[Verse 1]
                           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          Gsus4 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                     Gsus4       G
And say, “She looks like she’s been through it”

Em           C         G     D
  Once, I had an empire in a golden age

Em          C          G         D
  I was held up so high, I used to be great

Em                  C          G      D
  They used to cheer when they saw my face

Em           C       G           D
  Now, I fear I have fallen from grace
[Pre-Chorus]
          Am     G       F
Lord what will become of me

                   Gsus4  G
Once I’ve lost my novelty
[Chorus]
F         G             C
  I’ve had too much to drink tonight

                        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

                Am
It’s like I can feel time moving

F                       G
 How can a person know everything at 18

    C                 Am
But nothing at twenty-two?

             F
And will you still want me

G                      C
When I’m nothing new?

    Em     C       G        D
And I feel like my castle's crumbling down

    Em      C      G       D
And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground

    Em        C       G        D                   Em   C
And you don't want to know me, I will just let you down

D                        Em  C G D
 You don't wanna know me now
[Verse 2]
                    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             Gsus4 G
And roll your eyes with affection

                          C
And my cheeks are growing tired

                            Am
From turning red and faking smiles

                   Em          F              Gsus4 G
Are we only biding time till I lose your attention?

            Am          G      F
And someone else lights up the room

                Gsus4   G
People love an ingénue

Em           C              G      D
  Once, I was the great hope for a dynasty

Em                 C           G         D
  Crowds would hang on my words and they trusted me

Em                C             G             D
  Their faith was strong, but I pushed it too far

Em            C              G        D
  I held that grudge 'til it tore me apart

Em      C              G      D
  Power went to my head and I couldn't stop

Em       C              G          D
  Ones I loved tried to help, so I ran them off

Em           C                G          D
  And here I sit alone behind walls of regret

Em                C             G       D
Falling down like promises that I never kept
[Chorus]
F         G             C
  I’ve had too much to drink tonight

                  Am
How did I go from growing up to breaking down?

     F       G                         C
And I wake up in the middle of the night

                Am
It’s like I can feel time moving

F                       G
 How can a person know everything at 18

    C                 Am
But nothing at twenty-two?

             F
And will you still want me

G
When I’m nothing new?

    Em     C       G        D
And I feel like my castle's crumbling down

    Em      C      G       D
And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground

    Em        C       G        D                   Em   C
And you don't want to know me, I will just let you down

D                        C
 You don't wanna know me now
[Bridge]
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

 C    Am   Em    F
Oooh  Oooh Oooh Oooh

C      Em D
 Ooh, ooh

C     Em D
 Ooh, ooh

Em                   C
  My foes and friends watch my reign end

C            D
I don't know how it could've ended this way

Em
  Smoke billows from my ships in the harbor

C
People look at me like I'm a monster

G
 Now they're screaming at the palace front gates

        D
Used to chant my name

                                 Em
Now they're screaming that they hate me

                     Em
Never wanted you to hate me
[Chorus]
   G        D
My castle's crumbling down

    Em      C      G       D
And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground

    Em        C       G        D                   Em   C G
And you don't want to know me, I will just let you down

   D                  Em   C G
My castle's crumbling down

D                       Em  C G D
You don't wanna know me now

         G             C
 I’ve had too much to drink tonight

                        Am                            F
But I wonder if they’ll miss me once they drive me out

                   G                     C
I wake up (wake up) in the middle of the night

          Am
And I can feel time moving

F                       G
 How can a person know everything at 18

    C                 Am
But nothing at twenty-two?

             F             G
And will you still want me

         C             Am
Will you still want me

          F
Will you still want me

G
  When I’m nothing new?
