growing pains

Alternative, maybe easier, version:
  • Transpose the chords 4 half steps down [ -4 ]
  • Put a capo on fret 4 to stay in the same key

Intro: B Ebm A E

Verse 1:
B                           Ebm
Sometimes, I wonder whether me when I was younger
      A                          E
Would like the person that I've become
 B                               Ebm
'Cause first impressions tend to last through adolescence
    A                       E
And she still kinda hates everyone

Pre-Chorus:
B         Ebm
You and I aren't so different
A             E
Hindsight has perfect vision
B                           Ebm
You don't even know all the places that you'll go
A                              E
But I'm sorry that you feel so alone

Chorus:
                       B                              Ebm
Everything's gonna get better, everything's gonna get worsе
                    A                                E
When it gets hard, remеmber that's the way it always works
                      B                            Ebm
Maybe we're just like flowers startin' down in the dirt
                    A                                 E
Everyone calls them growin' pains because we know the hurt

Verse 2:
B                            Ebm
Sometimes, I question when I look at my reflection
       A                     E
If the person looking back is really me -Is really me-
B                             Ebm
a couple years spent learning how to disappear
         A                          E
a couple more spent learning what I could be

Pre-Chorus:
 B        Ebm
You and I aren't so different
A             E
Hindsight has perfect vision
B                           Ebm
You don't even know all the places that you'll go
        A                      E
But I'm sorry that you feel so alone

Chorus:
                      B                              Ebm
Everything's gonna get better, everything's gonna get worse
                   A                                 E
When it gets hard, remember that's the way it always works
                      B                             Ebm
Maybe we're just like flowers startin' down in the dirt
                    A                                 E
Everyone calls them growin' pains because we know the hurt

Bridge:
Ebm          E                    Ebm
I can't help myself from fakin' a smile
                     E            Gb
Hard to break an old habit you've had for a while
Abm              Eb
I don't wanna be any less than me
Gb                       E
Sometimes, it's hard to believe

Chorus:
                      B                             Ebm
Everything's gonna get better, everything's gonna get worse
                    A                                 E
When it gets hard, remember that's the way it always works
                      B                            Ebm
Maybe we're just like flowers startin' down in the dirt
                    A                                 E
Everyone calls them growin' pains because we know the hurt
