Key: C
Introduction:
C#m F#m B G#m
You would think that I could find a simple song, a photograph of mine
A Am F#m G#m
To show this public eye, what I have to offer
C#m F#m B G#m
I may not have a PHD, or speak in eloquent philosophy!
A Am G#m F#m
I'm nothing more than simply me you see!
A Am E G#m F#m
What I am trying to say
C#m G#m A Am
I'm just a babe in so many ways!
E
I'm still growing, still stretchin'
A Am
Still breaking in these new shoes
E A Am
Looking for a way to make a mark of my own
E
I'm just a spring chick, wet behind the ears
A Am
It's a part of life so there's no need to fear
G#m C#m F#m E
These growing pains that I'm going through
C#m F#m B G#m
I don't regret, I'm not ashamed that I haven't yet begun to speaketh ways...
A Am
(As the wisest of men), oh perhaps some day
F#m G#m
But for now I'm grateful
C#m F#m B G#m
to be a part of the family tree, while The Man upstairs does His work on me
Am G#m F#m
It's a job that may take eternity to complete
Am E G#m F#m
Just when I've learned all I can,
C#m G#m A Am
those growing pains up and kick on in again!
Chorus
B Bm F#m C#m
Time after time, one more time and again, will it ever end?
F#m B A
It's the lessons in our lives that make us wise
A Am E G#m F#m
But young or old I am told it's the same Oh,
C#m G#m A Am
these growing pains never go away, so I'll just keep on trying...
A Am E G#m F#m
What I am trying to say
A Am
I'm just a babe in so many ways!
E G#m
I'm still growing, still stretchin'
A Am
Still breaking in these new shoes
E A Am
Looking for a way to make a mark of my own
E
I'm just a spring chick, wet behind the ears
A Am
It's a part of life so there's no need to fear
G#m C#m A Am
These growing pains that I'm going through
F#m A
These Growing pains...
Oh, baby don't worry about a thang!
A Am E
lalalalala.... la....
