Intro: G D Em 


verse 1 

G            D 
I was sitting here thinking one day 
G                D                Em 
Maybe I should go back to writing my own songs 
G                      D              Em 
I was also thinking, what if no one listens to it 
G          D             Em 
or if no one likes what I write 


verse 2 

G           D          Em        
My music is what keeps me going 
G                 D                 Em 
People look at me like, what are you doing next 
G                  D               Em  
I started playing guitar, just a little while ago 
G               D            Em 
So I started writing my own songs 


verse 3 

G            D                Em 
It turns out people really like what I do 
G            D             Em 
I don't know what I'd do without them here 
G                   D                 Em 
Because of my music, my life could take me places 
G               D                Em 
I've never seen before, if I wanted it too 
G                     D           Em 
But that's not what I want to do with my life 


verse 4 

G                   D                 Em 
I'm joining the military, to take my life somewhere new 
G             D                Em 
A lot of people don't think I can do it 
G                 D                  Em 
But I think if I trained hard enough I can do it 
G                 D                   Em 
Yeah, my life is nothing, if I can't make my own choices 


[Refrão]

G          D      Em 
I'm eighteen now, 
G             D              Em 
Waiting on time to stop flying by 
G         D                   Em 
I need time to feel like its just time 
G          D          Em 
I need my world to be mine 

G        D       Em   
And someone to love me  
G               D             Em 
No matter what my life takes me through 
G         D          Em 
If you happen to be that person 
G             D                 Em 
Then you should feel lucky to have me too 
G           D             Em    
I'm not the easiest person to love 

G               D            Em 
If you're my friend then I thank you  
G        D         Em 
For being there for me  
G                 D              Em 
My life is terrible, but I get through it 
G                        D                    Em 
Even though everyone is constantly sticking my head in the mud 

(Repeat Chorus)
