[Verse 1]
A
No-one really knows just what they're doing
                           E
Fake it, try not to let it show
C#7                                D                D#dim
If you find an ace don't let them read it on your face
A                  E                              A
But they don't tell you til you're old enough to know

[Verse 2]
A
Sometimes it feels like the rules are always changin'
                     D                    E
The darkness and the light just come and go
C#7                          D                        D#dim
Then before too long you're on the edge of right or wrong
A                      E                            A
But they don't tell you til you're old enough to know

[Chorus]
D                                  E
It's mostly uphill going from the cradle to the grave
A                                    D
A junkie needs a needle, a prеacher needs a soul to save
E
Stay somewhеre in the middle, stand behind the things you say
 Bm     Bm7                         E    E7
I guess we all just learn it as we go
A                  E                              A
They don't tell you til you're old enough to know

[Verse 3]
A
Don't ever trust a grown man with a nickname
               D                  E
You will reap exactly what you sow
C#7                       D                D#dim
And nothing worth a damn happens after two AM
A                  E                              A
But they don't tell you til you're old enough to know

[Chorus]
D                                                E
It's mostly uphill going from the cradle to the grave
A                             D
A junkie needs a needle, a preacher needs a soul to save
                            E
Stay somewhere in the middle, stand behind the things you say
Bm                             E           E7
I guess we all just learn it as we go
A                  E                              A
They don't tell you til you're old enough to know
A                  E                              A
They don't tell you til you're old enough to know
