[Intro] | C Fsus2 | C | [Verse 1]
C                Fsus2             C    G/B
 Look at us, we made it out alive

Am                         Fsus2           C
 Those were the years that I learnt to survive

                       Fsus2       C      G/B
Maybe youth ain't the time of our lives

Am     Fsus2       C       Fsus2
 They just romanticise it

              Fsus2             C    G/B
Met you at a party on Halloween

Am                    Fsus2       C    Fsus2
 You were studying at university

               C            Fsus2                C
And all your friends would laugh and joke about me

    G/B       Am           Fsus2               C
But I didn't mind being a punchline at sixteen
[Chorus]
                      F
I liked that you were older

G                   Am           C
 But at the time I didn't understand

                          F
It's 'cause you held the power

G                        Am                  C
 And I thought love was meant to feel like that

                  F
All the things I gave you

G                    Am                  C
 Now I wish I could take them all right back

                   F
'Cause I wasn't a woman yet

G                Am    C
 But you were a man

              F     G             C
I was just a girl in love with a man
[Verse 2]
C                     Fsus2              C    G/B
 And it felt like a twisted game you'd play

Am                    Fsus2           C
 Of who could take my innocence away

    Fsus2    C
But it wasn't yours

     Fsus2           C    G/B
No, never yours to claim

                 Am            Fsus2              C
I thought that to love was to give yourself away
[Chorus]
                F
It sent me into orbit

G                  Am              C
 Knowing that you wanted me like that

           F
Didn't see a problem

G                  Am              C
 It's only now I'm older, looking back

              F
Made me feel so special

G               Am             C
 Now the only thing I feel is mad

                F
'Cause I wasn't a woman yet

G                Am    C
 But you were a man

         F           G
I wasn't a woman yet, but now I am
[Bridge]
Dm
 You'd pick me up in your car

          F
We'd go speeding down the lanes

                 Dm
I'd meet you in town

                          F
With my fake ID, claiming I was 23

             Dm
To get into bars

           Dm
I'd never felt so cool and

 F                                Dm
Now I know you probably knew that I

                         F
Would do anything to impress you

           Dm                     F
And now I wonder, is that how they get you?
[Chorus]
                    F
They say that your youth is

G                 Am           C
 Meant to be the time of your life

               F
But I feel fucking stupid

G                  Am          C
 That I was crying over older guys

                       F
Bet they don't think about it

G                     Am            C
 Wish I knew what I know now back then

                F
'Cause I wasn't a woman yet

G                Am    C
 But you were a man

           F        G             C
I was just a girl in love with a man
