Em                C
I was wasting my time
Em                 C
Trying to fall in love
Em              C
Disappointment came to me and
 G              B
Booted me and bruised and hurt me

Chorus:
      C         D          G    B
But that's how people grow up
  C         D          B
That's how people grow up

Em                C
I was wasting my time
 Em          C
Looking for love
 Em           C
Someone must look at me
     F                B ( a-g-f# )
and see their sunlit dream

Em                C
I was wasting my time
  Em         C
Praying for love
Em                 C
For the love that never comes from
 G                B
Someone who does not exist and

Chorus
D
G       C#           B
Let me live before I die
     D          F#   D   C - C - C - C - C  - C - C - C  B - B
Oh, not me, not I
    
      Em          C
I was wasting my life
       Em                C
Always thinking about myself
Em              C
Someone on the deathbed said
           F              B ( a-g-f# )
"There are other sorrows too"

Em                C
I was driving my car
Em                       C
I crashed and broke my spine
Em                        C
So yes, there are things worse in life than
 G           B
Never being someone's sweetie


Chorus (x2)

G      C#     B
As for me I'm ok
     D      F#   D    C - C - C - C - C  - C - C - C B
For now anyway
