E
Make my way through the motions, I try to ignore it
A
But home's looking farther the closer I get
Don't know why I can't see the end
E
Is it over yet? hmm
A
A short leash and a short fuse don't match
E
They tell me it ain't that bad, now don't you overreact
A
So I just hold my breath, don't know why
E
I can't see the sun when young should be fun
A
And I guess the bad can get better
Gotta be wrong before it's right
E
Every happy phrase engraved in my mind
A
And I've always been a go-getter
There's truth in every word I write
C#m
B
But still the growing pains, growing pains
They're keeping me up at night
A
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
E
And I can't hide 'cause growing pains are keeping me up at night
A
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah

B
And I can't hide 'cause growing pains are keeping me up at night
A
E
Try to mend what's left of my content incomprehension
A
As I take on the stress of the mess that I've made
E
Don't know if I even care for "grown" if it's just alone, yeah
A
And I guess the bad can get better
Gotta be wrong before it's right
E
Every happy phrase engraved in my mind
A
I've always been a go-getter
There's truth in every word I write

But still the growing pains, growing pains
They're keeping me up at night

Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah

And I can't hide 'cause growing pains are keeping me up at night
A
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah

A
Starting to look like Ms. Know-it-all
Can't take her own advice
E
Can't find pieces of my peace of mind
I cry more than I'd like to admit
A
But I can't lie to myself, to anyone
'Cause phoning it in isn't any fun
E
Can't run back to my youth the way I want to
A
The days my brother was quicker to fool
AM radio,
E
Used monsters as an excuse to lie awake
Now the monsters are the ones that I have to face
A
No band-aids for the growing pains
C#m
B
No, no
No band-aids for the growing pains
