Chelsea Cutler - Growing Up Is Hard: chords

E                                         G#m
Threw a mattress on the floor and made a home
          F#
out of a dorm room
            E                                  G#m
She got a credit card in her name to buy what she
           F#
couldn't afford to
               E
And now she's eighteen, she can barely eat and
G#m
barely  drive
F#
Mind racing, what's the meanin' of being alive?
E                                        G#m
I don't blame her for not doing anything she
        F#
was supposed to

Chorus:
                  E
So much for the young and free
G#m              F#
I know that you feel confused
                   E
I'm sorry that it hurt so much
 G#m           F#
Growing up is hard to do
                    E
You'll always be a part of me
G#m                     F#
Swear I'll take better care of you
                   E
I'm sorry that it hurt so much
  G#m          F#                  E
Growing up is hard to do, hard to do

Rubbing drugs into your gums to prove to
your friends
That you're a good time, 'til you're
crying in the stairwell
Holding your hair back, wishing you had
kept your body to yourself
Can't forget the way it felt

Chorus:
So much for the young and free
I know that you feel confused
I'm sorry that it hurt so much
Growing up is hard to do
You'll always be a part of me
Swear I'll take better care of you
I'm sorry that it hurt so much
Growing up is hard to do, hard to do

                    F#
You drank yourself dizzy
                  E
Held in all your secrets
                                             G#m
Took off running naked with a handle in your arms
              F#
Woke up in a fever
                         E
Sweating out your bad decisions

Couldn't even see straight but you still got
       G#m
in the car
              F#
Tried to be a cool girl
                       E
You know the way that boys are

You just want to talk, but it's
                   G#m
your body that he counts
                    F#
It's snowing up in Amherst
                  E
You don't feel a damn thing

Everything's a mess when you got nothing figured
G#m F# E G#m F#
out

You'll always be a part of me
Swear I'll take better care of you
I'm sorry that it hurt so much
Growing up is hard
