🎸 Intro:

Em7   G




🎸 Verse 1:
Em7
When I was younger
                      G
A couple years back I knew a boy
Em7
Knew how to make every one around him laugh
            G
Though he'd never known much joy
       C
'Cause when he was a child he had been abandoned
       G
And he found it hard to trust that no one else would leave him stranded
       C   D    Em
It was all he'd known

🎸 Chorus:
Em
Everyone's just lookin' for a purpose
G
Searchin' for someone to tell them how much their worth
Em
Followin' lights that always burn out in seconds
G                          D
Maybe when I'm older it'll all make sense


🎸 Interlude:
Em   G


🎸 Verse 2:
Em
Somewhere along the road
Em
Close to seventeen
        G
I met a girl
    Em
She spent so much time tryin' to be enough
    G
And fighting for approval
           Cmaj7
'Cause the boy that she liked said she had to be thinner
        G
And her mother agreed
       Em                           Cmaj7 D  Em
So she kept skippin' dinner and she stuck it out
           C    D  Em D
I hope she made it out


🎸 Chorus:
Em
Everyone's just lookin' for a purpose
G
Searchin' for someone to tell them how much their worth
Em
Followin' lights that always burn out in seconds
G                          D
Maybe when I'm older it'll all make sense
Em
Maybe when I'm older it'll all make sense
G
Maybe when I'm older it'll all make sense
Bm                                       C  N.C.
Maybe when I'm older it'll all make sense


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


Guitar 🎸 Solo:
C   D   Em   Bm


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