Growing Pains

	  		
Intro:  B  D#m  B  D#m 


Verse 
B  
No one will tell you about the limit 
D#m 
They put on how long you can grieve 
G#m 
No one will warn you when you're winning 
E 
How heavy a loss love can be 

B 
They do not tell you about the friendships 
D#m 
You'll lose once the lights are dimmed down 
G#m 
How humble you'll feel about your past bliss 
E 
Once the tables are turned around 


Pre-Chorus 
E          F#            G#m 
But I wanna tell you I got through 
E          F#           G#m 
The hardest of times on my own 
E          F#          G#m 
I made some mistakes, I made a few 
E             F# 
But I've learned that I am strong 
And 


 
F# 
Just because it hurts 
                      B        G#m 
Doesn't mean it isn't worth it 
               F# 
And even if it stings 
                B        E 
It's just a temporary thing 
                    F# 
I'm not saying that changing 
                  G#m           F# 
Won't cost you love, won't make you cry, 
                  C#m 
But it will all make sense... 
                               B       D#m 
When the growing pains subside 



Verse 
B 
Nothing can shield you from the silence 
D#m 
Nights spent on his side of the bed 
G#m 
Praying for help to please stop crying 
E 
My life just got turned on its head 

B 
They fail to explain how complex love is... 
D#m 
Like why I mostly miss him as a friend 
G#m 
Or how big of a blow, it was for my ego 
E 
That she might be better for him... 


Pre-Chorus  
E          F#            G#m 
But I wanna tell you I got through 
E          F#           G#m 
The hardest of times on my own 
E          F#          G#m 
I made some mistakes, I made a few 
E             F# 
But I've learned that I am strong 
And 


F# 
Just because it hurts 
                      B        G#m 
Doesn't mean it isn't worth it 
               F# 
And even if it stings 
                B        E 
It's just a temporary thing 
                    F# 
I'm not saying that changing 
                  G#m           F# 
Won't cost you love, won't make you cry, 
                  C#m 
But it will all make sense...
