🎸 Verse 1:
G D
Just another Sunday afternoon
Bm A
Crying, tryna drown out the sound
G D
Of fighting words coming from the living room
Bm A
Going shot for shot in another round
Em
We just sweep it under the rug
Em
Never talk about it at all
D
We just leave it all messed up
Bm A
Add another brick to the wall
🎸 Chorus:
G D
Yeah, the thing about growing old young
Bm A
You fast forward through the innocent stuff
G D
You cut straight to the falling out of love
Bm A
And thinking maybe you'll never be enough
G D
'Cause you've never kissed a boy, but your heart's in two
Bm A
Never had a drink but you know what it can do
G D A
Never got to see the world before yours came undonе
G
That's growing old young
|G D |Bm A | x2
🎸 Verse 2:
G D
A ten-year-old should be playing housе
Bm A
Not holding theirs together
G D
Or blaming yourself or wondering how
Bm A
The bad will ever get any better
🎸 Chorus:
G D
Yeah, the thing about growing old young
Bm A
You fast forward through the innocent stuff
G D
You cut straight to the falling out of love
Bm A
And thinking maybe you'll never be enough
G D
'Cause you've never kissed a boy, but your heart's in two
Bm A
Never had a drink but you know what it can do
G D A
Never got to see the world before yours came undonе
G
That's growing old young
🎸 Bridge:
G D
Growing old ain't a choice
Bm A
But sometimes, growing up ain't either
G D
When you get cut that young
Bm A
Time's the only healer
🎸 Chorus:
G D
But the thing about growing old young
Bm A
You'll learn how to get through the tough stuff
G D
You'll find a way to fall in love
Bm A
Without your past messing it up
G D
I know you've never kissed a boy, but your heart's in two
Bm A
Never had a drink but you know what it can do
G D A
Never got to see the world before yours came undone
G D Bm
I know you're growing old young
A G D Bm
I know you're growing old young
A D
That's the thing about growing old young
