[Intro]
[E] [A] [E] [G#] [A]
[Verse1]
[A]They say[E]say boys don't [B]cry
But your [A]daddy shed a lot of tears
They s[E]say I should be a strong [G#]man
But [A]baby, I'm still filled with fear
Somet[E]Sometimes I don't know who I [B]am
Somet[A]Sometimes I question why I'm here
I[E]I just wanna be a good [G#]dad
Will I [A]be? I have no idea
[Verse2]
They say[E]say girls shouldn't be tough
And [A]moms should raise their kids at home
But b[E]baby, I know that that isn't [G#]true
Cause your mom[A]momma's the toughest person I know
I wanna [E]raise you to be like her
And watch you show the [A]world how to do it on your own
I'm still [E]tryna figure out who I [G#]am
I don't wanna mess this [A]up or do this wrong [E]
[Verse3]
[E]I'm gonna be there for your first breath [A]
I don't know if I'll be there for your first step [E]
I can promise you [G#]that I'll try to work less
[A]But the tour's routed, and I got this album
[E]Put in so many hours, and I just want the outcome
[A]To be something that I can look back and I can be proud of
[Verse4]
[E]Don't wanna be a dad [G#]that's living in FaceTime
[A]But I've got a world to sing to and you at the same time [E]
[E]I won't spoil you, you can trust that [A]
[A]For your sweet 16, you get a bus pass [E]
[E]Had your heart broken? [G#]Been there, done that
[A]I love you and I can't give you enough of that
[Verse5]
[E]Give back to community that raised you up
[A]Read Langston Hughes, I suggest "A Raisin in the Sun"
[E]Listen to Sam Cooke, a [G#]change gon' come
You put the [A]work in, don't worry about the praise, my love [E]
[E]Don't try to change the world, find something that you lo[A]love
[A]And do it every day
Do [E]that for the rest of your [G#]life
And even[A]eventually, the world will change
[Chorus]
[Edsheeran]
[A]I'll be [E]patient, one more [A]month
[A]You'll wrap your [E]finger[G#]fingers round my [A]thumb [E]
[E]Times are changing, I know[A]know, but who am I if
I'm the [E]perso[G#]person you be[A]become
[A]If I'm still growing [E]up, up, up, [A]up
[A]I'm still growing [E]up, up, up, [A]up
I'm [E]still growing up
[Verse6]
[E]I recommend that you read The[A]The Alchemist
[A]Listen to your teachers, but [E]cheat in calculus
[E]Tell the truth, r[A]regardless of the consequence
[A]And every day, [E]give your momma a compliment
[Verse7]
[E]Take your girl to the [B]prom
[B]But don't get [A]too drunk hanging out the limo
[A]Slow [E]dance with your woman in your [G#]arms
[G#]Sneak her in [A]after but boy, you better tiptoe
[A]Don't wake your [F#m]mom up, do yoga, [G#]learn 'bout karma
Find[A]Find god, but leave the dogma[B]dogma
[Verse8]
[E]The quickest way to happiness? Learning to be selfless [A]
[A]Ask more questions, talk about yourself less
[E]Study David Bowie, Ja[G#]James Bowen and 2Pac
[A]Watch the sun set with best friends from a rooftop [E]
[Verse9]
[E]Wear a helmet, don't be stupid [A]
[A]Jaywalk, but look before you do it
[A]If it [E]snows, go outside, build a [G#]jump, get some help
Get a [A]sled, thrash the hill with your friends till it melts
[Verse10]
[A]Go to [E]festivals, camp, fall in love and dance
[E]You're only [A]young once, my love, one, this is your chance
[A]Take [E]risks, cause life [G#]moves so fast
You're only [A]young once, my love, one, this is your chance
[Chorus]
[Edsheeran]
[A]I'll be [E]patient, one more [A]month
[A]You'll wrap your [E]finger[G#]fingers round my [A]thumb [E]
[E]Times are changing, I know[A]know, but who am I if
I'm the [E]perso[G#]person you be[A]become
[A]If I'm still growing [E]up, up, up, [A]up
[A]I'm still growing [E]up, up, up, [A]up
I'm [E]still growing up
[A]I'll be [E]patient, one more [A]month
[A]You'll wrap your [E]finger[G#]fingers round my [A]thumb [E]
[E]Times are changing, I know[A]know, but who am I if
I'm the [E]perso[G#]person you be[A]become
[A]If I'm still growing [E]up, up, up, [A]up
[A]I'm still growing [E]up, up, up, [A]up
I'm [E]still growing up
