[Verse]
G                        D                            Gmaj7
   Every time I think of growing up I find out that I just slipped back,
I got it all wrong you know I,
G                      D                           Gmaj7
   Feel younger than I did when I was younger on a backwards track

  G                           D                              Gmaj7
I thought by now I could have figured it all out instead I'm further back,
Feels kinda stupid but I,
G                D                          Gmaj7
   Feel 16 in my head but I guess it's only five years back
[Pre-Chorus]
    C    Bm       G7      C
But I... won't... see the signs

   Cm                        G            Am ...
it took so long but you were always on my mind, yeah,
[Chorus]
G                                 Dsus4                        Em7
  For all the times I've tried to take a little time out for myself,

         G      G      G     G     C
I'm just grow - ing    all   a  -  lone again

      C
But I find in my mind that I'm not.

G                          Dsus4                       Em7
   Time is running out and I just want to say I'm sorry now,

  G     G      G     G     C
Before  I'm    all   a  -  lone again, and I'm broken and cold

          C                   G
The aging superhero in me is tired

             C                   G
Because he's lived too fast for too long

             C              G
and he still longs to be inspired
[Verse]
G                   D                     G7
   I feel old, feel broke feel cold and I can't fight back,
It sounds so stupid I,
G                      D                      Gmaj7
   But it's gone, this train won't run, guess it must be the track
[Pre-Chorus]
    C    Bm       G7      C
But I... won't... see the signs

   Cm                        G             Am ...
