Intro: C#m Bm
C#m A
Growing up is giving up
E
I'll sleep sideways on the bed in my moms basement
A
It's where I feel at home
Bm C#m E
You'll sleep with regret and no heart left in your chest
C#m
I don't want to end up like you
Bm A
Your eyes are set on what you'll never have
Bm C#m
There's days I feel like a different person
A Bm C#m E
But I always come back to who I really am
A E
The American dream is dead, I'm still just a kid
A E
Balancing on the sidewalks of this suburban town
A E C#m
Maybe this year I'll be able to stand up on my feet
Bm
Or maybe I'll fall again
A E
I never want to grow out of this skin
C#m
That's been dragged through the dirt
Bm A
That's what made me find happiness
Interlude: A E5 E5* A E5 E5*
A E5
My thumbs are broken but I'll take these broken thumbs
E5* A
Over your grip on an empty life
E5 E5* A E
Your empty life
