[Intro] |G |F#m |D |Em | (2x) [Verse 1]
G                                  F#m
 He's got nothing to say, he's got no excuse

           D                                Em
He's just made that way, and he's going to stay that way

        G                                           F#m
Like a dog on the loose in a firework display in a world of his own

            D                         Em
No, no, no, he won't back down or go running back home
[Chorus]
Dsus4                    D
He's come a long way in life

                       Dsus4
He's got a long way to go

               G    C#m
He don't even know, he don't care because

      F#5       E5  F#5      C#5  B5
He's growing up the hard way

In and out of trouble every day

       F#5        E5  F#5            C#5  B5
Now no telling where you'll end up, boy
[Instrumental] |G |F#m |D |Em | [Verse 2]
G                                       F#m
 And he's got nothing to say, like he's lost for the worlds, his mind is in a daze

D                            Em
 That's his way, it's just a little game he plays

 G                                 F#m
He's got nowhere to run while the city sleeps he wanders alone

D                                   Em
 Cutting through the steel and the hearts of stone
[Chorus]

Growing up the hard way

              F#5       E5          F#5   C#5  B5
You'd better walk the straight and narrow
