bar closes
[Dm] [Am/C] [Bb]
and you feel like falling down
[Bb] [C]
I'll carry you home
[CHORUS x2]
[F] [F] [Am/E] [Dm]
To-night, we are young
[Dm] [Dm]/[E] [Bb]
So let's set the world on fire;
[Bb]
we can burn brighter
[F/C] -> [C]
than the sun
VERSE 2
[F] [F] [F] -> [F/E]
And I know that I'm not all that you got
[Dm] Dm2 [Dm] [Gm]
I guess that I, I just thought, maybe we could find a ways to fall a-part
[Gm]
But our friends are back, so let's raise a toast
[Bb] [C]
Cause I found someone to carry me home
[CHORUS x2]
[F] [F] [Am/E] [Dm]
To-night, we are young
[Dm] [Dm]/[E] [Bb]
So let's set the world on fire;
[Bb]
we can burn brighter
[F/C] -> [C]
than the sun
[SPECIAL CHORUS]
[F] [Bb]
Carry me home to-night
[F] [C]
Carry me home to-night
[F] [Bb]
Carry me home to-night
[F] [C]
Carry me home to-night
(the following is sung over the part above)
[F] [Bb]
The moon is on my side, I have no reason to run
[F] [C]
So will someone come and carry me home tonight.
[F] [Bb]
The angels never 'rived, but I can hear the choir
[F] [C]
So will someone come and carry me home
[CHORUS x2]
[F] [F] [Am/E] [Dm]
To-night, we are young
[Dm] [Dm]/[E] [Bb]
So let's set the world on fire;
[Bb]
we can burn brighter
[F/C] -> [C]
than the sun
[end on PRE-CHORUS]
[Gm] [Am]
so if by the time the bar closes
[Dm] [Am/C] [Bb]
and you feel like falling down
[Bb] [C] [F]
I'll carry you home... tonight
