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
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
