[Guitar Chords] How to play "Boyce Avenue - We Are Young (Acoustic/Unplugged Version)"

Boyce Avenue - We Are Young (Acoustic Version) on guitar

Came across this easy to follow guitar tutorial on Youtube.

I like it because firstly, he does not speak too much unlike other Youtube videos, where the guitar player goes on and on before finally getting to the song itself.

Secondly, the chords are there on screen for you to follow easily. It is easier to learn from diagram than to listen to the teacher telling you which string, which fret, etc.

This song is called We Are Young, originally sung by the band "Fun". "Boyce Avenue" stripped it down to an unplugged version which sounded as good as the original version. If you have not heard it before, take a listen to it and see if you like it.

You may need to watch it a few times to learn as this song chords changes pretty fast, but once you get the hang of the song, you can show it off to your family and friends!

知道我不完美 能给的我都给

           C9            D                       F                      F
于是天蓝转灰转黑 也微笑不插嘴 这一次会气馁

连平凡 爱一回 都才将心给谁 马上 又被粉碎

* 满意了吗 你究竟有完没完 你烦不烦 总考验我多勇敢

F               A                     B                            Bm
有那么难 那么幸福和美满 我不贪婪 只求多些夜晚

不鼻酸 不孤单 我想要的快乐很简单 你都不管

人的一生会积累 十万毫升泪水

             C9          D                      F                    F
以为哭完苦悲苦味 能换来好结尾 并不是我后悔

Dm7                 Dm7/D                    C             D   F F D/E
爱会痛我奉陪 只是 轮到我没 谁视我为宝贝 *

有完没完 我已无条件投降 我要归还 向你借来的勇敢

我不野蛮 不属于我的美满 都不贪婪 只求一到夜晚

有期盼 有陪伴 我想要你给我个答案 你却不管

你都不管 你别不管 我的伤感
