[Intro]
E minorEm B minorBm G+G D MajorD (x2)

[Verse 1]
 E minorEm          B minorBm
Virginia Woolf and poetry

No one seemed to notice me
D MajorD            E minorEm
Being young was getting so old
E minorEm           B minorBm
Cheap beer and cigarettes

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 2]
   E minorEm          B minorBm
They played me on the radio

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 2]
              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
It doesn't matter if you become some star
            G+G     D MajorD
Life is better when you open your heart
             E minorEm     B minorBm
You don't always have to act so hard, no
G+G          D MajorD
Just be as you are, Just be as you are"

[Bridge]

E minorEm B minorBm G+G D(x4)

  C majorC           B minorBm
If I'm speaking truthfully

I'm not who I used to be
D MajorD            C majorC
And I know some people might laugh
     C majorC            B minorBm
Cause my music doesn't sound the same

And my head's no longer shaved
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 (Stop strumming)

And she told me, "young man"

[Chorus 2]
              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
E minorEm       D MajorD
Just be as you are
             E minorEm     B minorBm
It doesn't matter if you become some star
            G+G     D MajorD
Life is better when you open your heart
             E minorEm     B minorBm
You don't always have to act so hard, no
    D MajorD
Just be as you are, Just be as you are"

E minorEm B minorBm G+G D MajorD (x4)
