Capo 5th fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Verse1
Coming of age ain't about what you do
It's giving in to what's predefined
When you trade all your dreams for compromise
It is never what you have in mind
Interlude
Verse2
One shot of happy, two shots of sad
That's how our lives are aligned
The path that you chose has got highs, it's got lows
But it's never what you have in mind
Chorus
I must say that I still wonder why it disappears
Must say that I still wonder why the years keep tumbling by
Interlude
Verse3
Coming of age ain't about who you meet
It's 'bout the people who leave you behind
Your brothers, your parents, your lovers, your friends
It is never what you have in mind
Verse4
One shot of happy, two shots of sad
We know we might run out of time
But when it comes to living, dying's the easy part
Not exactly what you had in mind
Chorus
I really doubt that I'll find out why it disappears
I really doubt that I'll find out what these years are all about
INTERLUDE/SOLO
Verse5
You might ask if these thoughts that I just summed up
Are of any importance to you
Maybe not, but when things don't turn out like you planned
It helps to know that they never do
Outro
Besides, if each shot of happy comes with only two shots of sad
Then coming of age is not so bad
Then coming of age is not so bad
Then coming of age is not so bad.
