[Verse]
              B
Every time I look at my face
C#m                        A
I feel everything it's the same
growing pains
      E
Cause no one ever truly
           B
knows just who they are
           C#m
And I feel closer knowing
                A
I don’t have to hide my scars
E          B                C#m
I hope you know you’re not alone
         A
Being confused ain't
         E
right or wrong
                 B
You’ll find that you’re
              C#m
your own best friend
And no, that ain’t
         A
a fuckin metaphor

[Chorus 2]

             B
Every time I look at my face
C#m
I can’t help but feel like
     A
I’ve lost my way
      E
Cause no one ever truly
           B
knows just who they are
           C#m
And I feel closer when I
                  A
am laying looking at the stars
E          B                C#m
I hope you know you’re not alone
         A
Being confused ain't
         E
right or wrong
                 B
You’ll find that you’re
              C#m

How to play Grow: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Grow by WILLOW, Avril Lavigne on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Grow by WILLOW, Avril Lavigne is in the key of E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯). The song uses 4 chords: E, B, C#m and A.

The backbone of the song is E – B – C#m – A (I – V – vi – IV in E major), the “four-chord” progression behind countless pop, rock and worship songs. In solfa, that is doh – soh – lah – fah. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes D, A, Bm, G (75% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 50% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
