[Verse 1]
D
Do you wanna be
G
Like your father?
D
The older you get
G
Your head’s gettin’ hotter
D
Pick up the phone
G
When he calls you
D
You know he’s alone
G
He’s preaching ‘cause he loves you
D
Where have you been?
G
Jack’s been waiting
D
In your room every night
G
Why don’t you stay home tonight?

[Chorus]
D G
Could you waste your life
Em G
If you painted mine?
D G
Now the day has died
F#m Em
But it’s too late to close your eyes

D D

[Verse 2]
G G
Ahhh… ahhh…
D
Time keeps telling me to change
G
But I’m fragile and afraid
G G
Ahhh… ahhh…

Bm D Bm D G

[Chorus]
D G
Could you waste your life
Em G
If you painted mine?
D G
Now the day has died
F#m Em
But it’s too late to close your eyes
F#m Em
To close your eyes
F#m Em
Close your eyes

[Bridge]
D
The clock it ticks
G
I have to get older
D
When I wake up
A
And the dream is over
D
Packed away
G
My life moving slower
D A G
Oh I’d hate to get any older
D A G
Oh I’d hate to get any older

D
Do you wanna be
(The clock it ticks, I have to get older)
G
Like your father?
D
The older you get
(When I wake up and the dream is over)
G
Your head’s gettin’ hotter
D
Pick up the phone
(Packed away, my life moving slower)
G
When he calls you
D A G
Oh I’d hate to get any older
D A G
Oh I’d hate to get any older

D G Em G
D G Em G

[Outro]
D G
I always knew I’d let you go
Em G
Have to see you die to grow
D G
Don’t you let them tell you who you are
Em G
Hope that as you keep collecting scars
D A Em G
You never know my pain

D G Em G
