[INTRO]
E
[VERSE 1]
A                                               E
Make my way through the motions, I try to ignore it
E
But home's looking farther the closer I get
 A 
Don't know why I can't see the end
            E
Is it over yet? Hmm

A 
A short leash and a short fuse don't match
                             E
They tell me it ain't that bad, now don't you overreact
E                      A 
So I just hold my breath, don't know why
A                               E
I can't see the sun when young should be fun

[PRE-CHORUS]
                  A 
And I guess the bad can get better
A 
Gotta be wrong before it's right
       E
Every happy phrase engraved in my mind
                  A
And I've always been a go-getter
A
There's truth in every word I write
      E
But still, the growing pains, growing pains
                              A
They're keeping me up at night

Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
A
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
A
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
             E
And I can't hide 'cause growing pains 
E
Are keeping me up at night
A
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah

Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
A
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah

       C#m                       B
And I can't hide 'cause growing pains 

Are keeping me up at night
 
[VERSE 2]
A                                                 E
Try to mend what's left of my content incomprehension
E                                                A
As I take on the stress of the mess that I've made
A
Don’t know if I even care for 
A                     E
"grown" if it's just alone, yeah

[PRE-CHORUS]
                  A 
And I guess the bad can get better
A 
Gotta be wrong before it's right
       E
Every happy phrase engraved in my mind
                  A
I've always been a go-getter
A
There's truth in every word I write
      E
But still, the growing pains, growing pains
                               A

[BRIDGE]
A
Starting to look like Ms. Know-it-all
A
Can't take her own advice
            E
Can't find pieces of my peace of mind
E
I cry more than I'd like 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
E                                      A
The days my brother was quicker to fool

A
AM radio, not much to do
                                E
Used monsters as an excuse to lie awake
E
Now the monsters are the ones that I have to face
E                               A
No band-aids for the growing pains
 
[OUTRO]
A
Hey, hey, hey yeah, hey yeah (oh yeah)
A
Hey, hey, hey yeah, hey yeah
C#m
Hey, hey, hey yeah, hey yeah (no, no)
      B
Hey (no band-aids for the growing pains)
