[Intro]
Em Bm G D Em Bm G D
[Verse 1]
Em Bm
Virginia Woolf and poetry
Bm
No one seemed to notice me
D Em
Being young was getting so old
Em Bm
Cheap beer and cigarettes
Bm
Life was like a movie set
G D
And I seemed to be given no role
[Pre-chorus 1]
Em
But in times of trouble
Bm
I can turn to my mother
D Em
And I know that she gon' understand
Em
So at age 18
Bm
I cried to my mother
G D
And she told me, "young man"
[Chorus 1]
Em Bm
There are moments when you fall to the ground
G D
But you are stronger than you feel you are now
Em Bm
You don't always have to speak so loud, no
G D
Just be as you are
Em Bm
Life is not always a comfortable ride
G D
Everybody's got scars that they hide
Em Bm
And everybody plays the fool sometimes, yeah
G D
Just be as you are
[Verse 2]
Em Bm
They played me on the radio
Bm
And everything was changing, so
D Em
I thought I was all the way grown
Em Bm
But I can still remember in the cold November
G D
When I realized I'm all alone
[Pre-chorus 2]
Em
But in times of trouble
Bm
I can turn to my mother
D Em
And I know that she gon' understand
Em
So at age 22
Bm
I cried to my mother
G D
And she told me, "young man"
[Chorus 2]
Em Bm
There are moments when you fall to the ground
G D
But you are stronger than you feel you are now
Em Bm
You don't always have to speak so loud, no
G D
Just be as you are
Em Bm
It doesn't matter if you become some star
G D
Life is better when you open your heart
Em Bm
You don't always have to act so hard, no
G D
Just be as you are, just be as you are
[Bridge]
Em Bm G D
C Bm
If I'm speaking truthfully
Bm
I'm not who I used to be
D C
And I know some people might laugh
C Bm
Cause my music doesn't sound the same
Bm
And my head's no longer shaved
D
I'm worried if I'm on the right path
[Pre-chorus 3]
Em
But in times of trouble
Bm
I can turn to my mother
D Em
And I know that she gon' understand
Em
So at age 26
Bm
I spoke to my mother
N.C.
And she told me, "young man"
[Chorus 3]
Em Bm
There are moments when you fall to the ground
G D
But you are stronger than you feel you are now
Em Bm
You don't always have to speak so loud, no
Em D
Just be as you are
Em Bm
It doesn't matter if you become some star
G D
Life is better when you open your heart
Em Bm
You don't always have to act so hard, no
G D G D
Just be as you are, just be as you are
Em Bm G D
Em Bm G D
Em Bm G D
