                            C
They tell you while you’re young

                             Am
“Girls, go out and have your fun”

                            Em
Then they hunt and slay the ones who 

F        G
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”

                          F
Lord, what will become of me

                    G
Once I’ve lost my novelty?

F         G          C
I’ve had too much to drink tonight
And I know it’s sad
    C7
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 eighteen

    C          Em Am
But nothing at 22?

F
And will you still want me

G
when I’m nothing new?

                    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         G
And roll your eyes with affection

                          C
And my cheeks are growing tired

                            Am
From turning red and faking smiles

                   Em
Are we only biding time

       F         G
till I lose your attention?

                               F
And someone else lights up the room

               G
people love an ingénue

F        G           C
I’ve had too much to drink tonight

                  C7
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 eighteen

    C          Em Am
But nothing at 22?

             F
And will you still want me

     G
when I’m nothing new?

F
I know someday I’m gonna meet her

       G     F
It’s a fever dream

            F                         G    F
The kind of radiance you only have at seventeen

                F
She’ll know the way

                F               G        F
and then she’ll say she got the map from me

              F
I’ll say I am happy for her

Am               G       C
then I’ll cry myself to sleep

    Cm
Ooh woah, ooh woah, ooh, ooh

F         F   G                 C
I’ve had (I’ve had) too much to drink tonight
But I wonder if they’ll
C7
miss me once they drive me out

  F        F    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 eighteen

    C          Em Am
But nothing at 22?

F                        G
And will you still want me,

         C            Am
will you still want me

         F             G                     C
Will you still want me when I am nothing new?
