 Gentlemen place your debts

 Payment in full

By future you

I think we can all agree

 The ending is off to a great start

 The present is soon replaced

 In small increments

 Attention fades

 One or another way,

 The house collects its mark
[Chorus]
 Em7    Dsus4   Cadd9
How do we keep making

Em7      Dsus4   Cadd9
All the same mistakes?

      Em7    Dsus4    Cadd9        D
We’d rather have the misery than growing pains

G           D
 I chose a mystery

Am            C
 Went there alone, intentionally

 Had to forgive myself

Am          C
 Grieving imaginary loss

G                        D
 You’ll pay with the life not lived

Am
 Pay with each thought

C
 Of what could have been

G                   D
 But nothing adds to the cost

Am                    C
 Like missing the ride you’re on
[Chorus]
 Em7    Dsus4   Cadd9
How do we keep making

Em7      Dsus4   Cadd9
All the same mistakes?

      Em7    Dsus4    Cadd9        D
We’d rather have the misery than growing pains, growing pains
[Instrumental] | G | Em | D | C | 2x | Em7 Dsus4 | Cadd9 | D | D | [Verse 3]
G            D
 Gentlemen place your debts

Am
 I’d wish you good luck

C
 But luck isn’t it

G                D
 The driver and passenger

Am                   C
 Don’t go the same place
[Chorus]
 Em7    Dsus4   Cadd9
How do we keep making

Em7      Dsus4   Cadd9
All the same mistakes?

      Em7    Dsus4    Cadd9        D
We’d rather have the misery than growing pains
