                CAPO: 1st FRET
 
[Intro]
D  D  G  G  Bm7  A  G
 
 
[Verse]
   A              D                            A
I thought it was normal to watch your parents fight
                 G                         A
It taught me dysfunction was just part of life
      Bm7                   A                        G   A
That loves just a word that we use to excuse our mistakes
 
    D
Now I can't tell if I'm
   A
Afraid or just jaded
   G                           A
I guess I'm just scared to end up the way they did
 
Bm7
How Do I unlearn the ways
   A
I deal with pain
                             G
When that was all that they taught me
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
    Bm  A         D                  G
To everyone I've loved who's let me down
 
 G   A    Bm     A        D                G
Let this letter hold what I can't say out loud
 
 
[Chorus]
           D
What Do I owe you
             A
For who I became
              G
Should I say thank you
 
Or curse your name
 
               Bm
Do I give you credit
               A
Or all of the blame
                   G
'Cause growth and pain
 
Always feel the same
 
          D
Feel the same
          G
Feel the same
 
 
[Verse]
           D
I try to avoid it, when I met somebody new
                G
I fall for the same shit
            A
That I did with you
 
                Bm
'Cause there's comfort in chaos
     A                    G
And that's why I kept you around
 
Mm mm mm
 
      D
It's insane to me
 
That this could be
 
The medicine and the disease
   G
A cigarette that's killing me
    A                      Bm
Yet I still want to breath in
 
                  D
I keep trying to wash off this smell
          G
But it's stuck on my skin
 
 
[Chorus]
           D
What Do I owe you
             A
For who I became
              G
Should I say thank you
 
Or curse your name
 
               Bm
Do I give you credit
               A
Or all of the blame
                   G
'Cause growth and pain
 
Always feel the same
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
             D
I wanted to fix this
 
I thought we could change
                 G
But when will I learn
 
That's a damn mistake
 
                  Bm
And I'll keep on giving
             A
Til my body breaks
                        G
'Cause this growth and pain
 
Always feel the same
 
 A        D
Feel the same
          G
Feel the same
          Bm       A
Feel the saaa-a-a-ame
         G
Unh unh unhhhh
 
 
[Break]
D                          G
 I know it's not your fault
                                    Bm     A         G
But I don't know how to repay-ay-ay-ay you, ooh ooh ooh ooh
           D
Ooh ooh ooh
             A                G
(Growth and pain, growth and pain, growth and pain)
               Bm7             A              G
(They feel the same, feel the same, feel the same)
 
 
[Outro]
                      Bm
Still don't know the difference
                 A
I hope that can change
        D        G
'Cause love and hate
 
They still feel the same
 A        D
Feel the same
