Verse 1:
Cm                        Gm
I?ve been spending so much time
Ab                 Eb
Growing scared and weak
Cm            Gm              Ab
All the days were falling behind me
Cm                          Gm
Round and round and up and down
      Ab            Eb
My damn head is spinning
Cm              Gm           Ab
This is if someone else is steering

Cm                     Eb
I have wasted so much time
Cm                         Eb
Holding back jus to stay in line
  Cm            Gm          Ab
I?ve been walking down the ladder

Chorus:
                     Eb
Remember when you?re young
                 Cm
Remember how much fun
               Gm            Ab
Remember we?re not so damn crazy
           Fm              Bb
And nothing ever frightened me
   Eb               Cm                   Gm      Ab
I?ve been getting sadder with each step of the ladder

Verse 2:
Cm                   Gm
Yesterday will feed tomorrow
 Ab                Eb
So today must brighten
 Cm       Gm           Ab
How I wish it was that easy
Cm                        Gm
Justify how you growing stronger
 Ab                          Eb
Sacrificing everything you wanted
 Cm            Gm               Ab   
Just because you stopped believing
Cm                   Eb
Somehow I misplaced it all
       Cm                Eb      
With being so insecure cause
 Cm             Gm           Ab
I?ve been walking down the ladder

Chorus:
                      Eb
Remember when you?re young
                 Cm
Remember how much fun
                   Gm         Ab
Remember we?re not so damn crazy
           Fm              Bb
And nothing ever frightened me
   Eb             Cm                   Gm          Ab
I?ve been getting sadder with each step of the ladder

Bridge:
Gm           Cm
Gee, I?m happy
 Gm                        Cm	        Gm
Dancing on the most of things that scared me
           Cm                   Gm     Ab
Putting my hands into these pockets I find
  Gm        Cm
Gee, I?m willing
  Gm                     Cm
To pass away this guilty feeling
             Cm              Gm	       Ab
Putting my footstep in this time of my life
