G                              C 
    I'm 20 something going on 20 something else 
         Em               D                 C 
And I?m years beyond my wise, I?m falling?apart 
G                          C 
    Welcome?to my head,?I reside here by myself 
             Em             D        C 
I take?what keeps me up at night at sell it as art 
 
 Post-Chorus
            G                 C                      G              D 
I tell my parents when they call that there ain?t nothing wrong at all 
           Em                    D                 C 
But they can see my nose grow longer through the phone 
 
 
   G                         C 
I just found out that the world goes on without me 
Em                            D 
I slow down, yeah, but it?s still too fast 
    C 
And I can only run until I?m out of breath 
   G                        C

Em                            D 
I slow down, yeah, but it?s still too fast

And I can only run until I?m out of breath

          Em                      D              C 
And so I hold her heart when my head gets in the way 
G                               C 
    We live in shambles like a 20 something should 
                Em                   D                C 
And, yeah, it rains a lot, but the rainbows make it worth it 
 
Post-Chorus

I tell my parents when they call that there ain?t nothing wrong at all 
           Em                    D                 C 
But they can see my nose grow longer through the phone
