[Verse 1]
C G/B Am
13 is hard enough
Dm C G/B
So busy growing up
C G/B Am G F
Now you’re sitting on a secret no one knows
C G/B Am
You see him after school
Dm C G/B
He barely looks at you
C G/B Am G F
‘Cause you’re both afraid that people might suppose

[Pre-Chorus]
F Em
I’ll see you in the mirror when you’re older
F Gsus4 G
For now just keep your head up on your shoulders

[Chorus]
C G
Life goes too fast
F
Heart breaks in two
C G
Tough times don’t last
Gsus4
Tough people do
Am G F
So wipe those tears from your crying eyes
F C/E Gsus4
‘Cause you only see the light shine in dark times

[Instrumental]
C G F x2

[Verse 2]
C G/B Am
18, you fall in love
Dm C G/B
You think you found the one
C G/B Am G F
And he calls you up to say there’s someonе else
C G/B Am
Feels like thе world’s in flames
Dm C G/B
You give yourself the blame
C G/B Am G F
‘Cause the landing wasn’t worth how hard you fell

[Pre-Chorus]
F Em
I’ll see you in the mirror when you’re older
F Gsus4 G
For now just keep your head up on your shoulders

[Chorus]
C G
Life goes too fast
F
Heart breaks in two
C G
Tough times don’t last
Gsus4
Tough people do
Am G F
So wipe those tears from your crying eyes
F C/E Gsus4
‘Cause you only see the light shine in dark times

[Post-Chorus]
C G F C G F
Oh-oh-oh, in dark times
C G F C G F
Oh-oh-oh, in dark times

[Verse 3]
C G/B Am
We’re 27 now
Dm C G/B
Don’t have it figured out
C G/B Am G F
But at least no one can say we haven’t grown
C G/B Am
Scars turn to memories
Dm C G/B
They keep us company
C G/B Am G F G
But it’s nice to know we’re not in this alone

[Chorus]
C G
Life goes too fast
F
Heart breaks in two
C G
Tough times don’t last
Gsus4
Tough people do
Am G F
So wipe those tears from your crying eyes
F C/E Gsus4
‘Cause you only see the light shine in dark times
F C/E G C
You only see the light shine in dark times
