Verse:
G              Am                Em
  If somebody told me Iʼd die at 40
                  C               G
I wouldnʼt have spent my time in bed
            Am                    Em
Writinʼ my dumb songs, my growinʼ up songs
            C                G
I shoulda just grown up instead

Young child

  Now all of the interns are no longer interns

How long have I been out of town?
                    Am              Em
ʼCause sometimes I wonder if I had kissed her

How different life would be right now

Pre-chorus:
   Am          Em       D          C
I smile when I cry to hide what I felt
C       Am    Em      D            C
  "Iʼm doinʼ fine", speak for yourself
    Am          C             G  D
I shoulda just asked for help...

I turned 20-somethinʼ; it didnʼt mean nothing

Verse:
D                           F#
  I wish I was me, whoever that is
                                Bm
I could just be and not give a ***
                                   G
Hey, Iʼll be whatever makes you a fan
                     Gm            A
ʼCause I donʼt know who the hell I am

                                     F#
I think itʼs too late to figure this out
                                        Bm
If I could be me, I wouldʼve been it by now
                                  G
Maybe Iʼm a stone, or big as my house
                   Gm              A
It looks like our time is runninʼ out

                                   F#
So if this is me, then Iʼll Do my best
                                         Bm
Iʼll take all the ***, so youʼll never have to
                                  G
You can be you, and Iʼll be the rest
                 Gm              D
And maybe thatʼs who the hell I am
