I am growing a beard 
                Am 
I hope it isn't weird 
                     D 
When I look into the mirror

I made a fire 
Gm         C 
One with a purpose

Everything I didn't need went inside it

And in the morning 
Gm             C 
I felt so much better 
F      E            Am              D7

I wish someone told me 
Gm             C 
This was gonna happen 
F          E        Am 
But it was probably better that way

What is a life 
Gm          C 
without any lessons

Life is a story without a happy end
