Intro:

You're on your own, kid

You are


Verse 1:
A augmentedA                      E MajorE
Make my way through the motions, I try to ignore it
                     A augmentedA
But home's looking farther the closer I get

Don't know why I can't see the end
     E MajorE
Is it over yet? Hmm
 A augmentedA
A majorA short leash and a short fuse don't match
              E MajorE
They tell me it ain't that bad, now don't you overreact
            A augmentedA
So I just hold my breath, don't know why
                   E MajorE
I can't see the sun when young should be fun

Pre-Chorus:
        A augmentedA
And I guess the bad can get better

Gotta be wrong before it's right
 E MajorE
Every happy phrase engraved in my mind
        A augmentedA
And I've always been a go-getter

There's truth in every word I write
  E MajorE
But still the growing pains, growing pains

They're keeping me up at night


Chorus:
A augmentedA
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah

Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
     E MajorE
And I can't hide 'cause growing pains are keeping me up at night
A augmentedA
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah

Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey
     C# minorC#m          BB
And I can't hide 'cause growing pains are keeping me up at night

Verse 2:
A augmentedA                        E MajorE
Try to mend what's left of my content incomprehension

As I take on the stress of the mess that I've made
A augmentedA                          E MajorE
Don't know if I even care for "grown" if it's just alone, yeah


Pre-Chorus:
        A augmentedA
And I guess the bad can get better

Gotta be wrong before it's right
 E MajorE
Every happy phrase engraved in my mind
        A augmentedA
And I've always been a go-getter

There's truth in every word I write
  E MajorE
But still the growing pains, growing pains

They're keeping me up at night


Chorus:
A augmentedA
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah

Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
     E MajorE
And I can't hide 'cause growing pains are keeping me up at night
A augmentedA
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah

Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey
     C# minorC#m          BB
And I can't hide 'cause growing pains are keeping me up at night


Outro:
A augmentedA
Starting to look like Ms. Know-it-all

Can't take her own advice
     E MajorE
Can't find pieces of my peace of mind

I cry more than I'd like to admit
        A augmentedA
But I can't lie to myself, to anyone

'Cause phoning it in isn't any fun
     E MajorE
Can't run back to my youth the way I want to
                  A augmentedA
The days my brother was quicker to fool

AM radio, not much to do
           E MajorE
Used monsters as an excuse to lie awake
E MajorE
Now the monsters are the ones that I have to face

No band-aids for the growing pains
A augmentedA
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah

Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
C# minorC#m              BB
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah, hey

No band-aids for the growing pains
