[Intro]
G Em7 C
[Verse 1]
Ain't it Ginteresting
GHow the smallest things stack up
Like the Em7Northern Cascade mountains in the Csky
And all that Gsuffering
Residing in my mind, it alD/F#most Em7killed me
The way it Cleft me
[Pre-Chorus]
Seven Gmonths a man I hated
GCheated on, broken, betrayed and
D/F#All those anEm7xious nights spent wasted
Em7Beating on the face I'm blaming
But I surCvived and now I look back
CAt where I've been
CAnd I know that
[Chorus]
DOoh
I'm Cchanging
I think I'll Gmake it
Signs of life Dshowing again
DAnd I know
DOoh
I'll keep Cchanging
'Cause I've seen Emtrees grow Dafter Cfire
Crying Amrivers Gmake a Cbluff
CAnd you can't love without the loss
And that's the cost of growing upG
DOoh COoh GOoh DOoh
DOoh COoh GOoh DOoh
[Verse 2]
DAin't it Ginteresting
GThat diamonds come from coal
And steel gets Emsharper the more time spent in the flameC
And there's conGsistency
GBetween heartbreak and ashes
GScraped knees and taxes
EmOne step back for every two you Cgain
CAnd I know that
[Chorus]
DOoh
I'm Cchanging
I think I'll Gmake it
Signs of life Dshowing again
DAnd I know
DOoh
I'll keep Cchanging
'Cause I've seen Emtrees grow Dafter Cfire
Crying Amrivers Gmake a Cbluff
CAnd you can't love without the loss
And that's the cost of growing upG
DOoh COoh GOoh DOoh
DOoh COoh GOoh DOoh
[Pre-Chorus]
Seven Gmonths a man I hated
GCheated on, broken, betrayed and
DAll those Emanxious nights spent wasted
EmBeating on the face I'm blaming
But I surCvived, and now I see how far I've come and where I've been
CAnd I know that
[Chorus]
DOoh
I'm Cchanging
I think I'll Gmake it
Signs of life Dshowing again
DAnd I know
DOoh
I'll keep Cchanging
'Cause I've seen Emtrees grow Dafter Cfire
Crying Amrivers Gmake a Cbluff
CAnd you can't love without the loss
And that's the cost of growing upG
[Outro]
Yeah, you can't Amlove withGout the Closs
N.C.
Guess that's the cost of growing upG
