D
I told 'em all where to stick it
I left town with a dime to my name
        G
Said I'm done with all of my fake friends
Self-righteous pawns in a losing game
      D
Got my band and a light that won't go out
Been burning since the day I was born
     G
So I cry just little then I'll dry my eyes
  Em
'Cause I'm not a little girl no more

CHORUS:
D                                   Bm
Some of us have to grow up sometimes
       G                       Em
And so, if I have to, I'm gonna leave you behind
D                                   Bm
Some of us have to grow up sometimes
        G                             D
And so, if I have to, I'm gonna leave you behind


D
Stood in line for so long, it's a picket
Something I will never understand
   G
I'm too tired of always being mad at the world
           Em
Won't you just admit you don't care
     D
Lady I don't want your pity
So don't feel sad for me
         G
I got a love I would die for and a song to sing
        Em
Maybe we're both just living out our dreams

CHORUS:
D                                   Bm
Some of us have to grow up sometimes
       G                       Em
And so, if I have to, I'm gonna leave you behind
D                                   Bm
Some of us have to grow up sometimes
        G                             D
And so, if I have to, I'm gonna leave you behind


Bridge:
         G
We get along for the most part
           Em                      Bm
Me and reality, the light and the dark
              G
And we live alone
In two different worlds
           Em
Me and a fantasy,
                   Bm
And you and your memories

             G
But we get along
We get along
         Em
For the most part
         Bm
We get along
              G
Yea, for the most part
We get along
         Em
For the most part
         Bm
We get along
G
We get along
Em
We get along
