                           C
They tell you while you're young

                             Am
"Girls, go out and have your fun"

                            Em       F        G
Then they hunt and slay the ones 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"
[Pre-Chorus]
                          F
Lord, what will become of me

                    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 22

             F
And will you still want me

G
When I'm nothing new?
C F C F [Part II: Dear Reader] [Verse]
F                  Am
Dear reader, if it feels like a trap

       G
You're already in one

F            Am
Dear reader, get out your map

     G
Pick somewhere and just run

F            Am
Dear reader, burn all the files

   G
Desert all your past lives

F                Am
And if you don't recognize yourself

G
That means you did it right
[Chorus]
G
Never take advice from someone

Am       F
Who's falling apart

G
Never take advice from someone

Am       F
Who's falling apart
F Am G G F Am G G [Part III: Nothing New] [Bridge]
F                                          G      F
I know someday, I'm gonna meet her, it's a fever dream

F                                   G    F
The kinda radiance you only have at seventeen

F                                                   G        F
She'll know the way and then she'll say she got the map from me

F                                         G         C
I'll say I'm happy for her, then I'll cry myself to sleep

       Am     F   G
Oh, woah, oh

        C      Am        F       G
Oh, woah, oh, woah, oh, oh
[Part V: Dear Reader] [Bridge]
     F
So I wander through these nights

         Am
I prefer hiding in plain sight

    G
My fourth drink in my hand

                G
These desperate prayers of a cursed man

         F
Spilling out to you for free

     Am
But, darling, darling, please

             G                                       F
You wouldn't take my word for it if you knew who was talking

           Am           G
If you knew where I was walking
To a house, not a home
                          F
All alone 'cause nobody's there

        Am
Where I pace in my pent

                                 G
And my friends found friends who care

                                                  F
No one sees when you lose when you're playing solitaire
[Refrain]
                        Am             G
You should find another guiding light, guiding light

       G
But I shine so bright

F                        Am             G
You should fiind another guiding light, guiding light
[Part VI: Nothing New] [Chorus]
F           G            C
But I've had too much to drink tonight

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

      F      G                     C
And I 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 22

             F            G
And will you still want me

         C            Am
Will you still want me

         F           G
Will you still want me
When I'm nothing new? C Am F G [Part VII: Dear Reader / Nothing New] [Outro]
C           Am
Dear reader

         F             G
Will you still want me?

     C
Dear reader,

Am                  F     G
when I'm nothing new

C          Am
Dear reader

         F             G
Will you still want me
When I'm nothing new? C
