No one seemed to notice me DEm Being young was getting so old EmBm Cheap beer and cigarettes
Life was like a movie set GD And I seemed to be given no role
Pre-Chorus:
Em But in times of trouble Bm I can turn to my mother DEm And I know that she gon' understand Em So at age 1 Bm I cried to my mother GD And she told me young man
Chorus: EmBm There are moments when you fall to the ground GD But you are stronger than you feel you are now EmBm You don't always have to speak so loud no GD Just be as you are EmBm Life is not always a comfortable ride GD Everybody's got scars that they hide EmBm And everybody plays the fool sometimes yeah GD Just be as you are
EmBm They played me on the radio
And everything was changing so DEm I thought I was all the way grown EmBm But I can still remember in that cold November GD When I realized I'm all alone
Pre-Chorus:
Em But in times of trouble Bm I can turn to my mother DEm And I know that she gon' understand Em So at age Bm I cried to my mother GD And she told me young man
Chorus: EmBm There are moments when you fall to the ground GD But you are stronger than you feel you are now EmBm You don't always have to speak so loud no GD Just be as you are EmBm It doesn't matter if you become some star GD Life is better when you open your heart EmBm You don't always have to act so hard no GD Just be as you are Just be as you are
Bridge:
EmBmGD x 4
CBm If I'm speaking truthfully
I'm not who I used to be DC And I know some people might laugh CBm Cause my music doesn't sound the same
And my head's no longer shaved D I'm worried if I'm on the right path
Pre-Chorus:
Em But in times of trouble Bm I can turn to my mother DEm And I know that she gon' understand Em So at age Bm I spoke to my mother
And she told me young man
Chorus: EmBm There are moments when you fall to the ground GD But you are stronger than you feel you are now EmBm You don't always have to speak so loud no EmD Just be as you are EmBm It doesn't matter if you become some star GD Life is better when you open your heart EmBm You don't always have to act so hard no D Just be as you are Just be as you are
