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.
