[Verse 1]
DWell I kind of, quit drinking
When you Bmkind of, Aquit Gsmoking
But I can Dstill, strongly Asmell it on your Gclothes
And you can Bmprobably Atell that I Ghaven't been home
Since last week's Dshows
When I Bmsweated my Aself a Gstorm
And I Dselfishly sunk, Amy soul into the Gfloor
And probably Bmpissed off a Alot of Gpeople
Probably Bmpissed on a Alot of Gpeople's thingsF#m  G  F#m  D  
[Verse 2]
DAnd I really can't stand Aflying, no it's not a Gheight thing, you act surprised
But I just, Bmcan't stand all the Astale converGsations, that I'm destined to start with Dmyself
Or anyone Anext to me who'll Glisten
To me Emcomplain about the weather
Or the F#mway things used to be
None of Gthis will even matter
Just soon there'll be a Astranger in your seat
And I'm Emnot sure how I look
Cause I don't F#mcatch much sleep these days
And I should probably write that Gbook
I swore I'd Awrite at 17
Though I have Emtried a million times
Now I F#mre-write re-write re-write re-rinse Grepeat
AAnd one day I'll grow up to be
AFar from the man that you wanted of me and that's Gall
But I Bmhope that I'm the Afirst to prove you wrongG  
[Verse 3]
Well Dmaybe I should drive Ahome
And visit Gmy birth mother so
She can Bmremind me of how
AI'm a complete fucking Gwreck
GGet some things off my chest, put my patience to the test
GNever asked you for much, just the occasional lunch
Some Emcash every now and then
That I'll give F#mback when I get paid
For all the Gsweaty shows I play
Clear this Adebt that I refuse to pay
The bathroom Emsink's piling up
Ever since F#mmy coming of age
And I should Glearn to learn from all the dumb mistaAkes that I have made
Like, dEmriving when I shouldn't
And loving F#mgirls from inter-state
And living Gwith that guy I should've
Never Atrusted from the day we met
But I Emguess I'll live and lose and learn
F#mNot to do the same again
GI guess I'll live and lose and learn
ANot to do the same again
ANot to do the same again
[Break]
 G   Em   F#m(x2)
[Outro]
AAnd one day I'll grow up to be
AFar from the man that you wanted of me and that's Gall
But I Bmhope that I'm the Afirst to prove you wrongG

F#m

[Verse 1]

Well I kind of, quit drinking

Bm A G

When you kind of, quit smoking

D A G

But I can still, strongly smell it on your clothes

Bm A G

And you can probably tell that I haven't been home

Since last week's shows

Bm A G

When I sweated my self a storm

D A G

And I selfishly sunk, my soul into the floor

Bm A G

And probably pissed off a lot of people

Bm A G F#m G F#m D

Probably pissed on a lot of people's things

[Verse 2]

D A G

And I really can't stand flying, no it's not a height thing, you act surprised

Bm A G D

But I just, can't stand all the stale conversations, that I'm destined to start with myself

A G

Or anyone next to me who'll listen

To me complain about the weather

F#m

Or the way things used to be

None of this will even matter

Just soon there'll be a stranger in your seat

And I'm not sure how I look

F#m

Cause I don't catch much sleep these days

And I should probably write that book

I swore I'd write at 17

Though I have tried a million times

F#m G

Now I re-write re-write re-write re-rinse repeat

And one day I'll grow up to be

But I hope that I'm the first to prove you wrong

[Verse 3]

D A

Well maybe I should drive home

And visit my birth mother so

She can remind me of how

A G

I'm a complete fucking wreck

Get some things off my chest, put my patience to the test

Never asked you for much, just the occasional lunch

Some cash every now and then

F#m

That I'll give back when I get paid

For all the sweaty shows I play

Clear this debt that I refuse to pay

The bathroom sink's piling up

F#m

Ever since my coming of age

G A

And I should learn to learn from all the dumb mistakes that I have made

Like, driving when I shouldn't

F#m

And loving girls from inter-state

And living with that guy I should've

Never trusted from the day we met

But I guess I'll live and lose and learn

F#m

Not to do the same again

I guess I'll live and lose and learn

Not to do the same again

[Break]

G Em F#m

(x2)

[Outro]

And one day I'll grow up to be

A G

Far from the man that you wanted of me and that's all
