MARINA (Marina and The Diamonds) – Adult Girl (Guitar)

      C
I can let go of the flower, now my power has returned

      Dm
I can look back at the past, now I see what I have learned

       C
Try my best to act my age, but the child won't behave

             Dm
She wants to scream and cry and rage, and who am I to dig her grave?

    Dm
The teenage years I never lived

    G
The innocence of high school kids

G#dim
Young romance and endless nights

   Am               G
Of carefree joy and pure delight

F
Didn't grow up in a normal world

    Fm                    C
And now I'm just an adult girl

        C
Now I'm too old to die young, but at least I had some fun

         Dm
Spent my twenties on the run drеaming of suicide and love

          C
Think I'm stuck somewhеre between childhood and va-va-voom

       Dm
Always cycling in between existential dread and doom

Dm
Messy, numb, razors and knives

       G
Missed arteries and blacked-out nights

G#dim
Kittens, mittens, plushie toys

Am                  G
Bows and hearts and sullen boys

F
Robbed me of a teenage world

    Fm                C
Now I'm just an adult girl

     Fm
An adult girl

         C
Someone, tell me how to heal the terror livin' inside me

        Dm
I don't even know what's real, I just know I wanna be free

Dm
All the things I lost and loved

G
Swept them underneath the rug

G#dim
Like a child, I wait and hope

    Am               G
You might repair the things you broke

F
Now I understand the world

   Fm                         C
Of adult boys 'cause I'm an adult girl

F
I'm an oyster without a pearl

    Fm                              C
But that's just how it is for an adult girl
