Growing Pains (acoustic)

	  		Intro: G | E | C  


G  
I'll say goodnight, 
                                   E 
In the morning I will wake up to a blinding light, 
    C 
And curse all my mistakes 
            G 
And say I'm not what you think, 
      
I'll break all the links, 
     E                  C 
I'll ignore all the exit signs 


      G 
Cause you've had your own mountains to climb 
    E                C 
And I've got skeletons I hide, 
       G 
In the back of my mind where I question myself, 
  E                          C 
I dwell on the past just like everyone else 

  
      E                     C              E  
Don't bear the weight of the world on your shoulders, 
     C 
It's not too heavy 
E                     C                E                  C 
I'll break my back so you can feel like someone's on your side 


   G 
Forget the past and all the heartache, 
    E 
The growing pains that keep you awake, 
G 
I'll sing you to sleep 
                C 
With songs that let you know that we'll be ok 
G 
Round and round and round this goes, 
E 
Playing on your stereos, 
     G 
When I'm away and you can't sleep, 
     C 
Just know that it's the same for me 


Interlude: G | E | C  x2 


    G                                     E                               
And every time I see you I remember why I made you mine 
  C 
That day in mid-December, 
         G 
Still so young and naïve with our hearts on our sleeves, 
    E               C 
But I know we'll be alright 


           G                                      
They don't know what we share in the briefest of moments, 
    E                 C 
I'm head over heels for the smallest components, 
     G 
That light in your eye or that look on your face, 
   E                 C 
Secure in the fact that we both know our place 


G 
No one like you girl, 
                     
No one in the world 
E                 C 
The perfect touch to the picture I had in my head 
G 
No one like you girl, 

Nowhere in the world 
E                   C 
That I would rather be 


      E                  C                 E     
Don't bear the weight of the world on your shoulders, 
     C 
It's not too heavy 
E               C                        E                  C 
Since we met it seems like we've crossed paths at the right time 


   G 
Forget the past and all the heartache, 
    E 
The growing pains that keep you awake, 
G 
I'll sing you to sleep 
                C 
With songs that let you know that we'll be ok 
G 
Round and round and round this goes, 
E 
Playing on your stereos, 
     G 
When I'm away and you can't sleep, 
     C 
Just know that it's the same for me
