Growing Pains Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][D]
(You're on your own, kid)

[Verse 1]
(You are)
[G]Make my way through the motions,
I try to [D]ignore it
But home's looking farther the closer I [G]get
Don't know why I can't see the end
Is it over [D]yet?
A [G]short leash and a short fuse don't match
They tell me it ain't that [D]bad
Now don't you overreact
So I just hold my [G]breath,
don't know why
I can't see the sun
when young should [D]be fun (fun)

[Pre-chorus 1]
And I guess the [G]bad can get better
Gotta be wrong before it's right
E[D]very happy phrase engraved in my mind
And I've always [G]been a go-getter
There's truth in every word I write
But [D]still the growing pains, growing pains

[Chorus 1]
They're keeping me up at night
[G]Hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, yeah
And I [D]can't hide
'Cause growing pains
are keeping me up at night
[G]Hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, yeah
And I [Bm]can't hide
'Cause growing [A]pains

[Verse 2]
are keeping me up at night
[G]Try to mend
what's left of my content [D]incomprehen- sion
As I take on the stress
of the mess that I've [G]made
Don't know if I even care for "grown"
If it's just [D]alone

[Pre-chorus 2]
And I guess the [G]bad can get better
Gotta be wrong before it's right
E[D]very happy phrase engraved in my mind
And I've always [G]been a go-getter
There's truth in every word I write
But [D]still the growing pains, growing pains

[Chorus 2]
They're keeping me up at night
[G]Hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, yeah
And I [D]can't hide
'Cause growing pains
are keeping me up at night
[G]Hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, yeah
And I [Bm]can't hide
'Cause growing [A]pains

[Outro 1]
are keeping me up at night
[G]Starting to look like Ms. Know-it-all
Can't take her own advice
Can't [D]find pieces of peace of mind, I cry
More than I want to admit
But I can't [G]lie to myself, to anyone
'Cause phonin' it in isn't any fun
Can't [D]run back to my youth the way I want to
The days my brother was quicker to [G]fool
AM radio, not much to do
Used monsters as an excuse to [D]lie awake
Now the monsters are the ones
that I have to face
No band-aids for the growing [G]pains
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah (ah yeah)
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah
[Bm]Hey, hey, hey, yeah
[A]No, no band-aids for the growing pains
