You’re on your own, kid
You are
(VER)
A
Make my way through the motions
I try to ig
E
nore
it
But home’s looking farther the closer I
A
get
Don’t know why I can’t see the end
Is it ove
E
r yet? Hmm
A
A
short leash and a short fuse don’t match
They tell me it ain’t that b
E
ad
”Now, don’t you overreact”
So I just hold my breath
A
Don’t know why
I can’t see the sun when young should
E
be
fun
(PRE CHO)
And I guess the
A
bad can get better
Gotta be wrong before it’s right
E
E
very happy phrase engraved in my mind
And I’ve always
A
been a go-getter
There’s truth in every word I write
But
E
still, the growing pains, growing pains
They’re keeping me up at night
(CHO)
A
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
And I can
E
’t
hide
’Cause growing pains are keeping me up at night
A
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
And I can'

‘Cause growing
B
pains are keeping me up at night
(VER)
A
Try to mend what’s left of my content
Incomprehe
E
nsion
As I take on the stress of the mess that I’ve made
A
Don’t know if I even care for “grown”
If it’s just a
E
lone,
yeah
(PRE CHO)
And I guess the
A
bad can get better
Gotta be wrong before it’s right

(OUTRO)
A
Starting to look like Ms. Know-It-All
Can’t take her own advice
Can’t fin
E
d pieces of my peace of mind
I cry more than I want to admit
But I can’t li
A
e to myself, to anyone
’Cause phoning it in isn’t any fun
Can’t run
E
back to my youth the way I want to
The days my brother was quicker to
A
fool
AM radio, not much to do
Used monsters as an ex
E
cuse to lie awake
E
Now the monsters are the ones that I have to face
No band-aids for the growing pains
A
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
C#m
Hey, hey, hey, hey
B
,
hey
No, no, no band-aids for the growing pains
