Capo: 4th fret
[Intro]
C Em D
[Verse 1]
C Em D
Threw a mattress on the floor and made a home out of a dorm room
C Em D
She got a credit card in her name to buy what she couldn’t afford to
C Em
And now she’s eighteen, she can barely eat and barely drive
D
Mind racing, what’s the meanin’ of being alive?
C Em D
I don’t blame her for not doing anything she was supposed to
[Chorus]
C
So much for the young and free
Em D
I know that you feel confused
C
I’m sorry that it hurt so much
Em D
Growing up is hard to do
C
You’ll always be a part of me
Em D
Swear I’ll take better care of you
C
I’m sorry that it hurt so much
Em D
Growing up is hard to do, hard to do
[Interlude]
C Em D
[Verse 2]
C Em
Rubbing drugs into your gums to prove to your friends
D
That you’re a good time, ‘til you’re crying in the stairwell
C Em
Holding your hair back, wishing you had kept your body to youself
D
Can’t forget the way it felt
[Chorus]
C
So much for the young and free
Em D
I know that you feel confused
C
I’m sorry that it hurt so much
Em D
Growing up is hard to do
C
You’ll always be a part of me
Em D
Swear I’ll take better care of you
C
I’m sorry that it hurt so much
Em D
Growing up is hard to do, hard to do
[Interlude]
C Em D
[Bridge]
D
You drank yourself dizzy
C
Held in all your secrets
Em
Took off running naked with a handle in your arms
D
Woke up in a fever
C
Sweating out your bad decisions
Em
Couldn’t even see straight but you still got in the car
D
Tried to be a cool girl
C
You know the way that boys are
Em
You just want to talk, but it’s your body that he counts
D
It’s snowing up in Amherst
C
You don’t feel a damn thing
Em D C Em D
Everything’s a mess when you got nothing figured out
[Outro]
C
You’ll always be a part of me
Em D
Swear I’ll take better care of you
C
I’m sorry that it hurt so much
Em D C
Growing up is hard
