The Growing Up Boy
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
C F C
[Verse 1]
F C
Friends wear the scars of the lessons you learned
F C
And you sit by the embers of the bridges you've burned
G F C
We all have a story and we each take a turn
Dm F C F C
Laughing at all of your shit
[Verse 2]
F C
And everyone is just somebody you knew
F C
And you never mean harm by the things that you do
G F C
But saying it through tears, don't make it true
Dm F C
Just makes it hard to forget it
[Chorus]
G F C
And the growing up boy, he never grows up
G F C
He's taunted by fear and haunted by love
Dm F C
Too late to learn, you've taken enough
F G C
Growing up boy
[Verse 3]
F C
It's heartache, it's heartbreak, it's dark clouds and then
F C
It's a day of self-pity and he's on the mend
G F C
He finds true love for the first time again
Dm F C
When the memory of the last girl lapses
[Verse 4]
F C
And he wakes up half-hearted and he looks at his phone
F C
For a message to remind him that he's not alone
G F C
And he always has many, but none are from home
Dm F C F
So he goes back to bed and collapses
[Chorus]
G F C
And the growing up boy, he never grows up
G F C
He's taunted by fear and haunted by love
Dm F C
Too late to learn, you've taken enough
F
Growing up boy
[Instrumental]
C F C
[Verse 5]
F C
'Each day is your birthday', is what I wrote in a card
F C
To say a kind word, I just found it too hard
G F C
I erased what I meant, so just disregard
Dm F C
Make what you want of this form
[Verse 6]
F C F C
Love is not like the songs that you sing
F C
How could you complain when it don't mean a thing
G F C
You can steal every verse and you break every string
Dm F C
And there's no one around when you're done
[Chorus]
G F C
And the growing up boy, he never grows up
G F C
He's taunted by fear and haunted by love
Dm F C
Too late to learn, you've taken enough
F C
Growing up boy, grow up
