Eldest Child

[Chorus]
F
Take off your jacket, stay a while
C                 Am
Eldest child, you make them smile
F
Pay the price, it goes a mile
C                Am
Give me one more chance to smile
F
Eldest child, eldest child
          C
You gotta walk a long road,
  Am
I know you tired
F
Eldest child, eldest child
            C                       Am
I know your momma and your daddy so goddamn proud

[Post-Chorus]
F
 They don't know me, no
                   C
They don't know me now
                  Am
They don't know nothin' 'bout me, they don't know me,
no
F
 They don't know me, no
Fadd9              C                           Am
They don't know me now They don't know nothin' 'bout me,
they don't know me

F
 Pretty girls and cars, God,
I'm sucking my cheeks in
C           Am
 Shimmering mirage,
I can see what I wanna be
F
 Pretty girls, no hearts,
we can't be what we wanna be
C                  Am
 Many dreams, many stars, many broken promises,
not a keep
F                  C
 Tryna, tryna keep up
             Am
Tryna, tryna keep up
Tryin' not to keep up
F
 It's hard tryna keep it up
C                        Am
 It's hard tryna keep it up
Tryin' not to keep up

[Chorus]
F
Take off your jacket and stay a while

I know you walk a long road,

I know you tired
F
Eldest child, eldest child
           C                          Am
I know you make your mom and daddy so goddamn proud
