[Verse 1]
C G/B Am
13 is hard enough
Dm C G/B
So busy growing up
C G/B
Now you’re sitting on a
Am G F
secret no one knows
C G/B Am
You see him after school
Dm C G/B
He barely looks at you
C G/B
‘Cause you’re both afraid that
Am G F
people might suppose
[Pre-Chorus]
F
I’ll see you in the mirror
Em
when you’re older
F
For now just keep your
Gsus4 G
head up on your shoulders
[Chorus]
C G
Life goes too fast
F
Heart breaks in two
C G
Tough times don’t last
Gsus4
Tough people do
Am
So wipe those tears
G F
from your crying eyes
F
‘Cause you only see the
C/E Gsus4
light shine in dark times
[Instrumental]
C G F
C G F
[Verse 2]
C G/B Am
18, you fall in love
Dm C G/B
You think you found the one
C G/B Am
And he calls you up to say
G F
there’s someonе else
C G/B Am
Feels like thе world’s in flames
Dm C G/B
You give yourself the blame
C G/B Am
‘Cause the landing wasn’t worth
G F
how hard you fell
[Pre-Chorus]
F
I’ll see you in the mirror
Em
when you’re older
F
For now just keep your
Gsus4 G
head up on your shoulders
[Chorus]
C G
Life goes too fast
F
Heart breaks in two
C G
Tough times don’t last
Gsus4
Tough people do
Am G
So wipe those tears from
F
your crying eyes
F C/E
‘Cause you only see the light
Gsus4
shine in dark times
[Post-Chorus]
C G F C G F
Oh-oh-oh, in dark times
C G F C G F
Oh-oh-oh, in dark times
[Verse 3]
C G/B Am
We’re 27 now
Dm C G/B
Don’t have it figured out
C G/B Am
But at least no one can say
G F
we haven’t grown
C G/B Am
Scars turn to memories
Dm C G/B
They keep us company
C G/B
But it’s nice to know
Am G F G
we’re not in this alone
[Chorus]
C G
Life goes too fast
F
Heart breaks in two
C G
Tough times don’t last
Gsus4
Tough people do
Am G
So wipe those tears from
F
your crying eyes
F
‘Cause you only see the
C/E Gsus4
light shine in dark times
F
You only see the
C/E G G
light shine in dark times
