Oh I tried to die young really I tried But the voice deep inside would not let me succumb And I laugh at the things I’ve done When I tried to die young   OUTRO:  (## repeat and adlib to end ##) Oh I laugh at the things I’ve done    Well I laugh at the things I’ve done   I laugh at the things I’ve done When I tried to die young
