Ab7
Has it really been that long?
    Fm          Gb7
Did I count the days wrong?
    Ab7
Did we just go back at all
        Fm7    Gb7
All the way to step one?


[Pre-Chorus]
Ab     Ab7
People ask me all the time
      Fm       Gb7
Every time the show's up
             Ab7
"So what you doin' with your luck?"
         Fm   Gb7
It ain't givin' up


[Chorus]
     Ab      Ab7       Ab
Just growin' up in stages
 Fm    Gb7
(Lay down no more)
           Ab7        Bbm Gb7 Gb
Livin' life in phases
Eb             Ab     Bbm Gb7
Another season changes
             Ab            Ab7  Fm Db7 Gb7
And still my days are shapeless


[Post-Chorus]
Eb7         Ab7
I should be flying straight, don't be late
       Bbm  Gb        Bbm Gb7
'Cause time waits for no one
            Ab7
I should be flying straight, don't be late

'Cause time takes from everyone

Ab7       Db
I've been waiting here
        Cm
Waiting for the day to come

Take us to the place
          Cm
Takin' us where we have gone


[Pre-Chorus]
Ab                           Ab7
They would ask me all the time
        Fm    Gb
Showin' up in ages
             Ab                 Ab7
"So what you doin' with your luck?"

And still my ways are aimless, I know
       Ab                 Fm Gb7
We're growin' up in stages
        Gb         Ab       Fm Gb7
And I'm runnin' out of pages
Ab
Growin' up
