Intro:
Dm Am F C
Dm Am
1. Virginia Woolf and poetry
No one seemed to notice me
C Dm
Being young was getting so old
Dm Am
Cheap beer and cigarettes
Life was like a movie set
F C
And I seemed to be given no role
Pre: But in times of trouble
I can turn to my mother
And I know that she gon’ understand
So at age 18
I cried to my mother
And she told me, “young man”
Dm Am
Ch: “There are moments when you fall to the ground
F C
But you are stronger than you feel you are now
Dm Am
You don’t always have to speak so loud, no
F C
Just be asyou areLife is not always a comfortable ride
Everybody’s got scars that they hide
And everybody plays the fool sometimes, yeah
Just be as you are”
Dm Am
2. They played me on the radio
And everything was changing, so
C Dm
I thought I was all the way grown
Dm Am
But I can still remember in that cold November
F C
When I realized I’m allalone
Pre+Ch:
Bridge: If I’m speaking truthfully
I’m not who I used to be
And I know some people might laugh
‘Cause my music doesn’t sound the same
And my head’s no longer shaved
I’m worried if I’m on the right path
Pre+Ch:
Be as you are
