Verse 1:
Db                 Ebm7
  I wish I had the number to my younger self,
Bbm               Gb
  I'd pick up the phone and say you're only 12,
Db                Ebm7
  And you've lost more than most people do,
Bbm               Gb
You don't know it now but there's still more to lose.

Pre-chorus 1:
Db                  Ebm7               Bbm
Cause friends move away and people get older,
                   Gb             Db
Your heart's gonna break over and over,
              Ebm7                      Bbm
You're not to blame, so don't blame yourself,
Bbm               Gb
I hope this helps.

Chorus:
                 Db
You're gonna ask why?
                  Ebm7
You're gonna want answers,
      Bbm                        Gb
Gonna feel like no one ever understands you,
                   Db                     Ebm7
You're gonna think twice before you start praying,
    Bbm                             Gb
And wonder when the walls will stop caving,
                      Db       Ebm7
Hate to be the one to tell you this,
(nc)
But you'll be alright kid.

Verse 2:
Db                   Ebm7
 I wish you knew the feeling wasn't permanent,
Bbm                  Gb
I wish you knew your brother would come back again,
Db             Ebm7
 And time does heal but don't heal everything,
Bbm             Gb
 If you knew it now who you were gonna be,

Pre-chorus 2:
Db              Ebm7                 Fm
 You might care less about what they think,
                 Gb                   Db
Stop trying to impress the people who leave,
                 Ebm7                     Fm
It scares you to death, but don't take it hard,
                 Ab
Cause I know you are.

Chorus:
                 Db

                  Ebm7
You're gonna want answers,
      Bbm                        Gb
Gonna feel like no one ever understands you,
                   Db                     Ebm7
You're gonna think twice before you start praying,
    Bbm                             Gb
And wonder when the walls will stop caving,
                      Db       Ebm7
Hate to be the one to tell you this,
                Bbm
But you'll be alright.

Bridge:
Bbm              Ab
Growing up's not easy,
Fm                 Gb
But it's gonna get better,
Bbm              Ab
Growing up's not easy,
  Fm   Gb
Alone . . .

Hate to be the one to tell you this,

Hate to be the one to tell you this,
