[Intro] Em Bm G D Em Bm G D [Verse 1]
  Em                   Bm
Virginia Woolf and poetry

Bm
No one seemed to notice me

D                       Em
Being young was getting so old

Em                      Bm
Cheap beer and cigarettes

Bm
Life was like a movie set

G                        D
And I seemed to be given no role
[Pre-chorus 1]
       Em
But in times of trouble

Bm
I can turn to my mother

      D                     Em
And I know that she gon' understand

       Em
So at age 18

Bm
I cried to my mother

        G               D
And she told me, "young man"
[Chorus 1]
                           Em           Bm
There are moments when you fall to the ground

                              G            D
But you are stronger than you feel you are now

                         Em           Bm
You don't always have to speak so loud, no

G              D
Just be as you are

                      Em         Bm
Life is not always a comfortable ride

                G               D
Everybody's got scars that they hide

                        Em            Bm
And everybody plays the fool sometimes, yeah

G              D
Just be as you are
[Verse 2]
     Em                    Bm
They played me on the radio

Bm
And everything was changing, so

D                       Em
I thought I was all the way grown

    Em                     Bm
But I can still remember in the cold November

      G                 D
When I realized I'm all alone
[Pre-chorus 2]
       Em
But in times of trouble

Bm
I can turn to my mother

      D                      Em
And I know that she gon' understand

      Em

It doesn't matter if you become some star

                        G         D
Life is better when you open your heart

                         Em         Bm
You don't always have to act so hard, no

G                   D
Just be as you are, just be as you are
[Bridge] Em Bm G D
    C                     Bm
If I'm speaking truthfully

Bm
I'm not who I used to be

D                       C
And I know some people might laugh

         C                        Bm
Cause my music doesn't sound the same

Bm
And my head's no longer shaved

D
I'm worried if I'm on the right path
[Pre-chorus 3]
       Em
But in times of trouble

Bm
I can turn to my mother
