	        INTRO:  G D Em C X 2 
 
VERSE: 
 
G       D         C        D      
Lookin' back on my younger days 
G          D            C       D  
Life was a play and the world a stage  
G              D          C     D 
Lust, love and greed were in my heart  
  C                          D 
I thought I had to play each part  
 
G        D          C        D 
I'd skip school and get in a fight 
G               D          C      D    
Had a different girl every Friday night  
G          D/F#      Em    
But it all came out in the wash  
C               D            G    
Dad always said boys will be boys  
 
 
PRE-CHORUS: 
 
C                         Bm    
And Mom and dad backed me through it all  
C                 Bm 
Picked me up each time I'd fall  
Am                     G 
In fact they called it growing pains  
         C             D           
And said all kids must try such things  
 
CHORUS: 
 
G            D          C          D 
They kept the faith and brought me through  
G       D         C       D   
I still make a mistake or two  
G       D/F#       Em   
Lookin' back on my younger days 
C                   D           G      D  Em  C, G  D  Em  C  
Life was a play and the world a stage  
 
 
VERSE: 
 
G         D        C       D 
I lost my driver's license twice  
G        D          C        D 
For speeding and running red lights  
G        D          C         D 
But like all kids I lived and learned  
C                         D 
Play with fire and you'll get burned  
 
G            D      C       D 
I bucked the system day and night  
G      D              C         D 
Smoked cigarettes and tried the wine  
G                D/F#      Em 
Thought breakin' rules was bein' cool  
C               D            G     
It's clear to me now I was a fool  
 
 
PRE-CHORUS: 
 
C                         Bm    
And Mom and dad backed me through it all  
C                 Bm 
Picked me up each time I'd fall  
Am                     G 
In fact they called it growing pains  
         C             D           
And said all kids must try such things 
 
CHORUS:  
G            D          C          D 
They kept the faith and brought me through  
G       D         C       D   
I still make a mistake or two  
G       D/F#       Em   
Lookin' back on my younger days 
C                   D           G     C  G  
Life was a play and the world a stage  
 
TAG: 
 
Em                     Bm 
Yeah everything turned out ok  
C               D               G       
Life was a play and the world a stage
