[Verse 1]
 
G            Bm
Now and then I pace my place
F                       C
I can't retrace how I got here
G                 Bm
I cheat the light to check my face
F                           C
It's slightly harder than last year
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Em          G          C
And all at once it gets hard to take
        Em       G          C
It gets hard to fake what I won't be
Em                 G           C
Cause one of these days I'll be born and raised
     Em         G                C
And it's such a waste to grow up lonely

[Verse 2]
 
G                    Bm
I still have dreams, they're not the same
F                              C
They don't fly as high as they used to
G                Bm
I saw my friend, he's in my head
             F                       C
And he said, "You don't remember me, do you?"
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Em          G            C
Then all at once it gets hard to take
        Em      G           C
It gets hard to fake what I won't be
Em                 G            C
Cause one of these days I'll be born and raised
         Em     G                C       G
And it's such a waste to grow up lonely

[Verse 3]
 
G                 Bm
I still got time, I still got faith
F                        C
I call on both of my brothers
G            Bm
I got a mom, I got a dad
F                         C
But they do not have each other
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Em         G   C
So line on up, and take your place
Em            G           C
And show your face to the morning
Em                 G              C
Cause one of these days you'll be born and raised
      Em         G          C
And it all comes on without warning
