Candi Staton, Young Hearts Run Free (1976)
^{Key: :[F#] (w: David Crawford)}

INTRO: [F#maj7] [G#m7] : [x4]

VERSE 1:
[F#maj7] What's the sense in [G#m7] sharing, this [F#maj7] one and only [G#m7] life
[F#maj7] Ending up just [G#m7] another, [F#maj7] lost and lonely wife
[B] You count up the years, and they will be filled with [F#] tears [D#m] [F#] [D#m]

VERSE 2:
[F#maj7] Love only [G#m7] breaks up, to [F#maj7] start over a-[G#m7]-gain
And [F#maj7] you'll get the [G#m7] babies, but [F#maj7] you won't have your man
[B] While he is busy loving every woman that he [F#] can [D#m] [F#] [D#m]

PRE-CHORUS:
[G#m7] Say you wanna leave, a thousand times a day, it's easier said that done
When you just can't break away; no you just can't break away

CHORUS:
Oh [B] Young hearts, run free; never be hung up
Hung up like my man and [F#] me [D#m]; [F#] my man and me [D#m]
Oh [B] Young hearts, to yourself be true
Don't be no fool when loving really don't love [F#] you [D#m]
[F#] Don't love you [D#m]

VERSE 3:
[F#maj7] It's high [G#m7] time now, just [F#maj7] one crack at [G#m7] life
[F#maj7] Who we want to [G#m7] live with, in [F#maj7] trouble and strife
[B] My mind must be free, to learn all I can about [F#] me [D#m] [F#] [D#m]

VERSE 4:
[F#maj7] I'm gonna [G#m7] love me, for the [F#maj7] rest of my [G#m7] days
[F#maj7] Caress the [G#m7] babies, every-[F#maj7]-time they say
[B] Self resevation is what's really going on to-[F#]-day [D#m] [F#] [D#m]

PRE-CHORUS:
[G#m7] Say I'm gonna turn loose, a thousand times a day, how can I turn loose
When you just can't break away; just can't break away

REPEAT CHORUS: [x2]
