♫ Intro:

N.C.             Bbm
I should just be quiet
  Db                     Eb
I put my foot in my mouth
Ab                   Bbm
These days much too often
                Db
I come off as ungrateful
                       Eb
But I'm thankful for a lot

♫ Chorus:
N.C.               Ab
So why do I try so hard?
                     Db
I think I could use somebody
                Bbm
To tell me I'm doin' fine
                       Db
To tell me I'll get there someday
Dbm                     Ab
Think that I'm much too old
                  Db
To ever amount to something
                            Bbm
My mom says, "That's pretty dumb
                 Db
You turn 25 next month
        Dbm       Ab   Bbm
And you still got time
                     Db        Dbm    Ab
You've still got a lot of time"

♫ Verse:
Ab      N.C.      Bbm
I can't hear the silence
                  Db
My mind is always racing
          Eb
To get up ahead
   Ebm       Eb
My therapist said
Ab      N.C.
Rest is important
    Bbm
Take breaks and be patient
          Db
You don't always have to work so hard
       Eb                  N.C.
Please sleep beforе you're dead

Dbm                     Ab

You've still got a lot of time"

♫ Bridge:
N.C.
And if I peaked in high school
        Bbm
Then maybe I wouldn't care
          Db
But I was just another queer kid
      Eb
And I thought that I'd be dead
       Ab
By the time that I turned 20
          Bbm
Guess I'm pushing all my luck
       Db
Living past my life expectancy
       Eb
'Cause trans kids normally don't get this far

♫ Chorus:
N.C.               Ab
So why do I try so hard?
                     Db
I think I could use somebody
                Bbm
To tell me I'm doin' fine
                       Db
To tell me I'll get there someday
Dbm                     Ab
Think that I'm much too old
                  Db
To ever amount to something
                            Bbm
My mom says, "That's fucking stupid
                 Db
You turn 25 next month
        Dbm       Ab   Bbm
And you still got time
                     Db        Dbm    Ab
You've still got a lot of time"
