E Today I'm gonna write a sad song C#m Gonna make it really long A B So that everyone can see G#m C#m That I'm very unhappy E I wish I wasn't always wrong C#m I wish it wasn't always my fault A B The finger that you're pointing G#m C#m Has knocked me on my knees F#7 And all you need to know is Chorus: B I'm so sorry G#m It's not like me C#m It's maturity F#7 That I'm lacking B So don't G#m Don't let me go C#m Just let me know F#7 B That growing up goes slow I wonder what my mom and dad would say If I told them that I cry each day And it’s hard enough to live so far away I wish I wasn’t always cold I wish I wasn’t always alone When the party is over, how will I get home? And all you need to know is... Chorus G# C#m If all the rules are meant to bend F#7 And you swore you were my friend B C#m Now I have to start all over again G# C#m Cause no one's going to take your place F#7 And I'm scared I'll never save B C#m F#7 All the pieces of the love we made Chorus: "I’m so sorry” It’s not like me It’s maturity that I’m lacking So don’t, don't let me go Just let me know That I can slip and fall and you won't let me go Just let me know That growing up goes slow And "I’m so sorry" It’s not like me It’s maturity that I'm lacking So don't, don't let me go Just let me know That growing up goes slow You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA C#m E F#7 G# G#m B Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
