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

[Pre-Estribillo]

                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

[Pre-Estribillo]

                 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

AM radio, not much to do
                              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
