Guitar chords with lyrics

  • Difficulty: Beginner 👶
Key: D

No Capo

Verse 1:
             D
Do you wanna be
          G
Like your father?
              D
The older you get




                    G
Your head's gettin' hotter
            D
Pick up the phone
         G
When he calls you
              D
You know he's alone
                          G
He's preaching 'cause he loves you
                D
Where have you been?
            G
Jack's been waiting
                    D
In your room every night
                   G
Why don't you stay home tonight?

Chorus:
D                    G
Could you waste your life
Em             G
If you painted mine?
D               G
Now the day has died
             F#m             Em
But it's too late to close your eyes

D    D

Verse 2:
G       G
Ahhh   ahhh
D
Time keeps telling me to change
                    G
But I'm fragile and afraid
G        G
Ahhh   ahhh

Bm  D     Bm     D     G

Chorus:
D                   G
Could you waste your life
Em           G
If you painted mine?
D                G
Now the day has died
              F#m         Em
But it's too late to close your eyes
F#m           Em
To close your eyes
F#m        Em
Close your eyes

Bridge:
D
The clock it ticks
             G
I have to get older
D
When I wake up
                A
And the dream is over
D
Packed away
          G
My life moving slower
D          A           G
Oh I'd hate to get any older
D           A         G
Oh I'd hate to get any older

           D
Do you wanna be
(The clock it ticks
I have to get older)
          G
Like your father?
              D
The older you get
(When I wake up and the dream is over)
                     G
Your head's gettin' hotter
           D
Pick up the phone
(Packed away, my life moving slower)
            G
When he calls you
        D       A          G
Oh I'd hate to get any older
        D       A         G
Oh I'd hate to get any older

D G Em G
D G Em G

Outro:
D                 G
I always knew I'd let you go
Em             G
Have to see you die to grow
D                           G
Don't you let them tell you who you are
Em                     G
Hope that as you keep collecting scars
         D    A      Em     G
You never know my pain

D G Em G
