[Intro]
N.C.
You're on your own, kid
You are
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
E
But still the growing pains, growing pains
They're keeping me up at night
[Chorus]
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
C#m B
And I can't hide 'cause growing pains are keeping me up at night
[Verse 2]
A E
Try to mend what's left of my content incomprehension
As I take on the stress of the mess that I've made
A E
Don't know if I even care for "grown" if it's just alone, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
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
E
But still the growing pains, growing pains
They're keeping me up at night
[Chorus]
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
C#m B
And I can't hide 'cause growing pains are keeping me up at night
[Outro]
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
AM radio, not much to do
E
Used monsters as an excuse 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, yeah, hey, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
C#m B
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah, hey
No band-aids for the growing pains
