[Verse 1]
G                                 Cmaj7
Your mother bought you alcohol before you were of age
G                                        Cmaj7
And now your grades are slipping but its just another page
G                          Cmaj7
And honestly its realistic turning out this way
G                                Cmaj7
A detailed form of insecure that never feels the same
 
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
G                        Cmaj7
Cigarettes at 16 yrs but you dont like the taste
G                                  Cmaj7
Swallowed down a few more beers to follow your fathers pace
G                                 Cmaj7
You wanna go to college but youll never graduate
G                                     Cmaj7
Two more years to face your fears and wipe those tears away
Cmaj7
So youuuuu…
 
[Chorus]
    G
You crashed his car
G
Slept at the park
Cmaj7
Walked to my house in the dark
G
Stayed the night
G
Slept alright
Cmaj7
Held my hand til you felt fine
 
[Instrumental]
G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7
 
[Bridge]
G                 Cmaj7
Youre never gonna feel alright
G                     Cmaj7
And youre never gonna sleep as tight
            G           Cmaj7
Cause youre only just a kid
      G           Cmaj7
Youre only just a kid
 
G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7
 
[Verse 3]
G                                     Cmaj7
Your mother broke down crying in your bedroom the other day
    G                                       Cmaj7
She said she missed all the things that she never hear you say
    G                               Cmaj7
She tore up all the photographs and washed them down the drain
    G                            Cmaj7
She said that she wanted you to move so far away
 
[Chorus]
       G
So you crashed the car
G
Slept at the park
Cmaj7
Walked to my house in the dark
G
And you stayed the night
G
Slept alright
         Cmaj7
And you held my hand and felt fine
 
[Instrumental]
G  Cmaj7 G  Cmaj7
 
[Outro]
          G             Cmaj7
But youll never feel alright
          G              Cmaj7
And youll never sleep as tight
            G           Cmaj7
Cause youre only just a kid
           G           Cmaj7
Yeah youre only just a kid
           G           Cmaj7
yeah youre ONLY just a kid
           G           Cmaj7
Yeah youre ONLY just a kid…
