Intro: C Am F G Em Am

C
Today I'm gonna write a sad song
          Am
Gonna make it very long
      F      G
So that everyone can see
      Em       Am
That I'm very unhappy

C
Wish I wasn't always wrong
                Am
Wish it wasn't always my fault
  F             G
The finger that you're pointing
  Em         Am
Has knocked me on my knees
  D
And all you need to know is
G
I'm so sorry
       Em
It's not like me
     Am
It's maturity
  D
That I'm lacking

 G
So don't
        Em
Don't let me go
         Am
Just let me know
  D          G
That growing up goes slow

C
I wonder what my mom and dad would say
                    Am
If I told that I cry each day
     F        G       Em    Am
It's hard enough to live so far away

C
I wish I wasn't always so cold
                  Am
I wish I wasn't always alone
     F      G
But the party is over
Em          Am
How will I get home?
  D
And all you need is
G
I'm so sorry
       Em
It's not like me
     Am
It's maturity
  D
That I'm lacking

 G
So don't
        Em
Don't let me go
         Am
Just let me know
  D          G
That growing up goes slow

E                     Am
If all the rules were meant to bend
               D
And you swore you were my friend
               G    Em
Now I have to start all over again

E                    Am
Cause no one's going to take your place
                D
And I'm scared we'll never save
               G     Am     D
All the pieces of the love we made

       G
And I'm so sorry
       Em
It's not like me
     Am
It's maturity
  D
That I'm lacking

 G
So don't
        Em
Don't let me go
         Am
Just let me know
  D            G
That I can slip and fall
           Em
And you won't let me go
         Am
Just let me know
  D          G
That growing up goes slow

       G
And I'm so sorry
       Em
It's not like me
     Am
It's maturity
  D
That I'm lacking

 G
So don't
        Em
Don't let me go
         Am
Just let me know
  D          G
That growing up goes slow
