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
