Growing Pains

Key: AmMedium

AmTry to change your mind, it's like the Emweather

And Amyou don't make my heart beat like you Emused to

FI've been waiting for a sign

DmYou've been saving Emall your lines

AmWe could save each other for the Embetter

And Amwhen you say my name I'll be a Emmemory

FThis is more than we have planned

DmChoices takeEmn from our hands

DmFinally thEmis fades to stand aFlone

My mind is a FrunawayG

And I'll find it's Emtoo hard to Ambreathe

Just say what you Fwant to sayG

Are you there?

EmTell me, are you theAmre?

I fear these Fgrowing paiGns

Have made us Emfar too Amstrong

We'll change if you Fwant to changeG

Are you there?

EmTell me, are you theAmre?

AmYou could lose yourself and search forEmever

AmLooking for the person that you'll Emnever be

FWe've been trying to compensate

DmTime to learn Emfrom our mistakes

AmMaybe one day we'll fit back toEmgether

AmI'll pick up the pieces and we'll Emrearrange

FNow we need to follow fate

DmNow we look Emthe other way

DmNow we find Emthe strength to stand aFlone

My mind is a FrunawayG

And I'll find it's Emtoo hard to Ambreathe

Just say what you Fwant to sayG

Are you there?

EmTell me, are you theAmre?

FaGmiliar Cfaces turning Eminto sFtorms

And she don't want to Ggo outside Dtonight

And in a Bmpipe she flies to the DMotherland Em

Or sells love to anGother man Bm

It's too cGold outDside

For angels to Bmfly

Angels to Gfly D

DRipped gloves, raincoat

Tried to swim and F#mstay afBmloat

Dry Ghouse, wet Dclothes

DLoose change, bank notes

Weary-eyed, F#mdry Bmthroat

Call Ggirl, no Dphone
