* = Single Strum [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”
[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

      C/B               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

         C/B    Am
It’s like I can feel time moving

F                       G
 How can a person know everything at 18

    C          C/B    Am
But nothing at twenty-two?

             F
And will you still want me

G*                     C
When I’m nothing new?
[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?
[Pre-Chorus]
            Am          G      F
And someone else lights up the room

                Gsus4   G
People love an ingénue
[Chorus]
F         G             C
  I’ve had too much to drink tonight

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

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

         C/B    Am
It’s like I can feel time moving

F                       G
 How can a person know everything at 18

    C          C/B    Am
But nothing at twenty-two?

             F
And will you still want me

G*
When I’m nothing new?
C [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

  Am   Em     F
Oooh  Oooh Oooh

 C    Am   Em    F
Oooh  Oooh Oooh Oooh
[Chorus]
         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          C/B    Am
But nothing at twenty-two?

             F             G
And will you still want me

         C     C/B     Am
Will you still want me

          F
Will you still want me

G*
  When I’m nothing new?
