[Verse 1]
[G]I used to shu[C]t my doo[Em]r
while my mother [D]screamed in the kitchen
[G]I'd turn the mus[C]ic up,[Em]
get high and [D]try not to listen

[Pre-chorus 1]
To [G]every little [C]fight,
'cause [Em]neither one was [D]right
I [G]swore I'd never be like [C]them
But [Em]I was just a kid back th[D]en

[Chorus 1]
The older I [C]get the more that I [D]see
My parents aren't [G]heroes,
they're just like [Em]me
And loving is [C]hard, it don't always [D]work
You just try your [G]best not to get [Em]hurt
I used to be [C]mad but now I [D]know
Sometimes it's [G]better to let someone [Em]go
It just hadn't [C]hit me yet

[Verse 2]
The older I
[G](get) I used to [C]wonder [Em]why,
why they could [D]never be happy
[G]I used to clo[C]se my eye[Em]s
and pray for a [D]whole 'nother family

[Pre-chorus 2]
Where [G]everything was [C]fine,
[Em]one that felt like m[D]ine
I [G]swore I'd never be like [C]them
But [Em]I was just a kid back th[D]en

[Chorus 2]
The older I [C]get the more that I [D]see
My parents aren't [G]heroes,
they're just like [Em]me
And loving is [C]hard, it don't always [D]work
You just try your [G]best not to get [Em]hurt
I used to be [C]mad but now I [D]know
Sometimes it's [G]better to let someone [Em]go
It just hadn't [C]hit me yet

You just try your [G]best not to get [Em]hurt
I used to be [C]mad but now I [D]know
Sometimes it's [G]better to let someone [Em]go
It just hadn't [C]hit me yet
