Intro: C#m Bm

C#m                  A
Growing up is giving up
                            E
I'll sleep sideways on the bed in my moms basement 
       A
It's where I feel at home
Bm                  C#m                E
You'll sleep with regret and no heart left in your chest
                 C#m
I don't want to end up like you
      Bm                                A
Your eyes are set on what you'll never have
                     Bm  C#m
There's days I feel like a different person 
       A                         Bm   C#m  E
But I always come back to who I really am 

A                             E
 The American dream is dead, I'm still just a kid
           A                         E
Balancing on the sidewalks of this suburban town
A            E                            C#m 
 Maybe this year I'll be able to stand up on my feet
               Bm
Or maybe I'll fall again
A                      E
 I never want to grow out of this skin
             C#m
That's been dragged through the dirt 
            Bm                     A
That's what made me find happiness 

Interlude: A E5 E5* A E5 E5*

               A                          E5
My thumbs are broken but I'll take these broken thumbs 
 E5*                  A
Over your grip on an empty life
           E5 E5* A E
Your empty life
