	        Intro: E D B A 


E 
 They say, 'Boys don't cry' 
 But your daddy shed a lot of tears 
 They say I should be a strong man 
 But, baby, I'm still filled with fear 
 Sometimes I don't know who I am 
 Sometimes I question why I'm here 
 I just wanna be a good dad 
 Well, I'll be 
 I had no idea 


          E 
 They say, 'Girls shouldn't be tough' 
 And Mom should raise the kids at home 
 But Baby, I know that that isn't true 
 'Cause your momma's the toughest person I know 
 I wanna raise you to be like her 
 And watch you show the world how to do it on your own 
 I'm still trying to figure out who I am 
 I don't wanna mess this up or do this wrong 


E 
 I'm gonna be there for your first breath 
 I don't know if I'll be there for your first step 
 I do promise you that I'll try to work less 
 But the tool is rotted 
 And I got this album 
 Put in so many hours 
 And I just want the outcome to be something 
 That I can look back and I can be proud of 
  

E 
 Don't wanna be a dad that's living in Facetime 
 But I got a world to sing to and you at the same time 
 I won't spoil you 
 You can trust that 
 but your Sweet Sixteen you get a bus pass 
 Had your heart broken? 
 Been there done that 
 I love you, and I can't give you enough of that 


E 
 Back to the community that raised you up 
 Read Langston Hughes 
 I suggest The Raisin in the Sun 
 Listen to Sam Cooke, A Change Gon' Come 
 You put the work in, don't worry about the parise, my love 
 Don't try to change the world 
 Find something that you love 
 And do it every day 
 Do that for the rest of your life 
 And eventually the world will change 


         E                 A 
 I'll be patient, one more month 
               E                 A 
 You wrap your fingers around my thumb 
E                      A 
 Times are changing, I know 

 Who am I? 
                 E            A 
 You'll find the person you become 
                        E           A 
 Yes, I'm still growing up, up, up, up 
                    E           A 
 I'll still growing up, up, up, up  

 Still growing up 
  

E 
 I recommend that you read The Alchemist 
 Listen to your teachers 
 But cheat in calculus 
 And tell the truth 
 Regardless of the consequence 
 And everyday, give your momma a compliment 


           A 
 Take your girl to the prom 
               E 
 But don't get too drunk hanging out the limo 
      A 
 Slow dance with your woman in your arms 
           E 
 Sneak her after, but boy, you better tiptoe 
                 A 
 Don't wake your mom up 
     
 Do yoga, learn about karma 
      B                     E 
 Find God, but be the Dogma 


     A 
 The quickest way to happiness 

 Learn to be selfless 
 D 
 Ask more questions 

 Talk about yourself less 
 A 
 Study David Bowie, James Bowen, and Tupac 
E 
 Watch the sunset with best friends from a rooftop 
  

A 
 Wear a helmet 

 Don't be stupid 
E 
 J-walk, but look before you do it 
       A  
 If it snows, go outside 

 Build a jump, Get some help 
       E 
 Get a sled, thrash the hill 

 With your friends, till it melts 


       D 
 Go to festivals 

 Camp, fall in love, dance 

 Only young once, my love, one 

 This is your chance 

 Take risks 
E 
 'Cause life moves so fast 

 Only young once, my love, one 

 This is your chance  


         A                 E 
 I'll be patient, one more month 
               A                 E 
 You wrap your fingers around my thumb 
F#m                    E 
 Times are changing, I know 

 Who am I? 
                 A            E 
 You'll find the person you become 
                        A           E 
 Yes, I'm still growing up, up, up, up 
                    F#m         E 
 I'll still growing up, up, up, up  


         A                 E 
 I'll be patient, one more month 
               A                 E 
 You wrap your fingers around my thumb 
F#m                    E 
 Times are changing, I know 

 Who am I? 
                 A            E 
 You'll find the person you become 
                        A 
 Yes, I'm still growing up 
                    E 
 I'll still growing up  
                    A 
 I'll still growing up 
                    E 
 I'll still growing up 
                    A 
 I'll still growing up  
                    E 
 I'll still growing up  
                    A 
 I'll still growing up
