Part Of Growing Up

E A E B

[Verse 1]

E                         A
I used to crave ice-cold Coke in the summertime
E                              B
It went so good with that hot sun
E                                    A
    But these days I'd rather drink beer and catch a buzz
E                   B              E
    I guess that's part of growin' up
E                                  A
    Boy, that thrill with a bunch of friends and a bunch of bikes
E                     B
Died the day I turned sixteen
E                                  A
    Turned into chasin' pretty girls in a pickup truck
E                   B              E
    I guess that's part of growin' up

[Chorus]

C#m             B                  E
Some doors have opened, more have shut
C#m                     B                   E
    And I've had some dreams that turned to dust
C#m                B              A
    Yeah, life has hit me just because it
           E
Can with heavy hands
   A           B                A
But that's all part of growin' up

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]

E                      A
Jessica was my first kiss and that was enough
E                       B
Until we started makin' love
E                         B     A               B
I don't really remember why it ended, but it cut
E                   B        E
The painful part of growin' up

[Chorus]

C#m             B                  E
Some doors have opened, more have shut
C#m                     B                   E
    And I've had some dreams that turned to dust
C#m                B              A
    Yeah, life has hit me just because it
           E
Can with heavy hands
   A           B                A
But that's all part of growin' up

[Instrumental]

E B E B A

        E            B
Its all part of growing up
E                                  A
My face is showing some years, my body's feelin' rust
E                         B
But in my mind, I'm still young
E
I guess until I'm pushin' up daisies
A
I'll be pushin' my luck
E               B           E      A   B   E
And I'll always be growin' up
