Verse 1
[C] [F] [Am] [G]
I used to shut my door while my mother screamed in the kitchen
[C] [F] [Am] [G]
I'd turn the music up, get high and try not to listen
[C] [F] [Am] [G]
To every little fight, 'cause neither one was right
Pre-Chorus
[C] [F]
I swore I'd never be like them
[Am] [G]
But I was just a kid back then
Chorus
[F] [G]
The older I get the more that I see
[C] [Am]
My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me
[F] [G]
And loving is hard, it don't always work
[C] [Am]
You just try your best not to get hurt
[F] [G]
I used to be mad but now I know
[C] [Am]
Sometimes it's better to let someone go
[F]
It just hadn't hit me yet
[C]
The older I get
Verse 2

I used to wonder why, why they could never be happy
[C] [F] [Am] [G]
I used to close my eyes and pray for a whole 'nother family
[C] [F] [Am] [G]
Where everything was fine, one that felt like mine
Pre-Chorus
[C] [F]
I swore I'd never be like them
[Am] [G]
But I was just a kid back then
Chorus
[F] [G]
The older I get the more that I see
[C] [Am]
My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me
[F] [G]
And loving is hard, it don't always work
[C] [Am]
You just try your best not to get hurt
