Verse 1:
[A] I used to [D] shut my [F#m] door while my mother [E] screamed in the kitchen
[A] I'd turn [D] the music [F#m] up, get high and [E] try not to listen
[A] To every little [D] fight, 'cause [F#m] neither one was [E] right
Pre-Chorus:
[A] I swore I'd never be like [D] them
But [F#m] I was just a kid back [E] then
Chorus:
The older I [D] get the more that I [E] see
My parents aren't [A] heroes, they're just like [F#m] me
And loving is [D] hard, it don't always [E] work
You just try your [A] best not to get [F#m] hurt
I used to be [D] mad but now I [E] know
Sometimes it's [A] better to let [F#m] someone go
It just hadn't [D] hit me yet
The older I [A] get
Verse 2:
I used to [D] wonder [F#m] why, why they could [E] never be happy
[A] I used to [D] close my [F#m] eyes and pray for a [E] whole 'nother family
Where [A] everything was [D] fine, [F#m] one that felt like [E] mine
(Pre-Chorus)
