Intro: 
C  G  Am  G  C  G  Am  Am 
C  G  Am  G  F  G  C   C

C         G          Am            G
Coming of age ain’t about what you do
            C     G           Am    
It’s giving in to what’s predefined
         C              G      Am        G
When you trade all your dreams for compromise
      C          G           Am
It is never what you have in mind

C  G  Am

C           G      Am           G
One shot of happy, two shots of sad
C              G          Am
That’s how our lives are aligned
    C             G             Am            G
The path that you chose has got highs has got lows
         F          G           C
But it’s never what you have in mind

C      G        Am      G      C      F    C
I must say that I still wonder why it disappears
     G        Am    G        C
Must say that I still wonder why
    F          G        Am
The years keep tumbling by

C  G  Am  G  C  G  Am Am

C         G          Am           G
Coming of age ain’t about who you meet
               C          G           Am
It’s about the people who leave you behind
     C              G             Am           G
Your brothers, your parents, your lovers, your friends
      C          G           Am
It is never what you have in mind

C           G      Am           G
One shot of happy, two shots of sad
   C             G          Am
We know we might run out of time
         C           G                Am       G
But when it comes to living, dying is the easy part
     F           G          C
Not exactly what you had in mind

C G      Am         G         C   F          C
I really doubt that I’ll find out why it disappears
  G      Am         G         C
I really doubt that I’ll find out
           F         G    Am
What these years are all about

C  G  Am  G  C  G  Am Am
C  G  Am  G  C  G  Am Am

          C            G             Am            G
You might ask if these thoughts that I just summed up
       C      G          Am
Are of any importance to you
      C            G                 Am           G
Maybe not but when things don’t turn out like you planned
   C                  G          Am
It helps to know that they never do
         C               G
Besides, if each shot of happy
                Am           G
Comes with only two shots of sad
     F         G             Am
Then coming of age is not so bad
     F         G             Am
Then coming of age is not so bad
     F         G             C  G  Am  G  F  G  C
Then coming of age is not so bad
