C#mF#mBG#m
You would think that I could find a simple song, a photograph of mine
AAmF#mG#m
To show this public eye, what I have to offer
C#mF#mBG#m
I may not have a PHD, or speak in eloquent philosophy!
AAmG#mF#m
I'm nothing more than simply me you see!

AAmEG#m-F#m
What I am trying to say
C#mG#mAAm
I'm just a babe in so many ways!
Chorus:
E
I'm still growing, still stretchin'
AAm
Still breaking in these new shoes
EAAm
Looking for a way to make a mark of my own
E
I'm just a spring chick, wet behind the ears
AAm
It's a part of life so there's no need to fear
G#mC#mF#mE
These growing pains that I'm going through
------
C#mF#mBG#m
I don't regret, I'm not ashamed that I haven't yet begun to speaketh ways...
AAm
(As the wisest of men), oh perhaps some day
F#mG#m
But for now I'm grateful
C#mF#mBG#m
to be a part of the family tree, while The Man upstairs does His work on me
AmAmG#mF#m
It's a job that may take eternity to complete

AmAmEG#m-F#m
Just when I've learned all I can,
C#mG#mAAm
those growing pains up and kick on in again!
ChorusBridge:
BBmF#mC#m
Time after time, one more time and again, will it ever end?
F#mBA
It's the lessons in our lives that make us wise
AAmEG#m-F#m
But young or old I am told it's the same Oh,
C#mG#mAAm-Hold
these growing pains never go away, so I'll just keep on trying...
