Time Signature: 4/4
Tempo: 75


INTRO: E minorEm B minorBm G+G D MajorD x2


VERSE:
 E minorEm         B minorBm
Virginia Woolf and poetry
B minorBm
No one seemed to notice me
D MajorD              E minorEm
Being young was getting so old
E minorEm          B minorBm
Cheap beer and cigarettes
B minorBm
Life was like a movie set
G+G            D MajorD
And I seemed to be given no role

PRE-CHORUS:
    E minorEm
But in times of trouble
B minorBm
I can turn to my mother
    D MajorD          E minorEm
And I know that she gon’ understand
E minorEm
So at age 18
  B minorBm
I cried to my mother
     G+G       D MajorD
And she told me, “young man”


CHORUS:
              E minorEm       B minorBm
“There are moments when you fall to the ground
                G+G       D MajorD
But you are stronger than you feel you are now
             E minorEm      B minorBm
You don’t always have to speak so loud, no
   G+G     D MajorD
Just be as you are
            E minorEm     B minorBm
Life is not always a comfortable ride
         G+G        D MajorD
Everybody’s got scars that they hide
             E minorEm    B minorBm
And everybody plays the fool sometimes, yeah
   G+G     D MajorD
Just be as you are”

VERSE:
    E minorEm        B minorBm
They played me on the radio
B minorBm
And everything was changing, so
D MajorD          E minorEm
I thought I was all the way grown
E minorEm            B minorBm
But I can still remember in that cold November
     G+G         D MajorD
When I realized I’m all alone


PRE-CHORUS:
    E minorEm
But in times of trouble
B minorBm
I can turn to my mother
    D MajorD          E minorEm
And I know that she gon’ understand
E minorEm
So at age 22
  B minorBm
I cried to my mother
     G+G       D MajorD
And she told me, “young man”


CHORUS:
              E minorEm       B minorBm
“There are moments when you fall to the ground
                G+G       D MajorD
But you are stronger than you feel you are now
             E minorEm      B minorBm
You don’t always have to speak so loud, no
   G+G     D MajorD
Just be as you are
            E minorEm     B minorBm
Life is not always a comfortable ride
         G+G        D MajorD
Everybody’s got scars that they hide
             E minorEm    B minorBm
And everybody plays the fool sometimes, yeah
   G+G     D MajorD
Just be as you are””


INSTRUMENTAL: E minorEm B minorBm G+G D MajorD x4


BRIDGE:
E minorEm         B minorBm
If I’m speaking truthfully
B minorBm
I’m not who I used to be
D MajorD             E minorEm
And I know some people might laugh
    E minorEm              B minorBm
‘Cause my music doesn’t sound the same
B minorBm
And my head’s no longer shaved
   G+G           D MajorD
I’m worried if I’m on the right path


PRE-CHORUS:
    E minorEm
But in times of trouble
B minorBm
I can turn to my mother
    D MajorD          E minorEm
And I know that she gon’ understand
E minorEm
So at age 26
  B minorBm
I spoke to my mother
     G+G       D MajorD
And she told me, “young man”


CHORUS:
              E minorEm       B minorBm
“There are moments when you fall to the ground
                G+G       D MajorD
But you are stronger than you feel you are now
             E minorEm      B minorBm
You don’t always have to speak so loud, no
