Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
D

Verse:
D                                        G
I wanna cut my hair but grow it out real long
                        F#                 Em
Whatever choice I make, something feels so wrong
                                    D
I wanna drive with the windows down tonight
                                       G
I bring a lighter with me everywhere I go
                                 F#           Em
But what the hell’s the point if I don’t even smoke
                                           D
My lips are dry from the way you kissed me last night

Chorus:
    G     Em    D
And oh, I wanna die
                 Em       A       D
I wanna make the ones who love me cry
                   F#
Take a snapshot of life
                Em

Pre-Chorus:
D                                         G
I wanna burn my clothes and run away from home
                       F#7           Em7
But I’m not willing to throw away my phone
                       A         D
Is it cliche, I always feel this way
                                      G
All of the songs are about being seventeen
                         F#7
I guess the younger life isn’t as interesting
    Em7       Em                             D
Get drunk and cry off of my parents’ cooking wine

Pre-Chorus:
    G       E     D
And I don’t wanna die
                 Em       A       C
I wanna make the ones who love me cry
                   F#7
Take a snapshot of life
                E7     Em

Chorus:
C                 E
I can do it on my own
        Am
I don’t need your hand to hold
            F             G
But growing up is getting old
    C                  E     E7
But I could do it if I tried
        Am
Getting by with what I’m told
               F
‘Cause growing up is getting old
                Dm
It’s getting old

Bridge:
                  C
I wanna do as I’m told
            Dm
I’m getting by

Off the thought that
C                    E
I could be what they want me to be

Chorus:
            Am
But I don’t need your hand to hold
        F             G
Growing up is getting old
    C                  E
But I could do it if I tried
        Am
Getting by with what I’m told
               F             G
‘Cause growing up is getting old
