INTRO:
G, Bm, F, C x2

VERSE 1:
G            Bm
Now and then I pace my place
F                          C
I can't retrace how I got here
G                 Bm
I cheat the light to check my face
F                               C
It's slightly harder than last year

CHORUS:
Em          G            C
And all at once it gets hard to take
Em       G                  C
It gets hard to fake what I won't be
Em                  G            C
Cause one of these days I'll be born and raised
     Em         G                  C
And it's such a waste to grow up lonely

Em, G, C 
HARMONICA SOLO: G, Bm, F, C

Verse 2:
G                    Bm
I still have dreams, they're not the same
F                                   C
They don't fly as high as they used to
G                Bm
I saw my friend, he's in my head
F                                        C
And he said, "You don't remember me, do you?"

CHORUS:
Em               G                C
Then all at once it gets hard to take
Em               G                C
It gets hard to fake what I won't be
Em                   G          C
Cause one of these days I'll be born and raised
Em               G                C       G
And it's such a waste to grow up lonely

C, Csus2, Am7 x3
Bm C

Verse 3:
G                 Bm
I still got time, I still got faith
F                        C
I call on both of my brothers
G            Bm
I got a mom, I got a dad
F                         C
But they do not have each other

CHORUS:
Em             G              C
So line on up, and take your place
Em             G             C
And show your face to the morning
Em                   G             C
Cause one of these days you'll be born and raised
Em              G               C
And it all comes on without warning 

OUTRO:
Em, G, C x3
