A           Bm
If somebody told me
           F#m
I'd die at forty
                D                 A
I wouldn't have spent my time in bed
           Bm
Writing my dumb songs

And my growing-up songs

I should've just grown up instead

Are no longer interns
              D               A
How long have I been out of town
                   Bm
'Cause sometimes I wonder
         F#m
If I had kissed her
               D
How different life would be right now
 
[Pre-chorus]
  Bm           F#m
I smile when I cry
   A           D
To hide what I felt
    Bm    F#m
I'm doing fine
A             D
Speak for yourself
Bm                 D            A
I should have just asked for help
 
E

If you got friends, don't let them leave
                Bm
I turned twenty-something
               F#m
It didn't mean nothing
                  D                  A
'Cause not one of them were there to see

A                Bm                      F#m
And go tell your grandson to go tell his grandson
                  D                A
You don't have to try so hard, you know
                  Bm
'Cause I spent my whole life
         F#m
Tryna be so liked
          Bm               D
That only made 'em hate me more
 
[Pre-Chorus]
    Bm         F#m
Did I make you proud?
    A            D
Did I screw this up?
     Bm      F#m
Sing with me loud
     A             D
It's all that I've got
Bm             D      A
To know if I did or not
 
E

He-y, I'd hate to have to die 'fore I get my head together

Together, together, whatever

I wish I was me

Whoever that is
G#
I could just be
               C#m
And not give a shit
                                  A
Hey, I'll be whatever makes you a fan
                    Am             E
'Cause I don't know who the hell I am
 
[Verse 6]
E
I think it's too late
               G#
To figure this out
G#
If I could be me
                       C#m
I would have been it by now
C#m
Maybe I'm a stone
             A
Or big as my house
                  Am              E
It looks like our time is running out
 
[Verse 7]
E
So, if this is me
                G#
Then I'll do my best
G#
I'll take all the shit
             C#m
So you never have to
C#m
You can be you
                A
And I'll be the rest
                   Am             E
Yeah, maybe that's who the hell I am

Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
A                Am                        E
Don't take forever, you're not here for long
E       C#m  G#m       A
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
A             Am                           E
You gotta get better, you're all that I've got
E       C#m  G#m       A

I gotta get better, I'm all that I've got
E           C#m  G#m          A
Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm
A                Am                 E
For two or three minutes, then I'm gone

I'm pretty sure the actual song goes "just know" instead of "young child", great transcription otherwise though!

for some reason, the last song of every ajr album is my favorite (besides the click). I feel like it just wraps up the "story" of the album so nicely
