[Intro] N.C. You're on your own, kid You are [Verse 1]
A                                            E
Make my way through the motions, I try to ignore it

                                         A
But home's looking farther the closer I get
Don't know why I can't see the end
         E
Is it over yet? Hmm

  A
A short leash and a short fuse don't match

                            E
They tell me it ain't that bad, now don't you overreact

                        A
So I just hold my breath, don't know why

                                      E
I can't see the sun when young should be fun
[Pre-Chorus]
                A
And I guess the bad can get better
Gotta be wrong before it's right
 E
Every happy phrase engraved in my mind

                A
And I've always been a go-getter
There's truth in every word I write
    E
But still the growing pains, growing pains
They're keeping me up at night [Chorus]
A
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
         E
And I can't hide 'cause growing pains are keeping me up at night

A
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey
         C#m                    B
And I can't hide 'cause growing pains are keeping me up at night
[Verse 2]
A                                               E
Try to mend what's left of my content incomprehension
As I take on the stress of the mess that I've made
A                                                   E
Don't know if I even care for "grown" if it's just alone, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
                A
And I guess the bad can get better
Gotta be wrong before it's right
 E
Every happy phrase engraved in my mind

                A
And I've always been a go-getter
There's truth in every word I write
    E
But still the growing pains, growing pains
They're keeping me up at night [Chorus]
A
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
         E
And I can't hide 'cause growing pains are keeping me up at night

A
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey
         C#m                    B
And I can't hide 'cause growing pains are keeping me up at night
[Outro]
A
Starting to look like Ms. Know-it-all
Can't take her own advice
         E
Can't find pieces of my peace of mind
I cry more than I'd like to admit
               A
But I can't lie to myself, to anyone
'Cause phoning it in isn't any fun
         E
Can't run back to my youth the way I want to

                                   A
The days my brother was quicker to fool
AM radio, not much to do
                      E
Used monsters as an excuse to lie awake

E
Now the monsters are the ones that I have to face
No band-aids for the growing pains
A
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
C#m                           B
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah, hey
No band-aids for the growing pains
