Verse 1:
             G
Thought when I grew up
        Am                 Em                       D
I would be the same as the ones who gave me my last name
        G                    Am
I would not give in, I would not partake
       Em                           D
In the same old drugs everyone else takes
 
 
Pre-chorus:
    C                     Em
I'm better than that, I'm better than that
    D                                                     G
I'm living my life so I go to heaven and never come back
    C                                 Em
But look where I'm at, look where I'm at
    D                                         (nc)
I'm living the life that I said I wouldn't, I wanna go back
 
 
Chorus:
Em                  C                G
  I used to call my mom every Sunday
                            D
So she knew her love wasn't far away
Em                       C            G
  But now I'm all xxxxxx up out in LA
                        D
'Cause I care more about what other people say
Em                   C                        G
  I used to not take chances with God's name
                 D
But it's been so long since I last prayed
Em                       C                          G
  And now I'm all xxxxxx up and my heart's changed
                        D
'Cause I care more about what other people say
G     Am    Em    G     Am    Em    G     B     Em
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
C
  'Cause I care more about what other people say
 
 
Verse 2:
       G                   Am
I wish I could shelter the boy I knew
         Em                        D
From the constant hell I'd put him through
           G                    Am
'Cause I'm all grown up and I'm black and blue
        Em                              D
I could use some tape, I could use some glue
 
 
Pre-chorus:
    C                     Em
I'm better than that, I'm better than that
            D
I should be living my life so I go to heaven and never come back
