             G 
Thought when I grew up 
        Am                 Em                       D 
I would be the same as the ones who gave me my last name 
        G                    Am 
I would not give in, I would not partake 
       Em                           D 
In the same old drugs everyone else takes
[Pre-Refrain]
    C                     Em 
I'm better than that, I'm better than that 
    D                                                     G 
I'm living my life so I go to heaven and never come back 
    C                                 Em 
But look where I'm at, look where I'm at 
    D                                         N.C. 
I'm living the life that I said I wouldn't, I wanna go back
[Refrain]
Em                  C                G 
  I used to call my mom every Sunday 
                            D 
So she knew her love wasn't far away 
Em                       C            G 
  But now I'm all fucked up out in LA 
                        D 
'Cause I care more about what other people say 
Em                   C                        G 
  I used to not take chances with God's name 
                 D 
But it's been so long since I last prayed 
Em                       C                          G 
  And now I'm all fucked up and my heart's changed 
                        D 
'Cause I care more about what other people say 
G     Am    Em    G     Am    Em    G     B     Em 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

       G                   Am 
I wish I could shelter the boy I knew 
         Em                        D 
From the constant hell I'd put him through 
           G                    Am 
'Cause I'm all grown up and I'm black and blue 
        Em                              D 
I could use some tape, I could use some glue
[Pre-Refrain]
    C                     Em 
I'm better than that, I'm better than that 
            D 
I should be living my life so I go to heaven and never come back
