[N]
Growing up isn't easy to do,
[B] especially for one who [E] always knew
[C#m] You would always come out second [F#] best,
[E] is that why you have such bitterness?
[B]
You have to love your father's eye, and always by your [E] brother's side
Then [C#m] a little sister came along, [F#]
and you [E] found all the affection [F#] suddenly gone
[B]

Watch out!
Don't get caught in the [F#] crossfire
Watch out!
[E] Still growing up, she's in [F#] her range, I guess she reached that critical [B] age

[E] but jealousy never really suited you

There's a man, he's [F#] smiling at you, [E] he must have been the one who [F#] always knew
