[Verse 1]
C    G/B   Am
13 is hard enough
Dm C    G/B
So busy growing up
 C                 G/B  Am     G      F
Now you’re sitting on a 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         Am     G        F
‘Cause you’re both afraid that people might suppose
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
     F                                 Em
I’ll see you in the mirror when you’re older
    F                                  Gsus4      G
For now just keep your 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         F
So wipe those tears from your crying eyes
           F            C/E   Gsus4
‘Cause you only see the light shine in dark times
 
 
[Instrumental]
C G F  x2
 
 
[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          G       F
And he calls you up to say 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        G       F
‘Cause the landing wasn’t worth how hard you fell
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
     F                                 Em
I’ll see you in the mirror when you’re older
    F                                  Gsus4      G
For now just keep your 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         F
So wipe those tears from your crying eyes
           F            C/E   Gsus4
‘Cause you only see the light 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     G       F
But at least no one can say we haven’t grown
C     G/B     Am
Scars turn to memories
Dm   C       G/B
They keep us company
         C       G/B        Am     G    F      G
But it’s nice to know 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           E/G#
Tough people do
Am                  G         F
So wipe those tears from your crying eyes
           F            C/E   Gsus4
‘Cause you only see the light shine
    F            C/E   G                  C
You only see the light shine in dark times
