VERSE1
C5 G5 A5 G5
Coming of age ain't about what you do
C5 G5 A5
It's giving in to what's predefined
C5 G5 A5 G5
When you trade all your dreams for compromise
C5 G5 A5
It is never what you have in mind
INTERLUDE
C5 G5 A5
VERSE2
C5 G5 A5 G5
One shot of happy, two shots of sad
C5 G5 A5
That's how our lives are aligned
C5 G5 A5 G5
The path that you chose has got highs, it's got lows
F5 G5 C...
But it's never what you have in mind
CHORUS
...G5 A5 G5 C5 G5 F5 C5
I must say that I still wonder why it disappears
G5 A5 G5 C5 G5 F5 A5
Must say that I still wonder why the years keep tumbling by

VERSE3
C5 G5 A5 G5
Coming of age ain't about who you meet
C5 G5 A5
It's 'bout the people who leave you behind
C5 G5 A5 G5
Your brothers, your parents, your lovers, your friends
C5 G5 A5
It is never what you have in mind
VERSE4
C5 G5 A5 G5
One shot of happy, two shots of sad
C5 G5 A5
We know we might run out of time
C5 G5 A5 G5
But when it comes to living, dying's the easy part
F5 G5 C...
Not exactly what you had in mind
CHORUS
...G5 A5 G5 C5 G5 F5 C5
I really doubt that I'll find out why it disappears
G5 A5 G5 C5 G5 F5 A5
I really doubt that I'll find out what these years are all about

VERSE5
C5 G5 A5 G5
You might ask if these thoughts that I just summed up
C5 G5 A5
Are of any importance to you
C5 G5 A5 G5
Maybe not, but when things don't turn out like you planned
C5 G5 A5
It helps to know that they never do
OUTRO
C5 G5 A5 G5
Besides, if each shot of happy comes with only two shots of sad
F5 G5 A5
Then coming of age is not so bad
F5 G5 A5
Then coming of age is not so bad
F5 G5 C5 G5 A5 G5 F5 G5 A5
Then coming of age is not so bad.
