Intro 2x: Em Bm G D Em Bm Virginia Woolf and poetry No one seemed to notice me D Em Being young was getting so old Em Bm Cheap beer and cigarettes Life was like a movie set G D And I seemed to be given no role Em But in times of trouble Bm I can turn to my mother D Em And I know that she gon' understand Em So at age 18 Bm I cried to my mother G D And she told me, "young man" Em Bm "There are moments when you fall to the ground G D But you are stronger than you feel you are now Em Bm You don't always have to speak so loud, no G D Just be as you are Em Bm Life is not always a comfortable ride G D Everybody's got scars that they hide Em Bm And everybody plays the fool sometimes, yeah G D Just be as you are" Em Bm They played me on the radio And everything was changing, so D Em I thought I was all the way grown Em Bm But I can still remember in that cold November G D When I realized I'm all alone Em But in times of trouble Bm I can turn to my mother D Em And I know that she gon' understand Em So at age 22 Bm I cried to my mother G D And she told me, "young man" Em Bm "There are moments when you fall to the ground G D But you are stronger than you feel you are now Em Bm You don't always have to speak so loud, no G D Just be as you are Em Bm It doesn't matter if you become some star G D Life is better when you open your heart Em Bm You don't always have to act so hard, no G D Just be as you are, Just be as you are" ( Em Bm G D ) (x4) C Bm If I'm speaking truthfully I'm not who I used to be D C And I know some people might laugh C Bm Cause my music doesn't sound the same And my head's no longer shaved D I'm worried if I'm on the right path Em But in times of trouble Bm I can turn to my mother D Em And I know that she gon' understand Em So at age 26 Bm I spoke to my mother And she told me, "young man" Em Bm "There are moments when you fall to the ground G D But you are stronger than you feel you are now Em Bm You don't always have to speak so loud, no G D Just be as you are Em Bm It doesn't matter if you become some star G D Life is better when you open your heart Em Bm You don't always have to act so hard, no G D Just be as you are, Just be as you are" ( Em Bm G D ) (x4) G Be as you are
