I had the world on my shoulders

Warm inside but the house was getting colder

Mom upstairs and dad on the sofa
F C
Is this how it's meant to be?
PD-C HORUS:
C Am
Crawling down the path that you paved for me
F C
Lying on the bed that you made for me
C Am
I ain't looking for prayers or sympathy
F C
Just hear me out
CHORUS:
C Am
So we get older
F C
And we get wiser
C Am
But don't try and tell me what to do
F C
'Cause this kid's got problems too
C Am
Maybe you're bolder
F C
A little bit stronger
C Am
And don't try and tell me what to do
F C
'Cause this kid's got problems too
VERSE:

All my friends had said she was a keeper

She's the one for me
C
Finished twelfth grade

And once I graduated

They said "Go get a job, you know one so you can pay rent"
C Am
No nine to five just show me where the stage is
F C
Cause that's the place for me
PD-C HORUS:

Lying on the bed that you made for me
C Am
I ain't looking for prayers or sympathy

So we get older
F C
And we get wiser
