Strum
D-DU-UDU
 On B7*, just play a variation of  by moving your pinky up one fret on the b string.
This  spirit is holding us down
We  shit our shoulders are in deep
Pulling  us to the light
Toasted  our backs in the sun
And  I waited for the next call
We  got all out ears pressed  against the wall
But  now our days are set straight
We're  seeing it all eye to eye
The  balance is still chasing after
Just  hanging on as you walk by
And  they say  it's only natural
They  say we're  coming along just fine
But  I can't help thinking we grew up too fast  (Woah)
And  I know, I know, I know this won't last
 A second longer  than it has
Children  you will, be  cared  for at once
And  wanted  our arms like  promises plucked  from above
This  world is only getting smaller
The  choices aren't ours to be made
And  I to my days
I  feel like wasting my days
And  I can't see what's coming on
And  I can't say  it will all be fine
No  I can't help thinking we grew up too fast  (Woah)
No  I can't help thinking we grew up too fast  (Woah)
And  I know, I know, I know this won't last
 A second longer  than it has
