On B7*, just play a variation of  B7by moving your pinky up one fret on the b string.
EThis spirit is holding us Ab7down
DbmWe shit our shoulders are in Adeep
EPulling us to the Ab7light
DbmToasted our backs in the Asun
GbmAnd I waited for the next Dbmcall
GbmWe got all out ears Bpressed against the Ewall
EBut now our days are set Ab7straight
DbmWe're seeing it all eye to Aeye
EThe balance is still chasing Ab7after
DbmJust hanging on as you walk Aby
B7*                  B7                E  
And they say it's only natural
B7*                            B7  E  
They say we're coming along just fine
                                      Dbm       Gbm(B)      
But I can't help thinking we grew up too fast    (Woah)
DbmAnd I know, I know, I know this won't Gbmlast
A second Blonger than it Ehas
EChilAbdren you Awill, Ebe careAbd for at Aonce
EAnd wanAbted our Aarms Elike promAbises Aplucked from Eabove
 E   Ab7   Dbm   A(x2)
EThis world is only getting Ab7smaller
DbmThe choices aren't ours to be Amade
EAnd I to my Ab7days
DbmI feel like wasting my Adays
GbmAnd I can't see what's coming Eon
B7*                          B7  E  
And I can't say it will all be fine
                                     Dbm       Gbm(B) 
No I can't help thinking we grew up too fast    (Woah)
                                     Dbm       Gbm(B)
No I can't help thinking we grew up too fast    (Woah)
DbmAnd I know, I know, I know this won't Gbmlast
A second Blonger than it Ehas
