Intro

Verse

 I was wasting my time

Trying to fall in love

Disappointment came to me and

Booted me and bruised and hurt me

Chorus

But that's how people grow up

That's how people grow up

 I was wasting my time

Looking for love

Someone must look at me and

See their sunlit dream

 I was wasting my time

Praying for love

For a love that never comes

From someone who does not exist

Chorus

But that's how people grow up

That's how people grow up

Bridge

Let me live

Before I die

 No not me

 Not I

 I was wasting my life

Always thinking about myself

Someone on their deathbed said

There are other sorrows too

 I was driving my car

I crashed and broke my spine

So yes there are things worse in life than

Never being someone's sweetie

That's how people grow up

That's how people grow up

That's how people grow up

That's how people grow up

As for me I'm okay

 For now anyway

That's how I hear it, anyhow.

Great song from a great artist- go Team Morrissey.

- Keith H.
