[Intro] |A / / /|/ / / /|E / / /|Emaj7 / / /| [Verse 1]
A                                           E
Make my way through the motions, I try to ignore it

                   Emaj7
But home's looking farther the closer I get

A
Don't know why I can't see the end

          E     Emaj7
Is it over yet? Hmm

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

                               E                  Emaj7
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   Emaj7
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                    Emaj7
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                                 Emaj7
But still, the growing pains, growing pains
N.C. They're keeping me up at night [Chorus]
A
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
      E                         Emaj7
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, yeah Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey
      B     C#m                 B/D#
And I can't hide 'cause growing pains are keeping me up at night
[Verse 2]
A                                             E  Emaj7
Try to mend what's left of my content incomprehension

                        N.C.                  A
As I take on the stress of the mess that I've made

                                                   E      Emaj7
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                    Emaj7
Every happy phrase engraved in my mind

            A
I've always been a go-getter
There's truth in every word I write
    E                                 Emaj7
But still, the growing pains, growing pains
N.C. They're keeping me up at night [Chorus]
A
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
      E                         Emaj7
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, yeah Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey
      B     C#m                 B/D#
And I can't hide 'cause growing pains are keeping me up at night
[Bridge]
A
Starting to look like Ms. Know-it-all

                     E
Can't take her own advice

                                 Emaj7
Can't find pieces of my peace of mind
I cry more than I want 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

                                     Emaj7
Now the monsters are the ones that I have to face
No band-aids for the growing pains [Outro]
A
Hey, hey, hey yeah, hey yeah (oh yeah)

                    B   C#m
Hey, hey, hey yeah, hey yeah
Hey, hey, hey yeah, hey yeah (no, no)
B    N.C.
Hey (no band-aids for the growing pains)
