D 
Just a kid it's all the same 
A 
Growing up, it doesn't change 
Bm                             G 
Who are they to try and put us down? 
D 
Had enough of what they say 
A 
Sick and tired of all their games, 
Bm                           G 
Stand up and sing it with me now.

(Social casualty) 
 
D                
Just a girl turned 18 
A 
She ran away to chase her dreams. 
Bm                                 G 
And they said she wouldn't make it far. 
D                           
She took a chance and packed her bags 
A 
She left town and didn't look back 
Bm                         G 
So tired of wishing on the stars. 
(wishing on the stars.)
