Or do I gotta scream Cadd9 Like I did every day when I was troubled teen? Aah Em7 G Do you wanna know my past Cadd9 And see every single scar, know what they mean? Aah Em7 G Cadd9 Seventeen running up in Mickey D's, begging for a double-cheese, aah Dsus2 Singing, "I don't wanna grow up, don't nobody like you when you're twenty three", I Em7 G Cadd9 Came from nothing but a fucking unsupportive father I don't ever see, I Em7 G Cadd9 Had to watch a crooked jury put my brother in a penitentiary, I Em7 G Cadd9 Never fit in, criticism, made me the man I couldn't be, I'm Dsus2 Reminiscing on when life was different, spending every day at Chuck E. Cheese, aah!

Maybe I should, run away Cadd9 Try to find a, summer day Em7 G What is love? Love is pain Cadd9 Love is butterflies and stomach aches Em7 G Love is looking out a window pane Cadd9 Tears dripping, looking like you in the rain Dsus2 For someone you don't even know but for somebody you may never see again, aah Em7 G I am only, alive once Cadd9 And I'ma die, when God wants Em7 G So fill the sky, with diamonds Cadd9 'cause that's how it's gon' look when I'm gone Em7 G Cadd9 Had a vision as a kid that one day I would change the world with my song Dsus2 Several years have passed and now that vision came to life, that boy's a fucking icon Chorus: Em7 G Cadd9 G We live on front porches and swing life away, Em7 G Cadd9 Cadd9 We get by just fine here on minimum wage Em7 G Cadd9 G If love is a labor I'll slave 'til the end, Em7 G Cadd9 Dsus2 And I'll run these streets if you give me a chance Bridge: N.C. Sometimes I don't want to fuckin' wake up When all they wanna do is bring me down And all the things I went through as I came up Are the fuckin' reasons why I run this town Chorus: N.C. We live on front porches and swing life away, (it's all about this) We get by just fine here on minimum wage (I told you, woo!) Em7 G Cadd9 G If love is a labor I'll slave 'til the end, ('til the end) Em7 G Cadd9 Dsus2 And I'll run these streets if you give me a chance Em7 G Cadd9 G We live on front porches and swing life away, (All my dreamers) Em7 G Cadd9 Cadd9 We get by just fine here on minimum wage (Stay real) Em7 G Cadd9 G If love is a labor I'll slave 'til the end, (And to my love) Em7 G Cadd9 Dsus2 And I'll run these streets if you give me a chance (Stay here) Outro: Em7 G Cadd9 G Swing life away, (ay what we do?)
