C They tell you while you’re young Am Girls, go out and have your fun Em Then they hunt and slay the ones F G Who actually do it C Criticize the way you fly Am When you’re soaring through the sky Em Shoot you down and then they sigh F G And say, “She looks like she’s been through it” F Lord what will become of me G Once I’ve lost my novelty F G C I’ve had too much to drink tonight G/B Am And I know it’s sad but this is what I think about F G C And I wake up in the middle of the night G/B Am It’s like I can feel time moving F G How can a person know everything at 18 C G/B Am But nothing at 22 F And will you still want me G When I’m nothing new? C How long will it be cute Am All this crying in my room Em When you can’t blame it on my youth F G And roll your eyes with affection C And my cheeks are growing tired Am From turning red and faking smiles Em F G Are we only biding time till I lose your attention? F And someone else lights up the room G People love an ingénue F G C I’ve had too much to drink tonight G/B Am How did I go from growing up to breaking down? F G C And I wake up in the middle of the night G/B Am It’s like I can feel time moving F G How can a person know everything at 18 C G/B Am But nothing at 22 F And will you still want me G When I’m nothing new? C F I know someday I’m gonna meet her G F It’s a fever dream G F The kind of radiance you only have at seventeen G F She’ll know the way and then she’ll say she got the map from me G C I’ll say I’m happy for her then I’ll cry myself to sleep Am Em F Oooh Oooh Oooh C Am Em F Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh F G C I’ve had too much to drink tonight G/B Am How did I go from growing up to breaking down? F G C And I wake up in the middle of the night G/B Am It’s like I can feel time moving F G How can a person know everything at 18 C G/B Am But nothing at 22 F And will you still want me G When I’m nothing new?
