Intro
|E |D#m |B |C#m | (2x)
[Verse 1]
E D#m
He's got nothing to say, he's got no excuse
B C#m
He's just made that way, and he's going to stay that way
E D#m
Like a dog on the loose in a firework display in a world of his own
B C#m
No, no, no, he won't back down or go running back home
[Chorus]
Bsus4 B
He's come a long way in life
Bsus4
He's got a long way to go
E A#m
He don't even know, he don't care because
D#5 C#5 D#5 A#5 G#5
He's growing up the hard way
D#5 C#5 D#5 A#5 G#5
In and out of trouble every day
D#5 C#5 D#5 A#5 G#5
Growing up the hard way
D#5 C#5 D#5 A#5 G#5
Now no telling where you'll end up, boy
[Instrumental]
|E |D#m |B |C#m |
[Verse 2]
E D#m
And he's got nothing to say, like he's lost for the worlds, his mind is in a daze
B C#m
That's his way, it's just a little game he plays
E D#m
He's got nowhere to run while the city sleeps he wanders alone
B C#m
Cutting through the steel and the hearts of stone
[Chorus]
Bsus4 B
He's come a long way in life
Bsus4
He's got a long way to go
E A#m
He don't even know, he don't care because

D#5 C#5 D#5 A#5 G#5
In and out of trouble every day
D#5 C#5 D#5 A#5 G#5
Growing up the hard way
D#5 C#5 D#5 A#5 G#5
You'd better walk the straight and narrow
D#5 C#5 D#5 A#5 G#5
Growing up the hard way
D#5 C#5 D#5 A#5 G#5
In and out of trouble every day
D#5 C#5 D#5 A#5 G#5
Growing up the hard way

Never know what you're in for, boy
