E
Today I'm gonna write a sad song
                     C#m
Gonna make it really long
        A             B
So that everyone can see
         G#m     C#m
That I'm very unhappy

E
I wish I wasn't always wrong
                           C#m
I wish it wasn't always my fault
     A                  B
The finger that you're pointing
    G#m               C#m
Has knocked me on my knees
    F#7
And all you need to know is

Chorus:
B
I'm so sorry
         G#m
It's not like me
     C#m
It's maturity
     F#7
That I'm lacking
    B
So don't
            G#m
Don't let me go
            C#m
Just let me know
     F#7               B
That growing up goes slow

I wonder what my mom and dad would say
If I told them that I cry each day
And it’s hard enough to live so far away

I wish I wasn’t always cold
I wish I wasn’t always alone
When the party is over, how will I get home?
And all you need to know is...

Chorus

G#                             C#m
If all the rules are meant to bend
                          F#7
And you swore you were my friend
                        B    C#m
Now I have to start all over again

G#                                 C#m
Cause no one's going to take your place
                          F#7
And I'm scared I'll never save
                       B       C#m F#7
All the pieces of the love we made

Chorus:
"I’m so sorry”
It’s not like me
It’s maturity that I’m lacking
So don’t, don't let me go
Just let me know
That I can slip and fall and you won't let me go
Just let me know
That growing up goes slow
And "I’m so sorry"
It’s not like me
It’s maturity that I'm lacking
So don't, don't let me go
Just let me know
That growing up goes slow
