Verse 1:
When [A]was it [E/G#]that you
[F#m]lost your [E]youth or [D]traded[A/C#] [D]
It for [A]something [E/G#]more
for [F#m]them to [E]use so [D]jaded[A/C#] [D]
Why [F#m]is it that you
never said I [E]love you
more than just a friend
I [D]pray this gridlock
[A/C#]ne---[D]ver ends[A/C#] [D] And when
we get there [E]just depends
[A]I found out [E/G#]recent[F#m]ly
that [E]you are [D]leaving[A/C#] [D]
For [A]good I [E/G#]hope I
[F#m]softly [E]tell my [D]ceiling[A/C#] [D]
It's [F#m]better now to be alive
S[E]leeping is my 9 to 5
I'm [D]having nightmares
[A/C#]all [D]the time[A/C#] [D]
Of running out of
[E]words that rhyme
Chorus:
[A]Everything that
you could never
[E]say Would never
matter any[F#m]way
I took a hammer and two
[D]nails to my [E]eardrums long
a[A]go Before that steak
knife took my [E]eyes
I looked up to the s[F#m]ky
For the last thing
I would [D]ever see For
[E]the last time I'd cry

Verse 2:
When [A]was it [E/G#]that you
[F#m]sold your [E]life or [D]wasted[A/C#] [D]
Every [A]bite of [E/G#]that small
s[F#m]lice you [E]never [D]tasted[A/C#] [D]
I [F#m]guess I should
be one to talk
There's [E]nights that
I can't even walk
There's [D]days I
couldn't [A/C#]give [D]a fuck[A/C#] [D]
And in between is
[E]where I'm stuck From
[A]blocks a[E/G#]way I [F#m]heard
some[E]body s[D]creaming[A/C#] [D]
That small [A]child in[E/G#]side
of [F#m]you that [E]you left
[D]bleeding[A/C#] [D] You s[F#m]tabbed
him up not once but twice
[E]Cubicles will now suffice
Some [D]say it's the
roll [A/C#]of [D]the dice[A/C#] [D]
I think they're wrong
I [E]know I'm right
(Repeat Chorus)

In [A]case you're wondering
I'm singing[D] about growing

I'm singing[D] about growing
up[E] about giving in
In [A]case you're wondering
I'm singing[D] about growing
up[E] about giving in
In [A]case you're wondering
I'm singing[D] about growing
up[E] about giving [D]up
