Growing Pains

A                                                                                                                    E  
Make my way through the motions, I try to ignore it
                                                                                                          A  
But home's looking farther the closer I get
Don't know why I can't see the end
                                  E  
Is it over yet? hmm
     A  
A short leash and a short fuse don't match
                                                                                  E  
They tell me it ain't that bad, now don't you overreact
                                                                A  
So I just hold my breath, don't know why
                                                                                                                E  
I can't see the sun when young should be fun
                                          A  
And I guess the bad can get better
Gotta be wrong before it's right
  E  
Every happy phrase engraved in my mind
                                          A  
And I've always been a go-getter
There's truth in every word I write
          C#m                                                                                    B  
But still the growing pains, growing pains
They're keeping me up at night
A  
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
                E  
And I can't hide 'cause growing pains are keeping me up at night
A  
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
                C#m                                                                 B  
And I can't hide 'cause growing pains are keeping me up at night
A                                                                                                                                    E  
Try to mend what's left of my content incomprehension
                                                                                                                                  A  
As I take on the stress of the mess that I've made
                                                                                                                                          E  
Don't know if I even care for "grown" if it's just alone, yeah
                                             A  
And I guess the bad can get better
Gotta be wrong before it's right
E  
Every happy phrase engraved in my mind
                                  A  
I've always been a go-getter
There's truth in every word I write
          C#m                                                                                    B  
But still the growing pains, growing pains
They're keeping me up at night
A  
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
                E  
And I can't hide 'cause growing pains are keeping me up at night
A  
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
                C#m                                                 B  
And I can't hide 'cause growing pains are keeping me up at night
A  
Starting to look like Ms. Know-it-all
Can't take her own advice
                             E  
Can't find pieces of my peace of mind
I cry more than I'd like to admit
                                          A  
But I can't lie to myself, to anyone
'Cause phoning it in isn't any fun
                          E  
Can't run back to my youth the way I want to
                                                                                                  A  
The days my brother was quicker to fool
AMradiº,  
                                                                                E  
Used monsters as an excuse to lie awake
Now the monsters are the ones that I have to face
                                                                                          A  
No band-aids for the growing pains
C#m      B  
No, no
No band-aids for the growing pains
