Biografia:
Josh Joplin Group was an American Georgia-based pop music band led by singer-songwriter Josh Joplin. Joplin, a self-proclaimed "dork" who nonetheless dropped out of school in tenth grade to become a folk singer like his hero Phil Ochs, brought the group its trademark combination of introspective lyrics, folk-rock melodies, and lead vocals that, to many, sound identical to those of R.E.M. singer Michael Stipe (to the point that one Joplin song, "Happy at Last," begins, "I sound like Michael Stipe and I dream like Carl Jung").

Josh Joplin - The Growing Up Boy
[Intro]
C F C
[Verse 1]
F C
Friends wear the scars of the lessons you learned
F C
And you sit by the embers of the bridges you've burned
G F C
We all have a story and we each take a turn
Dm F C F C
Laughing at all of your shit
[Verse 2]
F C
And everyone is just somebody you knew
F C
And you never mean harm by the things that you do
G F C
But saying it through tears, don't make it true
Dm F C
Just makes it hard to forget it
[Chorus]
G F C
And the growing up boy, he never grows up
G F C
He's taunted by fear and haunted by love
Dm F C
Too late to learn, you've taken enough
F G C
Growing up boy
[Verse 3]
F C
It's heartache, it's heartbreak, it's dark clouds and then
F C
It's a day of self-pity and he's on the mend
G F C
He finds true love for the first time again
Dm F C
When the memory of the last girl lapses
[Verse 4]
F C
And he wakes up half-hearted and he looks at his phone
F C
For a message to remind him that he's not alone
G F C
And he always has many, but none are from home
Dm F C F
So he goes back to bed and collapses
[Chorus]
G F C
And the growing up boy, he never grows up
G F C
He's taunted by fear and haunted by love
Dm F C
Too late to learn, you've taken enough
F
Growing up boy
[Instrumental]
C F C
[Verse 5]
F C
'Each day is your birthday', is what I wrote in a card
F C
To say a kind word, I just found it too hard
G F C
I erased what I meant, so just disregard
Dm F C
Make what you want of this form
[Verse 6]
F C F C
Love is not like the songs that you sing
F C
How could you complain when it don't mean a thing
G F C
You can steal every verse and you break every string
Dm F C
And there's no one around when you're done
[Chorus]
G F C
And the growing up boy, he never grows up
G F C
He's taunted by fear and haunted by love
Dm F C
Too late to learn, you've taken enough
F C
Growing up boy, grow up
