Verse 1:

Dm                    A     Dm
Today would have been the perfect day to go to the beach
                   A
I'm on the sofa trying to get over a hate speech
                   Dm
We do not love ourselves the way the prophets teach

Verse 2:

Dm                  A      Dm
Even Jesus kept his feelings like a lamp in the dark
                      A
Until he flipped the tables over up in the market

Oh Mother, there are lamps but there are ... sparks

But I need to know

I've gotta see it for myself
      Dm
I've gotta learn it on my own

She’s coming up for the rising like the dark before dawn
                        A
She has come to a place and she feels like her love’s gone
               Dm
She has come of an age and a line should be drawn

Verse 4:
Dm                      A     Dm
He’s walking around in a tank top getting caught in a bluff

Little boys do not cry, don’t you think that you’re hot stuff?

Its real tough when your daddy don’t call you enough, oh

Bridge:

Dm          C          Bb
Striking matches to watch ‘em burn in my childhood bedrooms
Dm          C           Bb
Little time, little water and light, little seed, every bud blooms
Dm                 C          Bb
And I've been striking matches to watch ‘em burn in my childhood bedrooms, ooh
Dm          C            Bb
Little time, little water and light, little seed, every bud blooms, oh

Verse 5:

Dm                    A   Dm
There are days I need to tell myself I’m doing alright
                       A
My inner child and my ego get caught up in a knife fight
                  Dm
I get nervous, and then I will get out of sight

Verse 6:

Dm                          A  A
'Cause everybody I came up with says that I’m going too slow, woah
     A   A                     A
But it’s cool though, 'cause I can hear my people when I check out the show
       A
I feel real low

And am I still growing or full grown?
