Amaj7sus2
Emaj7
[Verse 1]
Thought
Amaj7sus2
I'd be a different
person, but it's
just a different
life
Emaj7
If I got married
tomorrow,
I'd feel like
a teenage wife
Amaj7sus2
I am older at the
parties,
thought that
wouldn't bother me
Emaj7
I can tell who's
turning
thirty versus
being
twenty-three, oh
[Refrain]
Amaj7sus2
Ba-da-da,
ba-da,
ba-da-da
Emaj7
Ba-da, da

[Verse 2]
Amaj7sus2
The girls I knew
at
sixteen
have a friend
group of their
own
Thought I'd
Emaj7
make new
friends
in college but
majority
moved home
Amaj7sus2
My best friend's
in New
York City,
she is
beauty,
she is grace
Emaj7
And I wonder if
we'll ever live
again in the
same
place, oh
[Refrain]
Amaj7sus2
Ba-da-da,
ba-da,
ba-da-da
Emaj7
Ba-da, da
[Chorus]
C#m
Was it better?
I was
Bsus2
younger,
different
Asus2
problems,
E
different names
C#m
Was it perfect?
Was it
Bsus2
simple? Was it
Asus2
more or less the
E
same?
How did it
C#m Bsus2 Asus2
change?
How did I
E
change?
How did it
C#m
change?
Bsus2
Asus2
How did I
E
change?
How did I-

Amaj7sus2
Ba-da-da, ba-da,
ba-da-da
Emaj7
Ba-da, da
[Verse 3]
Amaj7sus2
I insisted that
the faces
of my parents
couldn't change
Emaj7
But I love how
I
look like my
mama
when she was
my age
Thought
Amaj7sus2
the world only
got bigger, I'd
be hanging
at the
park
Emaj7
Throwing balls
at
cement walls
'til the
sky got dark,
oh
[Refrain]
Amaj7sus2
Ba-da-da,
ba-da,
ba-da-da
Emaj7
Ba-da, da
[Bridge]
Amaj7sus2
Crying at the
supermarket,
crying
at the DMV
Emaj7
Crying at the
doctors office,
Amaj7sus2
crying independently
Amaj7sus2
Growing pains are
only growing,
it's a new reality
Emaj7
Everything feels
more
nostalgic in a
partial memory,
oh
[Refrain]
Amaj7sus2
Ba-da-da,
ba-da,
ba-da-da
Emaj7
Ba-da, da
