Capo on 4th fret Intro: G Cadd9 (4x) G Cadd9 G Cadd9 It's been 10 years of investment G Cadd9 G Cadd9 It's been one foot in and one out G Cadd9 G Cadd9 It's been 4 days of full of shit G Cadd9 G Cadd9 And I feel snuffed out G Cadd9 G Cadd9 It's been 33 years of restraining G Cadd9 G Cadd9 Of trying to control this tumult G Cadd9 G Cadd9 How I did invest in such fantasy G Cadd9 G Cadd9 But my nervous system has worn out Em D Bm C I feel done, I feel raked over coals Em D C And all that remains is the case That it's a bitch to grow up G Cadd9 (4x) G Cadd9 G Cadd9 I've repeated this dance ad-nauseum G Cadd9 G Cadd9 There's still something to learn that I've not G Cadd9 G Cadd9 I'm told to see this as divine perfection G Cadd9 G But my bones don't feel this perfection Em D Bm C I feel done, I feel raked over coals Em D C And all that remains is the case That it's a bitch to grow up G Cadd9 (4x) G Cadd9 G Cadd9 I've spent life hovering above bottom G Cadd9 G Cadd9 Thinking I can't survive what's below G Cadd9 G Cadd9 But I've known through the kicking and screaming G Cadd9 G Cadd9 That there was no other direction to go Em D Bm C I feel done, I feel raked over coals Em D C And all that remains is the case That it's a bitch to grow up G Cadd9 (26x)
