Intro: Abm7  B

Verse 1:
Abm7
When I was younger
                      B
a couple years back I knew a boy
Abm7
Knew how to make every one around him laugh
            B
Though he'd never known much joy
       E
'Cause when he was a child he had been abandoned
       B
And he found it hard to trust that no one else would leave him stranded
       E   Gb   Abm
It was all he'd known

Chorus:
Abm
Everyone's just lookin' for a purpose
B
Searchin' for someone to tell them how much their worth
Abm
Followin' lights that always burn out in seconds
B                          Gb
Maybe when I'm older it'll all make sense

Interlude: Abm  B

Verse 2:
Abm
Somewhere along the road
Abm
Close to seventeen
        B
I met a girl
    Abm
She spent so much time tryin' to be enough
    B
And fighting for approval
           Emaj7
'Cause the boy that she liked said she had to be thinner
        B
And her mother agreed
       Abm                          Emaj7 Gb Abm
So she kept skippin' dinner and she stuck it out
           E    Gb Abm Gb
I hope she made it out

Chorus:
Abm
Everyone's just lookin' for a purpose
B
Searchin' for someone to tell them how much their worth
Abm
Followin' lights that always burn out in seconds
B                          Gb
Maybe when I'm older it'll all make sense
Abm
Maybe when I'm older it'll all make sense
B
Maybe when I'm older it'll all make sense
Ebm                                      E  (nc)
Maybe when I'm older it'll all make sense

Verse 3:
Abm
Everyone's just lookin' for a purpose
B
Numbers on a screen that tell you how much you're worth
            Abm
You hit the bottom of the bottle
Abm
Don't you feel so accomplished
    B
The money that you stole will burn a hole in your pocket
Abm
Another politician makes an empty promise
         E
'Til the internet gets made
E
Then forgets all about it
     B
In a month we'll circle back and realize nothin' happened
       Ebm
Twenty years of this
Ebm
I'm lucky that the world doesn't end
         E
Before I have a chance to screw it up and learn my lesson
Gb
California's burnin' and the schools are next
            Abm
I'm readin' books to fight the sadness and escape the present
Ebm
Maybe when I'm older it'll all make sense

Solo: E   Gb  Abm  Ebm

Outro:
Abm                                                    B
I've known a girl for all of twenty years she hates growing up
   Abm
So she started writing to expel all the thoughts that told her
B
She'd never be enough
E               Gb          Abm
People start to listen even though she has doubts
Abm
She got a hundred thousand questions
        Gb           Db
But she'll figure it out
E   Gb  Abm  B
