[Intro]
E D B A
[Verse 1]
E
They say, "Boys don't cry"
But your daddy shed a lot of tears
E
They say I should be a strong man
But, baby, I'm still filled with fear
E
Sometimes I don't know who I am
Sometimes I question why I'm here
E
I just wanna be a good dad
E
Well, I'll be, I had no idea
{Verse 2]
E
They say, "Girls shouldn't be tough"
And Mom should raise the kids at home
E
But Baby, I know that that isn't true
'Cause your momma's the toughest person I know
E
I wanna raise you to be like her
And watch you show the world how to do it on your own
E
I'm still trying to figure out who I am
I don't wanna mess this up or do this wrong
[Verse 3]
E
I'm gonna be there for your first breath
I don't know if I'll be there for your first step
E
I do promise you that I'll try to work less
But the tool is rotted
E
And I got this album
Put in so many hours
E
And I just want the outcome to be something
That I can look back and I can be proud of
[Verse 4]
E
Don't wanna be a dad that's living in Facetime
But I got a world to sing to and you at the same time
E
I won't spoil you
You can trust that
E
but your Sweet Sixteen you get a bus pass
Had your heart broken?
E
Been there done that
I love you, and I can't give you enough of that
[Verse 5]
E
Back to the community that raised you up
Read Langston Hughes
E
I suggest The Raisin in the Sun
Listen to Sam Cooke, A Change Gon' Come
E
You put the work in, don't worry about the parise, my love
Don't try to change the world
E
Find something that you love
And do it every day
E
Do that for the rest of your life
E
And eventually the world will change
{Chorus]
E A
I'll be patient, one more month
E A
You wrap your fingers around my thumb
E A
Times are changing, I know
Who am I?
E A
You'll find the person you become
E A
Yes, I'm still growing up, up, up, up
E A
I'll still growing up, up, up, up
Still growing up
[Verse 6]
E
I recommend that you read The Alchemist
Listen to your teachers
E
But cheat in calculus
And tell the truth
E
Regardless of the consequence
And everyday, give your momma a compliment
[Verse 7]
A
Take your girl to the prom
E
But don't get too drunk hanging out the limo
A
Slow dance with your woman in your arms
E
Sneak her after, but boy, you better tiptoe
A
Don't wake your mom up
Do yoga, learn about karma
B E
Find God, but be the Dogma
[Verse 8]
A
The quickest way to happiness
Learn to be selfless
D
Ask more questions
Talk about yourself less
A
Study David Bowie, James Bowen, and Tupac
E
Watch the sunset with best friends from a rooftop
[Verse 9]
A
Wear a helmet
Don't be stupid
E
J-walk, but look before you do it
A
If it snows, go outside
Build a jump, Get some help
E
Get a sled, thrash the hill
With your friends, till it melts
[Verse 10]
D
Go to festivals
Camp, fall in love, dance
D
Only young once, my love, one
This is your chance
D
Take risks
E
'Cause life moves so fast
Only young once, my love, one
E
This is your chance
{Chorus]
A E
I'll be patient, one more month
A E
You wrap your fingers around my thumb
F#m E
Times are changing, I know
Who am I?
A E
You'll find the person you become
A E
Yes, I'm still growing up, up, up, up
F#m E
I'll still growing up, up, up, up
[Outro]
A E
I'll be patient, one more month

You wrap your fingers around my thumb
F#m E
Times are changing, I know
Who am I?

I'll still growing up

I'll still growing up

I'll still growing up
E
I'll still growing up
A
I'll still growing up
