Frank Turner - Photosynthesis

Well I ^Gguess I should confess that I am starting to get old. All the ^Dlatest music fads all passed me by and left me cold. All the ^Amkids are talking slang I won’t pretend t^Go understand. All my ^Dfriends are getting married, mortga^Ages and pension ^Dplans. And it’^Gs obvious my angry adolescent days are done. And I’^Dm happy and I’m settled in the person I’ve become. But that ^Amdoesn’t mean I’m settled up a^Gnd sitting out the game- ^ATime may change a lot. But some ^Dthings they stay the same. ___________________________________________________________________ CHORUS: (No guitar) ___________________________________________________________________ BUILD UP INTO VERSE 2: D, Dsus2, D, Dsus2 ___________________________________________________________________

Oh, ma^Gturity’s a wrapped-up package deal or so it seems. ^DDitching teenage fantasy means ditching all your dreams. All your ^Amfriends and peers and family sole^Gmnly tell you you will have to ^Dgrow up, be an ^Aadult. Yeah, be ^Dbored and unfulfilled. But ^Gno one’s yet explained to me exactly what’s so great about ^Dslaving 50 years away on something that you hate. About ^Ammeekly shuffling down the path of m^Gediocrity. Well if ^Athat’s your road then take it but it?^D??s not the road for me. ______________________________________________________________________

And if ^Bmall you ever do with your life is Just ^Aphotosynthe^Gsise, then you’ll ^G/Gbdeserve every hour of your sleepless nights that you ^Ewaste wondering ^Awhen you’re gonn^Da die.

^G And I ^Awon't s^Dhut up And most of ^Eall i will ^Gnot ^Agrow ^Dup.

And I won't sit ^Edown ^G And I ^Awon't s^Dhut up And most of ^Eall i will ^Gnot... g^Arow... ^Dup...
