[Intro] You're on your own, kid You are [Verse 1]A E Make my way through the motions, I try to ignore itA But home's looking farther the closer I get Don't know why I can't see the endE Is it over yet? HmmA a short leash and a short fuse don't matchE They tell me it ain't that bad, now don't you overreactA So I just hold my breath, don't know whyE I can't see the sun when young should be fun [Pre-Chorus]A And I guess the bad can get better Gotta be wrong before it's rightE Every happy phrase engraved in my mindA And I've always been a go-getter There's truth in every word I writeE But still the growing pains, growing pains They're keeping me up at night [Chorus]A Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeahE And I can't hide 'cause growing pains are keeping me up at nightA Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah Hey, hey, hey, yeah, heyC#m B And I can't hide 'cause growing pains are keeping me up at night [Verse 2]A E Try to mend what's left of my content incomprehension As I take on the stress of the mess that I've madeA E Don't know if I even care for "grown" if it's just alone, yeah [Pre-Chorus]A And I guess the bad can get better Gotta be wrong before it's rightE Every happy phrase engraved in my mindA And I've always been a go-getter There's truth in every word I writeE But still the growing pains, growing pains They're keeping me up at night [Chorus]A Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeahE And I can't hide 'cause growing pains are keeping me up at nightA Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah Hey, hey, hey, yeah, heyC#m B And I can't hide 'cause growing pains are keeping me up at night [Outro]A Starting to look like Ms. Know-it-all Can't take her own adviceE Can't find pieces of my peace of mind I cry more than I'd like to admitA But I can't lie to myself, to anyone 'Cause phoning it in isn't any funE Can't run back to my youth the way I want toA The days my brother was quicker to fool AM radio, not much to doE Used monsters as an excuse to lie awakeE Now the monsters are the ones that I have to face No band-aids for the growing painsA Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeahC#m B Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah, hey No band-aids for the growing pains
