intro : G Cadd9 x 4

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 x 4

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 x 4

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 x 26
