             G
Thought when I grew up
        Am                 Em                        D
I would be the same as the ones who gave me my last name
         G                   Am
I would not give in, I would not partake
        Em                           D
In the same old drugs everyone else takes

     C                     Em
I'm better than that, I'm better than that
     D
I'm living my life so
                                  G
I go to heaven and never come back
     C                                Em
But look where I'm at, look where I'm at
     D
I'm living the life that I said I wouldn't,
I wanna go back

Chorus:
Em                 C              G
I used to call my mom every Sunday
                             D
So she knew her love wasn't far away
Em                         C       G
But now I'm all fucked up out in LA
                     D
'Cause I care more about what other people say
Em                   C                    G
I used to not take chances with God's name
                  D
But it's been so long since I last prayed
Em                     C                        G
And now I'm all fucked up and my heart's changed
                        D
'Cause I care more about what other people say
G     Am    Em    G     Am    Em    G     B     Em
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
C
Cause I care more about what other people say

I wish I could shelter the boy I knew
From the constant hell I'd put him through
'Cause I'm all grown up and I'm black and blue
I could use some tape, I could use some glue

I'm better than that, I'm better than that
I should be livin' my life so
I go to Heaven and never come back

Chorus

Yeah, yeah
'Cause I care more about what other people say

             G
Thought when I grew up
        Am                       Em          C
I would be the same as the ones who gave me my last name

Chorus:
I used to call my mom every Sunday
So she knew her love wasn't far away (Far away)
But now I'm all fucked up out in LA (Out in LA)
'Cause I care more about what other people say
(Oh yeah, what other people say)
I used to not take chances with God's name
But it's been so long since I last prayed
And now I'm all fucked up and my heart's changed
'Cause I care more about what other people say

Yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (No, no, ooh)
Yeah, yeah
'Cause I care more about what other people say
