E minor 7Em7
When I was younger
           G+G
A augmentedA couple years back I knew a boy
E minor 7Em7
Knew how to make every one around him laugh
      G+G
Though he'd never known much joy
    C majorC
'Cause when he was a child he had been abandoned
    G+G
And he found it hard to trust that no one else would leave him stranded
    C majorC  D MajorD  E minorEm
It was all he'd known

🎸 Chorus:
E minorEm
Everyone's just lookin' for a purpose
G+G

Followin' lights that always burn out in seconds

Maybe when I'm older it'll all make sense

E minorEm
Somewhere along the road

Close to seventeen

She spent so much time tryin' to be enough

And fighting for approval
      Cmaj7Cmaj7
'Cause the boy that she liked said she had to be thinner
    G+G
And her mother agreed
    E minorEm              Cmaj7Cmaj7 D MajorD E minorEm
So she kept skippin' dinner and she stuck it out
      C majorC  D MajorD E minorEm D MajorD
I hope she made it out

🎸 Verse 3:
E minorEm
Everyone's just lookin' for a purpose
G+G
Numbers on a screen that tell you how much you're worth
      E minorEm
You hit the bottom of the bottle
E minorEm
Don't you feel so accomplished
  G+G
The money that you stole will burn a hole in your pocket
E minorEm
Another politician makes an empty promise
     C majorC
'Til the internet gets made
C majorC
Then forgets all about it
   G+G
In a month we'll circle back and realize nothin' happened
    B minorBm
Twenty years of this
B minorBm
I'm lucky that the world doesn't end
     C majorC
Before I have a chance to screw it up and learn my lesson
D MajorD
California's burnin' and the schools are next
      E minorEm
I'm readin' books to fight the sadness and escape the present
B minorBm
Maybe when I'm older it'll all make sense

E minorEm                           G+G
I've known a girl for all of twenty years she hates growing up
  E minorEm
So she started writing to expel all the thoughts that told her
G+G
She'd never be enough
C majorC        D MajorD      E minorEm
People start to listen even though she has doubts
E minorEm
She got a hundred thousand questions
    D MajorD      A augmentedA
But she'll figure it out
C majorC  D MajorD  E minorEm  G+G
Eventually
