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.
