[Verse 1]
G G C
I threw out all my dresses and put my Bible in a box
G G C
Got rid of shallow people who like to tell me what I'm not
Em D
I even kissed an Emily and came out to my family
C
I learned to take it easy
D
Let empathy surround me
[Chorus]
G
Am I growing up
C
Or am I growing in
Em D
To my skin and my age and my surroundings
C
The niche and the bad things about me?
G
Am I moving on
C
Or am I moving in
Em D
And accepting that I'll always be changing
C
That this life is a mess and it's amazing?
Em D C
I wish I coulda told myself when I was a kid
Em D C G
Nobody's really growing up, we're just growing in
[Verse 2]
G G C
I finally stopped chasing personified question marks
G C
Now I can talk politics with my grandpa and not take it to heart
Em D
And I fell in love, then fell out of it, thought it'd kill me, but I got over it
C
I'm not afraid of a full meal
D
The mirror or my brain
[Chorus]
G
Am I growing up
C
Or am I growing in
Em D
To my skin and my age and my surroundings
C
The niche and the bad things about me?
G
Am I moving on
C
Or am I moving in
Em D
And accepting that I'll always be changing
C
That this life is a mess and it's amazing?
Em D C
I wish I coulda told myself when I was a kid
Em D C G
Nobody's really growing up, we're just growing in
[Outro]
G C
You have time, kid
G
So, just take your time, kid
C
You have time, kid, kid, kid
G
(You have time, kid)
(Just take your time, kid)
(You have time, kid)
(Just take your time, kid, kid, kid)
