Verse 1:
A          Gbm
I live my life
        Bm                 E
Like a coming of age film
A                    Gbm
Won't stop for some time
            Bm                  E
'Cause I'm coming of age still

Pre-chorus:
Gbm                    A
Sometimes people are mean
              B                    B7
So I used to hide in the washing machine
        D
But my legs kept on growing
    E
And I got to knowing
      A               Gbm
That I wouldn't fit anymore
          Bm
Sometimes I still go back
         E                    Gbm    B7
But my legs dangle out of the door Oooo
          D                        E                     A     E D
Lately skipping on school is the route I prefer to take more

Chorus:
Bm                      D   E Gbm E D
What does that make of me?
Bm               D E      Gbm E D
Why do I keep on growing?

Verse 2:
          A         E      Gbm
Looking forward to annual things
          Bm                     E
Not my birthday, try New Year's Eve
        A         E        Gbm
Once a year, we start a new year
     Bm                   E
Yet again, it's not guaranteed
           A         E     Gbm
Looking forward to less nowadays
        Bm             E
Wonder if age plays a part
          A            E          Gbm
Hope my brush doesn't run out of paint
        Bm      E
Before I even start

Bridge:
      Gbm                  A
But where's my field of flowers?
               B
Where's the soulmate that I meet by chance?
         A                                E                 Gbm     B7
Least I don't have to race 'gainst the terminal tropes of romance
        A
But I wouldn't mind rain
        E
Or to only speak solely in
  Gbm    E          D
Poetry quotes or a dance
      Bm
Or a ticket to France
                  A             D    E   A   E Gbm
I find myself stepping on ants accidentally

Chorus:
Bm                      D  E A E Gbm
What does that make of me?
Bm                D   E   A  E Gbm
Why do I keep on growing?
Bm                      D   E A E Gbm
What does that make of me?
Bm                D    Dm
Why do I keep on growing?

Verse 3:
A      Gbm          Bm                 E
I realize that I'm coming of age still
A          Gbm            Bm
I think I might be just coming of age 'til
                 E       Gbm
The day that I cease to exist
                 B7
Roll the credits, I insist
        D
Someday I may just wrinkle
      E                         Gbm
And shrink down enough to still fit
               B
The washing machine
          Bm                         E                          A    D  A D A
And I'll hide from my worries as my credits roll down on the screen
