Alec Benjamin - Older (Tour Demo) [Verse 1]

D
I'm not prepared for the future

A
So many things that I just don't know

  Bm                                           G
I cut my hair, bought a new shirt, new pair of shoes

                      D
And it's time to go, I finally found an apartment

A
Signed a lease on a car this month

  Bm                                           G
I can't go back to the start now, time doesn't slow down

I'm on my own [Chorus]

         D
Guess my childhood is over

Now I'm taking down the posters

        A
And I'm putting all my things inside a box next to a toaster

          Bm
That's my closest thing to closure

I can't stop this roller coaster

        G
I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older

         D
Guess my childhood is over

Now I'm taking down my posters

        A
And I'm telling all my friends we'll get together next October

          Bm
That's my closest thing to closure

I can't stop this roller coaster

        G
I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older

[Post-Chorus]

D
  Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra

A
  Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra

Bm                    G
  Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra

[Verse 2]

D
Never thought I'd be twenty

    A
Now thirty don't seem so far away

  Bm                                                   G
I know I gotta make a little money then maybe find somebody

To call my own

D                          A
  Mmm, I'm not ready but I  can't go back in time

  Bm                        G
I   know it's all out of my control now I know

[Chorus]

         D
Guess my childhood is over

Now I'm taking down the posters

        A
And I'm putting all my things inside a box next to a toaster

          Bm
That's my closest thing to closure

I can't stop this roller coaster

        G
I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older

         D
Guess my childhood is over

Now I'm taking down my posters

        A
And I'm telling all my friends we'll get together next October

          Bm
That's my closest thing to closure

I can't stop this roller coaster

        G
I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older

[Post-Chorus]

D
  Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra

A
  Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra

Bm                   G
  Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra

[Bridge]

         D
Guess my childhood is over

                                      A
One day I'll be buying posters for my kids just like my parents

Did for me, it's never over

             Bm
They'll grow up and soon enough they'll wish that time would just move slower

        G
I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older

[Chorus]

         D
Guess my childhood is over

Now I'm taking down the posters

        A
And I'm putting all my things inside a box next to a toaster

          Bm
That's my closest thing to closure

I can't stop this roller coaster

        G
I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older

         D
Guess my childhood is over

Now I'm taking down my posters

        A
And I'm telling all my friends we'll get together next October

          Bm
That's my closest thing to closure

I can't stop this roller coaster

        G
I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older

[Outro]

D
  Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra

A
  Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra

Bm                   G
  Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra
